Fitz, frontman of chart-topping indie soul-pop group Fitz and The Tantrums, reveals how Jeff Buckley’s iconic album Grace set him on his journey to finding his authentic voice as an artist and inspired a whole new approach to singing, songwriting, and performance.
Fitz and The Tantrums is an indie pop/soul band known for their energetic performances and catchy hits like “HandClap” and “Out of My League.” With a career spanning over 15 years and a reputation for blending throwback influences with a modern edge, the band continues to evolve with each release.
Grace, Jeff Buckley’s only complete studio album, was released in 1994 and is recognized as one of the most influential albums of the ’90s. Featuring Buckley’s haunting vocals and masterful songwriting, it spawned the now-iconic cover of “Hallelujah.” The album’s lasting impact is felt across indie, rock, and pop music worldwide.
