Bio

Electric Youth is a Canadian synthpop duo from Toronto, Ontario. The duo consists of Bronwyn Griffin (vocals, songwriter) and Austin Garrick (producer, songwriter, synthesizer, drums).

Life & Career

Electric Youth had their initial breakthrough in 2011 when their song 'A Real Hero', created in association with College, was prominently featured in the movie Drive. The song was written by Garrick, in part about Chesley Sullenberger and the crash landing of Flight 1549. Spin magazine named 'A Real Hero' one of the 20 Best Songs of 2011 and the song also got a nomination for the 2012 MTV Movie Award in the category of 'Best Music'. Electric Youth signed with Last Gang Records and Secretly Canadian at the end of 2013. The band released their debut album 'Innerworld' through Last Gang Records in Canada and the rest of the world, debuting at #13 on the Billboard Top Dance Electronic Albums chart. 'Innerworld,' produced by the band, included previously released tracks and gained broad critical acclaim including NME and NPR First Listen in 2014. In 2019, Electric Youth released their second studio album, 'Memory Emotion,' which won the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year.
