Bio:
Grand was formed in 2020 in the southern outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden. Vocalist Mattias Olofsson had always nurtured a dream of releasing his own AOR project one day. Working for almost two decades as a professional singer and songwriter, he kept experimenting with ideas and writing songs, just waiting for the right moment. In the fall of 2020, the stars finally aligned, when he came to know two fellow musicians who shared his passion for the AOR genre: guitarist and producer Jakob Svensson (Wigelius) and drummer Anton Martinez Matz. The trio joined forces soon after and Grand became a reality. Through a combination of old and new ideas, all with influences from their favourite bands such as Starship, Foreigner, Mr. Big, Giant and the like, four songs were finalized that the band felt best represented who they wanted to be. They started to send the songs to different labels and in 2021, they signed with Frontiers Music Srl, the leading purveyor of quality melodic rock. Grand continues a long tradition of spectacular AOR bands emerging from Sweden.
Album:
Grand return with "Guilty Pleasure", their third album and the boldest refinement of their Scandinavian AOR sound. Now a five‑piece, the band delivers a high‑energy mix of melodic rock, ’80s pop and modern production, driven by Mattias Olofsson’s soaring vocals, Jakob Svensson’s sharp guitars and Maja Thorén’s atmospheric keyboards. Johannes Arvidsson and Axel Nilsson anchor the record with tight, dynamic rhythm work. Led by the infectious first single “Wild Heart”, the album blends big hooks, lush arrangements and cinematic sheen. "Guilty Pleasure" captures Grand’s evolution with confidence, joy and a renewed commitment to melody and emotional connection.
