Steve Grand
Steve Grand (born February 28, 1990)〔http://stevegrand.net/our-interview-with-steve-grand/〕 is an American singer-songwriter and model from Lemont, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. He became an overnight internet celebrity and was acclaimed by some to be the first openly gay male country musician to attract mainstream attention in the United States. The music video of his first hit "All-American Boy" went viral on YouTube in less than a week in July 2013. This attention landed Grand on ''Good Morning America'', CNN and other national media. Buzzfeed ranked the video on its list of the "24 Most Brilliant Music Videos from 2013", and ''Out'' magazine named Grand to its annual "Out100" list of the year's most compelling LGBT people. In addition to being a musician, Grand has become an active figure in the LGBT equality movement. He released his debut album titled ''All American Boy'' financed by a successful ''Kickstarter'' public funding campaign.
==Early life and education==
Grand grew up in the town of Lemont, Illinois, which he has "lovingly described as one of the 'blandest suburbs outside of Chicago'."
Grand started writing music when he was 11 years old. After graduating from Lemont High School, Grand attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, for a year. He then returned to Chicago to enroll at the University of Illinois and later left to focus on his musical career.〔
Grand cites a wide range of musical influences, including: The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Billy Joel, Blink-182, Green Day, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New and Fall Out Boy.〔 Grand told ''QVegas'': “But it was Dad who got me started. He would listen to a song and tell stories about what each song meant to him: where he was in life, who he was dating, what car he was driving. He made me realize the lasting power of music -- how a great song can take you back to the moment you first heard it. From that point on, I knew that’s what I wanted to do in life, create something so real and beautiful that it stays with its listener forever.”
