Honolulu-based artist @wearegraves was pretty much born a musical legend. He got his start engineering multiple albums for Kanye, securing a Grammy for his work on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and winning EDC's Discovery Project. From such a meteoric rise, graves broke off from "douchey" EDM in 2016 to pave a lane all his own, and he did it with the finesse and prowess of a seasoned musical veteran.
