She said: "Becoming comfortable with being unique… I think that’s now something that I strive after in everything that I do,
"I never wanted to feel the same as everyone else. Every song I write and visual that I put out, I hope it stands on its own and is in its own lane."

"But no, I've been waiting to get things moving with my music for a while, so it was a no brainer to finish A levels and go straight into this.”
In 2020, she sang the soundtrack for Disney's Christmas advert.
Griff's music explores themes encompassing young love, mental health and family.
In 2021, she won the prestigious BRITs Rising Star award, beating Pa Salieu and Rina Sawyama.
