Chrysalis

The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.

John Grant is an American singer-songwriter, born on July 25, 1968 in Buchanan, Michigan. He gained recognition as a member of the Denver-based alternative rock band The Czars during the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2010, he embarked on a successful solo career. Notably, Grant relocated to Iceland in 2013 and was granted Icelandic citizenship in 2022.

With his unique blend of alternative rock and introspective lyrics, John Grant has captivated audiences worldwide. His time with The Czars laid the foundation for his solo success, allowing him to explore his own musical identity. Since going solo, Grant has released several critically acclaimed albums that showcase his distinctive voice and songwriting talent.

Inspired by his move to Iceland, Grant's music took on new dimensions as he embraced the country's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. This transformative experience deeply influenced his sound and lyrical themes. By immersing himself in Icelandic society, Grant was able to connect with a global audience through universal emotions expressed in his music.
