Here are three short paragraphs introducing the artist Gnash, focusing on his life, career, and quotes, with all key terms bolded as requested:

Gnash (real name Garrett Charles Nash) was born on June 16, 1993, in Los Angeles, California. Raised in a creative household—his father is a musician and his mother is a director/producer—he began his musical journey early, DJing high school parties at age 13 before transitioning to producing his own original songs and covers .

He burst onto the scene in 2015 with a trilogy of emotionally charged EPs—U, Me, and Us. The third EP, Us, featured the breakout single "i hate u, i love u" (featuring Olivia O’Brien), which famously reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbed to No. 1 in Australia . He later released his debut studio album, We, in 2019 .

Gnash’s creative philosophy shines through in his quotes—for instance: “My label, my genre, my everything is happy sad… it’s totally okay to be happy and sad at the same time.” He also reflects on his artistic intention with: “All I can hope for is songs that feel special and songs that make people feel.”
