History- Chinelo and Mira met through a mutual friend. They were actually set up on a blind date that ended up being one of the worst dates either of them had ever been on. They ended up becoming friends though even though the date had gone so miserably. It wasn't until after they had both graduated from college that they decided to try it again. This date went much better and they ended up dating for the next year. On their one year anniversary, Chinelo proposed to Mira and she gladly accepted. They were married and Mira became pregnant shortly afterwards. Grant was born nine months later.
Chinelo began introducing Grant to music from the start. He would often play his bass to help Grant get to sleep as a baby. When Grant was 6, his dad decided he was finally old enough to start teaching him how to play the bass. Grant struggled with it at first, but never gave up. When he was in 4th grade, Grant joined the school orchestra and learned how to play the violin. He had always loved the way the violin sounded so he was thrilled to be playing one. However because he was spending so much time with the violin, he stopped playing the bass much to his father's dismay.
Grant played the violin all throughout junior high, but gave it up when he got to high school. He wanted to spend his time hanging out with his friends instead of always having to practice or be at rehearsal. He ended up teaching himself how to play the guitar and drums in his spare time though. Grant ended up graduating from high school with honors. He spent his next four years in college getting a degree in music education.
Last year, he was a camp counselor at Camp Twilight for the first time. He had been attending the camp for years and he had been really looking forward to being a counselor. He became friends with Shayndel who was another counselor at the time. The two of them became pretty good friends that summer. Grant had so much fun that he decided to be a counselor again this summer. He has just recently graduated from college and is looking forward to returning to Camp Twilight. He is happy that he can put off finding an actual job until after the summer and that he has one more summer to enjoy.
