My name is Grant Geertsma. I live on the top of Queen Anne hill in downtown Seattle, WA with three other guys in a tiny two bedroom apartment. Good ol' housing prices. When i wake up, I walk to class and when its sunny i see the city with Mount Rainier towering behind it. I write songs for fun and sometimes to wrap my head around something that happened to me. I was born in Washington, then moved to northwest Iowa when i was two weeks old. I lived there until i was 11, and then the family moved to Holland, MI. I decided to go to Seattle Pacific University, and I am sophomore there. Hopefully you like the songs.
