Hollywood CONGRATULATIONS ! ! ! ! ! !

Have you ever worked and worked and worked on something you love and not seen any results - or at least just a little? Did you give up and say, "Oh what the heck!" and then go on to something else? That's okay - most people do! However, I know someone who seems to defy the odds - gets knocked down and gets back up time and time again! This person doesn't seem to acknowledge the meaning of "NO!" This person was once told (actually time and time again) that he didn't know 'how' to work and was lazy! This person continued to work and progress despite all odds. How do you come from a small town in Idaho and make a mark in Hollywood? Not possible! Ohhhhhhh, yes it is - and this person is making his mark and that would be Griffin.

Hollywood Undead is not a rock group for everyone, admittedly - but, there are plenty of people who made it rise to the TOP on the Billboard Charts! To clarify: Griffin produced, engineered and wrote (6) songs on Hollywood Undead's newest album, "American Tragedy".

Grif's MOTTO:

"It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN!"

#2 on the ROCK CHARTS

(click charts for a closer look)


SWEET . . .
*****#1 on the HARD ROCK Albums*****


#2 on the Digital Albums


#4 on the Billboard 200

Word got around on FACEBOOK as well - here are Griffin's brothers and sisters bragging about (Grif) and some responses taken directly from their FACEBOOK wall:

And LAST but NOT LEAST - the same month all the BILLBOARD-stuff was happening, Grif was SIGNED by EMI Publishing, a huge PUBLISHING COMPANY. They will work closely with each other to make sure there will be more work than ever! This signing, in and of itself, has been a bright moment in Grif's career. It's only going to get better from here. "No, this guy doesn't know how to take "NO" for an answer!"

SPECIAL NOTE:

AS I WRITE THIS a big SURPRISE PARTY has just been sprung (such a word?) for Griffin in Hollywood - all those who know him and work with him are joining in celebration with Katrina and Grif somewhere in Hollywood OR Beverly Hills to celebrate his great success. Just received a text from him (9:29 pm) saying, "Holy crap ! ! ! ! ! I'm blown away! Katrina got some of the most important people in LA (with the craziest schedules ever) to come out ! ! ! ! ! Amazing ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

"Congratulations Griffin - wish we could

be there to join in the fun and celebration. What an

amazing accomplishment you have achieved

(understatement of the year, I'm sure)!"

With all our love and respect for a job well-done,

Mom & Dad
