Born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan, Gordy Garris took up music at an early age, singing and learning to play the guitar. As a teenager, Garris taught himself the piano and began writing songs in high school. Songwriting was always a great emotional reprieve for Garris, as he struggled to fit in with the crowd and find himself while growing up. From the age of 20 onward, he spent the better part of 7 years performing shows across the United States, while recording four alternative pop-rock studio albums.

2022 was a year of transformation for Garris, as both a Christian and as a music artist. Through a local ministry he rediscovered his faith, was baptized, and the Lord laid it on his heart to abandon making mainstream music and to start making music about his faith and give all the glory to God through the talents he was given.

In his fifth album, his first Christian music album, entitled "Go With God" he released the singles “Hot N' Ready” and “Complete” and in late 2024, he took on his first role leading worship at Faith Worship Center in Brighton, Michigan. 

Gordy continues to pursue Jesus daily through bible study, writing music, various worship roles where God calls him to serve, including his work in the medical field advocating for and caring for those with mental health needs, and playing with his bandmates whenever concert opportunities arise.
