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.

🔥 NEW MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT II🔥
Time to introduce our next reinforcement!
We’re beyond excited to welcome Maja Thorén to Grand on keyboards! 🎹
Maja is an incredibly talented musician and singer who has already left her mark on the upcoming album — delivering killer keys and stunning backing vocals that truly elevate the sound. We can’t wait for you to hear what she’s brought to the table.
To help you get to know her a little better, we also asked her a few questions.
First band you fell in love with:
My brother showed me Paramore while I was in middle school, and I was totally hooked!
First album you ever bought:
Kelly Clarkson’s ”Breakaway”
What made you pick up your instrument in the first place?
My grandparents had an acoustic piano at their house that was really captivating to me - it really drew me in for some reason. Later on, when I started learning the piano, I inherited this exact piano!
Biggest musical influences or heroes:
There are so many, but Stevie Wonder to choose one!
One song you wish you had written:
God’s of war by Def Leppard
One fun or weird fact about you that fans probably don’t know:
My first instrument was actually the recorder, which I played for almost 12 years!
