Artist History Greg first started playing music at the age of 4, in which time he was only playing percussion and singing. But by the age of 8, he was experimenting on the piano, which soon lead him to start writing music. By 10 years old, his growing desire inspired him to start learning guitar and bass. As his life became more and more engrossed by music and lessons, he soon built up a library of original music. But he first started seriously developing his trade during his teenage years singing and playing drums, keyboard and guitar in various house bands around his home town. In September, 1984, A month after turning 18, he attended Dean Jr. College where he majored in music and communications. There he began seriously developing his voice while continuing to play and improve his skills in percussion, piano, guitar, bass and music composition. During that time, he also started delving into recording his music. When he transferred to Emerson College in Boston, MA., one year later, he unexpectedly found his love for musical theatre, which then made him realize where he needed to focus his energies. There he majored in voice, acting and performing arts. But at the same time, he continued studying music at Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA, not very far from Emerson's campus. In 1989, he graduated from Emerson with a 'Bachelor of Fine Arts' degree. It was there where he composed 3 original musical scores, in which one awarded him the '1989 National Collegiate Award for Music' upon graduation. After college, he toured with various musicals out of Boston and then, in 1993, New York City playing such roles as Cliff in "Cabaret", Tony in "West Side Story" and Danny in "Grease!". 2 years later, he became a Guest Entertainer for Princess Cruises, which eventually lead him to move to London, England in 1998. Greg is currently living in London working in television, film and musical theatre. At present, he is being looked at by various UK recording labels.
