Grentperez’s stage presence can be described as nothing other than palpable joy. Born Grant Perez, the Filipino-Australian has just rounded out the AUS/NZ leg of his international tour ‘Growing Up?’. After playing to sold-out crowds across the USA and UK, having just supported Rex Orange County on tour in September, AND recently collaborating with ARIA award-winning artists Lime Cordiale, Perez is an indie-pop force to be reckoned with. We caught him for his Sydney show at Liberty Hall to immerse ourselves into his nostalgic and reflective world. 

On the evening of Thursday, September 28th, the iconic Margaret Court Arena was set aglow by the infectious energy of Rex Orange County. Despite being unwell, Rex Orange County, also known as Alexander O'Connor, delivered a concert that was nothing short of fantastic. With an array of colourful lights, confetti, and an upbeat opening act by Grant Perez, this performance was a success that will be remembered by all who attended.
