“Sweet & Sour Sounds with Niran from Grizzabella”
Host: Graham Coath
Guest: Niran (Guitarist, Grizzabella)
This week on MyMusic, Graham is joined by Niran, guitarist, songwriter, and the driving force behind the rising alt-rock outfit Grizzabella – a band with a name inspired by Cats the Musical (yep, really) and a sound that blends the grizz of angsty metal with the bella of sweet melodies.
Niran brings his guitar into the studio and takes us behind the scenes of a band finally stepping into the spotlight after years of jamming, refining, and recording. In this refreshingly honest and grounded conversation, Niran shares:
🎵 The story behind Grizzabella and their theatrical name
🎸 Why they waited four years to release music – and why now is the time
🎤 What makes their dynamic work: a unique mix of session musicians and one brilliant, non-industry lead singer
📅 How real life – careers, fatherhood, full-time jobs – shapes (but doesn’t stop) their ambition
🧠 How they balance creative freedom, collaboration, and reality checks
🤘 Who they'd actually ditch everything to tour with (and no, it's not Coldplay – probably)
Plus, Graham and Niran dig into the challenges no one talks about: scheduling rehearsals, affording studio time, and knowing when to say, “Let’s do this for real.”
This episode is for the musicians juggling real life with big dreams — and for anyone who loves finding new music that sounds like something but not like everything else.
🎧 Stay to the end for Niran’s favourite chord, thoughts on ACDC’s production wizardry, and a genius idea for Amazon’s Christmas strategy that involves sleigh bells and shopping carts. You’re welcome, Bezos.
