My name is Coby Grant and I am a musician and songwriter from Australia, based in Germany. I've been writing, recording and performing music since I was 15 years old. I've independently released three albums, plus a couple of EPs and singles. When I was 19 I signed to independent publisher in Australia, GAGA Publishing, who placed one of my songs in a TV Commercial in Scandinavia, which was the catalyst for heading over to Europe and playing shows all over. I fell in love in Germany from the first gig so I have spent most of my time living and touring through there. Last year, I also participated in The Voice of Germany and made it to the semifinal. That was an awesome experience and allowed me to reach a lot of people. Promotion is expensive and that was incredible exposure for an independent artist. The only negative was the fact that I wasn't allowed to do many gigs and I had to remove most of my original music from online for a period of six months. That made finances a bit difficult, but it gave me alot of time to write new songs, which brings me to this crowdfunding campaign.
