Grand Resort is the creative endeavor of 21-year-old Andrés Pichardo. A native of the Dominican Republic, Pichardo moved from his hometown of La Romana to Boston, MA in 2009 to study recording at the New England Institute of Art. Before graduating, Pichardo spent his final months in Boston locked away in his room, pouring all his energy into the creation of what would come to be known as Grand Resort.
 
In February of 2012, Andrés moved to New York City and quickly built a reputation among the Brooklyn music scene. After a summer of local shows at DIY mainstays like 285 Kent and Glasslands, Grand Resort earned their name as one of Brooklyn’s most exciting new artists.
 
Grand Resort self released their debut EP, Vanguard Dreams, in 2012. Mastered by Josh Bonati (The Men, Widowspeak, Zola Jesus), the nine-song EP went on to earn Pichardo praise well beyond his NYC digs. Vanguard Dreams was followed up by a 5 song EP, Memory Loss, released on August 6th 2013.

Songwriter, producer, keyboard player, programmer, and all-around musically restless guy.

Yasser Tejeda is an award-winning Dominican composer, guitarist, vocalist, and producer. According to Billboard, Yasser is giving traditional folkloric music a new spin with jazz, rock and Caribbean rhythms in "a frenzied celebration of ancestral union" while Juan Luis Guerra, the most influential Dominican artist in the world, praised his mission calling it the "marvelous example of what's happening with Dominican music.” Yasser’s hope is to incite an awakening so new generations will be inspired to explore, promote and uplift their afro-Dominican roots as well. 

Tejeda has released two commercial albums, Kijombo (2019) and Mezclansa (2009), with his group Palotré. Mezclansa was dubbed one of the “100 essential recordings of Dominican music” by the Dominican National Association of Art Writers (Acroarte) and his second album Kijombo received six awards from Dominican Republic's Premios Indie, including Best Album.
He also released his first solo acoustic EP called Interior (2021) and just finished his third studio album which features his new single “Tú Ere’ Bonita” and it’s scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023.
