GRITSY // SOUTH3RN
In July of 2006, dubstep began to boom through the streets of downtown Houston, Texas courtesy of a unknownevent with a funny name. Now, over two years later, Gritsy has grown into one of the top dubstep parties of the South featuring the likes of Distance, Martyn, Caspa, Matty G, Joe Nice, Breakage, Moldy, Juju, 6Blocc, Mundo, Parson & more. By consistently pushing the ever evolving sounds of dubstep via Gritsy & as part of the Texas trio South3rn [alongside Product & Sines], Suraj has helped Houston, Texas make it's mark on stateside dubstep. From H-town to Chitown, it's time to get GRITSY!

Kam Franklin | Houston, TX
GRITSY
Kam refers to her sound as "experimental soul" because she not only strives to step out of the box, but she doesn't try to limit or fit into the mold that most others define as soul. In January 2008 she became affiliated with Gritsy, a dubstep crew in Houston that throws big dubstep/drum and bass events in the Houston area and hosts Dubstep DJs from all over the world. Soon after this, Kam started being regularly invited MC Dubstep events all around the country offering her freestyles where need be.When not performing her solo stuff or at dubstep shows, Kam is also a member of local Houston doowop group the Pearls,country group The Umbrella Man( with Billy Joe Shaver bassist Nick Gaitan).She also performs regularly with the afro-reggae group Free Radicals.Kam has previously shared the stage with Aloe Blacc,Mates of state,J-Davey,RX Bandits,Portugal the Man and many others.On any given day, you can catch Kam free styling over an afro/dubstep-beat with country lyrics, while singing over the track with a blues/gospel twang that will have you convinced it couldn't have sounded any other way. Kam is currently working on a country EP, a Dub EP, and her solo LP all to be released within the year.
