Take 5 with RUNAGROUND: Miami Music Week 2017

Runaground exploded seemingly out of nowhere this past year.  Robbins Entertainment found “Chase You Down” on tyDI’s Soundcloud and believed in the record.  A few months later it was on top of the dance radio chart.

Even his name has a special meaning.  His grandfather was in the army fighting in World War II when his ship “ran aground” on the Philippine islands.  The mishap saved his life as they probably wouldn’t have survived the battle they were heading into.  He takes the message to heart that when something goes drastically off course, there is often a reason why.  Hence his name -meaning a change in path that ultimately led to his success and happiness.
