Christian aka Grasps is an electronic artist & producer based in Eora (Sydney), in so-called Australia. Their sound is experimental electronic, enmeshing sounds from life and the unreal, intending to combine extremes of sound; the gentle with the harsh.

As a solo artist, Grasps has released 2 EPs through PBDY’s LA-based label TAR; a subsidary to Brainfeeder, which received support from the likes of Flying Lotus & Huxley Anne. Their 2019 debut album ‘Awoken’ was received with open arms, blessed with collaborations from visual/3D graphic artist Nicholas Matthew Elstran (US) as well as celebrated Eora-based noise/doom outfit Bract (fka Coward Punch).

His second album 'when will you be here again?' is out now, featuring collaborations from Marcus Whale, Wa?ste & Bayang (tha Bushranger). A reflection on dying & the uncertainties of identity & self-worth, WWYBHA is an 11-track deep-dive into gentle & destructive vulnerability.

Grasps has produced music for local and international acts such as 1300, Rico Nasty, BKTHARULA, Teezo Touchdown, Laces (NLV Records), Bayang tha Bushranger, Sevy, Triple One, Gift Exchange, BBIANCA & Porcelain Boy. He has performed live in support of Yung Lean (2016), Bladee (2019), Thaiboy Digital (2019), Fatima al Qadiri (2016), Cashmere Cat (2016) and has appeared internationally at respected institutions Forestlimit (Tokyo), Circus (Tokyo) & TwentyAlpha (Hong Kong) [2023]. Grasps remains a long-standing host on Hong Kong Community Radio (Field of Dreams) showcasing local and international acts monthly since 2021.
