    Artist History
    Started performing professionally at the age of 15. Wrote his first song at the age of 14 and performed solo and with various bands around his hometown as well as on the road for a number of years before finally deciding to make the move to Music City USA. He moved to Nashville in 1999 from Aiken, SC and has never looked back. Although his dream is to one day secure that ever elusive recording contract, Greg also enjoys writing songs for himself as well as other up and coming artists and just recently has started writing with other writers. He is currently seeking a publishing or staffwriting deal and admits that in todays country format, it often helps to get your foot in the door as a new artist if you can obtain a major artist cut. So with that in mind Greg is concentrating on perfecting his writing abilities every chance he gets and he often can be seen throughout Nashville performing at different clubs around town solo and with his band, Southern Justice.
