"If a feeling sticks around long enough for me to feel like I have to talk about it then i'm going to make a song about it, and if that's a song that helps people then that's the goal. I just want to help people with how they feel," says artist Garrett Nash aka gnash, who became a global sensation with his multi-platinum hit "i hate u, i love u (feat. olivia o'brien)" this past year.

In the documentary homegrown, we head to gnash's home that he shares with his family in Los Angeles for a close glimpse into his personal life and what motivates him to create his emotional music. Released just ahead of his upcoming world tour in March, the short film includes commentary from gnash's friends and collaborators, Grammy-nominated record producer Cisco Adler, and family who speak about gnash's sudden rise to fame after graduating high school, connecting to emotions through music, and the importance of home, family, and open, sincere communication. In the doc, gnash performs his track "home" and speaks about the financial hardship that ultimately led to gnash buying the family home from his parents. Check out the official music video for "home (feat. johnny yukon)" here.

"A lot of the things that normal kids kind of go through emotionally I don't know if I really like went through because I was always down to talk about how I felt cause I was raised that way," says gnash. "Home was always the place where we went to heal and to communicate."

This March, gnash will embark on "The Sleepover Tour," bringing his energetic live show to cities nationwide. The tour kicks off on March 31 in San Francisco and runs until May 9th at The Fonda in Los Angeles."The Sleepover Tour" will feature special guests Sweater Beats, Imad Royal, Wrenn, Goody Grace and Tulpa & Blankts, on select dates.
