Grier White, born in 2002, like in that song, 'The Summer Of ‘69', and raised in the southwest of Scotland in a little town called Stranraer, which is closer to Belfast than any major city in Scotland. Anyway, the geography lesson over. He attended primary & secondary school in the town before traveling to Ayr to study Media Production & Analysis at Ayrshire College, shout out to Richie & John!
Following that, he moved over next door to the University Of The West Of Scotland to continue his studies with Broadcast Production: TV & Radio, which he graduated from in 2022 with a Bachelor Of Arts. Fancy!
Away from education, Grier has worked as an entertainer with a local award-winning entertainment company. He has also been a retail assistant in a comic book cafe in his local town, frickin NERD! He now works at an undisclosed spectacle company, helping people to see, mainly so more people will be able to view his content.
Grier is also, of course, part of his local drama club which he adores. He joined Stranraer Drama Club in 2017 as a Junior Member and rose up the ranks to become a Junior Leader and Committee Member. He has also written and produced a few shows, including 2021’s Jack & The Beanstalk, and has appeared in many more.
At the tale end of 2023, Grier moved over the water, on a biggish boat, to Larne. Insert your Larne jokes here please and thanks. So now even closer to Belfast than before, Grier is working away on loads of stuff that you probably won't see for a long time cause he is a perfectionist and can never finish anything.
