Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Sweden, GRAND is a beacon of excellence in the realm of AOR bands. In the fall of 2022, they made an explosive entrance onto the music scene with their eponymous debut album. The band is a powerhouse trio, led by the extraordinary vocal talents of Mattias Olofsson. The ensemble also features Jakob Svensson, a former member of Wigelius, who handles guitar, keyboards and production, alongside the versatile Anton Martinez Matz, on drums.
Influenced by legendary acts like Starship, Foreigner, Toto, GRAND’s debut album resonated profoundly with aficionados of classic Scandi-AOR. Marrying stunning production quality with layers of keyboards that elevate their power and melodic allure, GRAND is on the precipice of capturing the hearts of melodic rock enthusiasts across the globe.
Their latest opus, “Second To None,” infuses their signature sound with added depth and sophistication.

Lineup news! 🥁
It’s been a bit quiet around here lately — and here’s why.
After some open (and very friendly) band talks, we all agreed it was time for Anton to step away from the drums. Life’s a busy beast, and he felt he couldn’t give GRAND the time he wanted to — and we totally support that. No drama, just life doing its thing. 😅
Massive thanks to Anton for all the grooves, good times, and memories. You’ll always be part of the GRAND family.
We’ve already got a new drummer in place and some more lineup news. (👀 more on that soon), and we’re hard at work on album number three. It’s shaping up to be something really special — can’t wait to share more with you soon!
