"BØRNS" is the stage name of singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Michigan native Garrett Borns, Børns crafts big-hearted, alternately dreamy and danceable, falsetto-driven, electro-pop confections that have been dusted with glam rock and folk. "Raised in the Great Lakes coastal town of Grand Haven, Michigan, Børns studied music at the Interlochen Center for the Arts and Grand Rapids Community College, and became a fixture on the local music scene. After a brief stint in New York City, Børns decided to relocate to Los Angeles, where he set up shop in a self-described "treetop sanctuary" just outside of the city, and began honing what would eventually become his debut EP, the Interscope-issued Candy. Built around the dizzying and syrupy sweet single "10'000 Emerald Pools," After a year of touring, most notably with Bleachers and Charli XCX, Børns released his debut LP, Dopamine, on Interscope".
