Goody Grace
Dec 6, 2019
Canadian musician-producer Goody Grace recently teamed up with Blink-182 for the eagerly-awaited new single, "Scumbag" now available via Atlantic Records. The new single pairs clean guitar and a signature Travis Barker drum beat as Goody trades vocals with Mark Hoppus over production from multi-platinum production duo The Futuristics (Lil Wayne, Halsey, G-Eazy). "Scumbag" is joined by an official companion video starring Goody, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker. A lifelong Blink-182 fan, this dream collaboration came to be after Goody joined Blink for handful of dates on their summer tour and Las Vegas residency, providing guest vocals for their song, "Adam's Song." It was after these performances that he left with a renewed perspective.
"Blink-182 is the reason I started playing guitar when I was a kid. Their music helped me through my entire childhood & teenage years and I couldn't be more honored to have them on a song of mine," says Goody, "Travis Barker reached out to me last Fall to open for Blink in Las Vegas and we've became great friends since then. I hope 'Scumbag' can be the anthem for people's lives such as Blink's entire discography is for me."
Since moving to Los Angeles in 2014 at just 17, Goody Grace went from couch surfing to headlining sold out gigs. In 2015, he put out his first single “Memories.” The song went on to receive a high-profile remix featuring A$AP Ant and Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood as Goody embarked on the “Park Tour” with gnash, performing in public parks for free up and down the West Coast. Throughout 2016 and 2017, he toured around the globe alongside Hoodie Allen and LANY. Becoming a live force, he performed at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Firefly. Simultaneously, his independent anthem “Two Shots” was catching fire. It set the stage for him to uncover music at a prolific pace ignited by his 2018 Atlantic Records debut EP, “Infinite.” In its wake, he headlined shows throughout North America before unveiling the mini-EP, “19/6.”
