If you are still looking for this answer I have found it here:

 <h2>Index</h2>
@{
    var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model,
        defaultSort: "id",
        rowsPerPage:10);    
}
<p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<div id="grid">
    @grid.GetHtml(columns: grid.Columns(
                    grid.Column("id", "ID"),
                    grid.Column("title", "Title"),
                    grid.Column("artist", "Artist")));
</div>

Hope this helps!
