BIO

 

Greg's written music for films that have screened at Sundance (above and beneath, dir. Rene Alberta), the American Film Institute (Neighbors, dir. Rachel Goldberg), won first prize in Ridley Scott’s Parallel Lines Film Festival (Porcelain Unicorn, dir. Keegan Wilcox), and aired on Showtime (Chicago Overcoat, dir. Brian Caunter).

 

Greg's television work includes additional music for Smallville, The Vampire Diaries, and Video Game High School, as well as video games such as Kinect Disney Adventures and Star Wars: First Assault. Greg will begrudgingly write the occasional commercial jingle, and his resume includes such heavy hitters as Microsoft, Old Navy, and Best Buy.

 

Originally from New England, Greg's musical education includes an apprenticeship with composer and record producer Brian Keane (The Chieftains). Later, while living in New York, Greg worked as an assistant producer at Motherwest Studios with bands such as The Magnetic Fields. He was one of the last students of Academy Award nominee Buddy Baker (Disney's The Fox And The Hound), and holds a Bachelor of Music (BM) in Composition from the University Of Michigan.

 

A multi-instrumentalist, Greg occasionally makes it out of the studio to perform. He recently wrapped a series of live theremin performances in a science fiction re-envisioning of Much Ado About Nothing in The Hollywood Fringe Festival, and has performed with bands such as Killsonic and Mucca Pazza.
