He started his music career as a keyboarder and choir singer in the Cologne-Porz Rockband ” Fango Music “.
With this band he had his first studio experiences and live gigs.
Then he moved to Lille (Northern France) and began to get to know jazz. First through vocal jazz in several SATB vocal jazz groups accompanied by musicians.

Mr.GREGG can not hide that he is a big fan of Sting, Michael Mc Donald and especially Donald Fagen ( Steely Dan), his constant inspiration. He loves this kind of jazz tinged rock: Complex chord changes and a special attention to the backing vocals. He had the opportunity to hire Steely Dan drummer Keith Carlock for one song , and that was for UNDER SHABBY BRIDGE …. Also, one of the Danettes (BV ists with Steely Dan), I mean: La Tanya Hall, sings on another song: INDIAN SUMMER.
