Mayan Warrior is the result of a collaborative project that has united artists, craftsmen, photographers, designers, technologists, architects and musicians from Mexico City and Northern California. 

The project’s original intent was to present to the world the incredible ascent of contemporary Mexican electronic music while paying respect to the deep and ancient sources from which that visual and auditory culture had grown.


Both light and sound are curated by some of the world’s most prominent artists to transport participants to the very origins of the culture – and to a new understanding of contemporary electronic expression.

AND YES: Mayan Warrior is driven from Mexico City to the playa – and back – each year. It's a labor of love and we're glad so many people enjoy it.

Grant was born in Carmel, California, the son of an architect from Berkeley and a country girl from the oil fields around Bakersfield.  

He picked up an acoustic guitar at age 11, expanded to the electric guitar in high school, took many drama classes while at University of California, Berkeley and was a performing singer/songwriter at numerous coffee houses in the SF Bay Area before moving his family to the small town of Bishop, CA in the Eastern Sierra where he performed in various community theater productions.  He also performed his original music as part of a multimedia production called “Impressions of Pakistan” held at the Pegasus Gallery in Bishop.

In 2018, Grant’s song “Moment in Time” was featured during the end credits of an award-winning documentary film called “Sunblock” that chronicled one family’s quest to experience totality together in Oregon in 2017.

Grant is a three-time winner of the “best song” award given by the Northern California Songwriter’s Association (NCSA) and was a featured tenor in the Foothill College Chamber Singers. Since 1997 he has released three independently produced CDs of his original songs (www.grantbentley.com
