In addition to producing his own recordings and co-producing PC3’s more recent releases with his bandmates, Grant also takes on a very small number of other production projects.
Unlike most full-time music producers, Grant is unencumbered by the necessity to churn out a high number of recordings each year to keep the lights on. By contrast, Grant’s small number of production projects are carefully selected and quite rare. And that’s the way he likes it!
The process is highly relational and usually incorporates elements of artist development, co-writing, coaching and discipleship. Grant most definitely sees production opportunities as a chance to grow and mature each individual artist holistically rather than focusing solely on making an excellent sound recording.
During 2020’s pandemic lockdown, Grant took on the task of producing “The Blessing | Aotearoa/New Zealand” song and video. Released in August of that year, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Watch it here:

Resident Alien, Grant’s debut solo album, was self-produced & recorded at Tone Grown Studio in Nashville TN. It is filled with lush riffs, infectious grooves and soulful lyrics.
The album features live favorites “Jesus Loves Me (I Need More)”, “Rwanda”, “My Declaration”, and Grant’s arrangement of the well-loved hymn “Be Thou My Vision” which includes an original verse – and more.
