Horse

A free-spirited musical pioneer who blazed his own trail

Eddy Grant is the embodiment of proud independence — he built his own recording studio in Barbados, founded his own label, and refused to be constrained by the music industry establishment, recording and producing entirely on his own terms. His energetic, upbeat style and global restlessness (moving from London to Barbados, touring the world) reflect the horse's love of freedom and open spaces. Like the horse, he performs best when given full autonomy, and his spirited, rhythmically driven music — from 'Electric Avenue' to 'Gimme Hope Jo'anna' — carries the natural grace and momentum that defines this animal.
