Graham Candy releases "Back Into It"

Graham Candy had no idea what awaited him when he boarded his Berlin-bound flight, leaving New Zealand behind him. The boy who skipped classes in school to play guitar and learn chords from his friends, wouldn’t have known that he would be chasing his dream as a man eleven time-zones away.

It's been almost two years since the 25-year-old musician was in Kreuzberg’s Riverside Studios recording “She Moves”. The song with Alle Farben reached gold status in Germany selling over 170,000 copies. Graham did a featuring with Parov Stelar on "The Sun" in 2014 and was invited by Robin Schulz to sing on "4 Life" from his album "Sugar". Charting all around Europe, the track’s success saw him performing to 2000-strong crowds, just months after playing acoustic gigs in tiny Auckland bars.

But there's no hint that he's let success change him: “You have to keep your feet on the ground,” says Candy, “otherwise you’re gonna fall over.” Now he has got the chance to show the world what s really inside him with his new single "Back Into It". This song was recorded with producer team (Feeling Valencia), whom also penned his critically acclaimed EP, "Holding Up Balloons" released in 2015 and streamed more than 8.2 million times on Spotify.

Dreams don’t work unless you’re willing to work for them first” he sings in “Back Into It”, an anthem about hard work from his debut album "Plan A" due to release on 6th May 2016. The song co-produced by Kenneth Harris, lead guitarist of Panic! At The Disco, shimmers with youthful energy and a gritty synthesizer staccato giving Candy a solid foundation to demonstrate his vocal range.
