Song:Electric Love
Album:Dopamine
Garrett Borns started BORNS as a home studio project. But he got a major label deal and the 2015 single Electric Love was a surprise hit. I would classify his music as a mix of electro pop, neo psychedelia with glam rock overtones. He was born Jan. 7, 1992 in Muskegon, MI and he grew up in Grand Haven. As a child, he performed as Garrett the Great professional magician. He won a Gold Key Award and a scholarship from the National Scholastic Art Awards. This was for his artwork. He studied music at Grand Rapids Community College and Muskegon Community College. He formed The Garrett Borns Trio in 2012 and released an EP on a local label. Borns moved to Los Angeles and the 2014 EP Candy got him a record deal with Geffen Interscope. The 2014 EP Candy was released. This is when he started calling himself BORNS. He made several TV appearances and performed at music festivals. Electric Love was released as a single May 2015. It reached #6 on the Alternative Rock chart. It was certified Platinum. The album Dopamine was released Nov. 2015. It was certified Gold. Borns writes and produces all his music with Tommy English. His 2018 album Blue Madonna didn't do as well as the first album. I don't think BORNS is a mainstream artist anyway. But he should do well enough to continue recording for Interscope. Here's the video for Electric Love by BORNS.
