Behind Gwenshana is Brussels based writer and producer Mathieu Grillo. Today, he releases the title track of his debut EP Ego.

Mathieu is an introspective person, however his life has been dedicated to digging deep into the thoughts and feelings of others, writing and producing songs. “This EP has been in the making for 6 years, I’m both eager and patient when it comes to my own music. Writing for others comes naturally to me but I have a tendency to overthink everything when it comes to my own stuff. Lockdown gave me a chance to settle, I gave myself a goal to finish these songs and finally share my truth.”

Influenced by artists who have a clear evolution, encapsulating a sonic style and then moving on, Mathieu cites Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Oneothrix Point Never as inspiration, “I appreciate artists who innovate their sound but stay true to themselves”. Gwenshana’s roots are clear and it all centres around one word... truth.
