Patrick Grant is a Detroit-born American composer living and working in New York City. His works are a synthesis of classical, popular, and world musical styles that have discovered spots in concert halls, film, theater, dance, and visual media more than three landmasses.
In 1997, he made his first CD, called “Fields Amaze”. Experiencing issues finding a name, he decided to form his own and put it out himself under the name of Strange Music (not to be mistaken for Strange Music Inc., a hip-hop label established by Tech N9ne.)
To promote the CD, Grant declared on different music newsgroups that August 24 (his then-girlfriend’s dad’s birthday) was Strange Music Day. By 2002, different venues had recreated it until in 2012 when the first Strange Music Performance Soiree was held. He welcomed artists to perform music they’re not as a rule related to and to investigate awkward places.
He picked August 24 as the day since it was the birthday of his then-girlfriend’s dad who was a coach to Grant of sorts. As a few years passed, he began seeing that individuals were getting on Strange Music Day as a real holiday. When the holiday got well known in Europe, Grant changed the name to International Strange Music Day.
