The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from  their live performances.  The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound.  As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.  

Together/Apart concludes three years of self-discovery that has ultimately lead to Grieves' most emotionally charged and daring album to date.

Born In Vancouver Washington 1984. Sertifyde (C. Dougie Wyman) Grew up listening to a variety of genres of rock, classic rock, country, and pop music. It was at the age of 13 when his love for Hip Hop, R&B and Rap really blossomed. Listening to artists such as Warren G, Tupac, Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony, Dr. Dre, Too $hort, and various other artists, Sertifyde began to draw into the Hip Hop culture. Growing up without a strong male role model and being a product of the welfare and low-income suburbs of Vancouver, the need to express himself was evident. 

It wasn't until the age of 17 that Sertifyde first started writing rhymes and raps. Having had a pretty articulate vocabulary and excelling in writing and certain English classes, he would attempt to mimic the lyrical styles of rappers such as T.I. and Ludacris. Influenced by his roots in his Christian faith, when Sertifyde began recording songs he wavered between secular and religious lyrical content. 

Having not recorded any new content in nearly a decade, Sertifyde is currently searching for his outlet to be back in the studio and writing more Christ centered lyrics and will be releasing new songs as soon as he is financially secured and finds a solid production engineer and producer. Thank you all for your support and for listening. Stay Tuned!
