Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Grenville has been playing the
violin since the age of seven. His musical abilities have been nurtured
from a young age with continuous recitals and performances that have
resulted in his love for the stage and entertaining others. He comes
from a musical family, with his mother playing and teaching piano, his
father who sings, and two sisters who are professional pianists and
accompany Grenville regularly.
Grenville was classically trained under the Royal Conservatory of
Music, and was a member of the Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
While continuing his musical studies, he also earned an Honours Bachelor
of Commerce Degree from McMaster University. Growing up, Grenville was
an altar boy for 10 years and part of the disc jockey group, Dynamic
Tension. These experiences have contributed to Grenville’s sound
religious roots and his strong and diverse musical background.
Grenville now resides in Toronto and performs professionally across
North America for special events and concerts. His wide repertoire of
music, bubbling personality, and love for entertaining others, are just
a few reasons that make him a perfect addition to your special event!
