Known for poignant out-of-love songs that combine a reverence for classic soul with modern electronics and traditional instrumentation, the Brooklyn-based, Pittsburgh-born singer-songwriter released his debut Mellow Drama EP earlier this year to wide praise including The Fader, which premiered the collection saying, “Spanning five tracks, it fits in somewhere between James Blake and Sam Smith and plays like the sonic equivalent of leaning into an extant bruise—but he promises it's not meant to hurt, at least not too much.”

Counting heavyweights such as Sam Smith and Katy Perry among his most ardent supporters, Garrett has shared the stage with with James Vincent McMorrow, Emily King, Norah Jones, and Maps & Atlases, performed at festivals such as Bonnarro, Electric Forest, and Montreal Jazz, and charted on Spotifyʼs Viral 50 list. And he’s only just begun…
