Grady Champion's high-energy singing and harmonica playing, coupled with a creative update of the traditional blues lament, put him on the national touring blues map, and helped launch his career beyond the boundaries of his native Jackson, Mississippi. Starting his musical career in the early 1990s as a rapper named MC Gold, he changed his style when he discovered the Blues.
Immersing himself in the music of the major blues artists of the past, most notably Sonny Boy Williamson, whom he acknowledges as his greatest influence, Champion eventually became a stylish blues artist of note.
His revved-up, soulful vocalizing, and the charm and insight he brings to his songwriting, mark him as an important new talent.
