ABOUT GREG: 

A musician since his teenage years in Upstate New York, Greg began his career in Los Angeles, CA as a staff recording engineer at the world-renowned Record Plant Studios, where he learned the art of production under such industry legends as Don Was, David Foster, Jim Scott and Al Schmitt. In 1998 Greg moved to Ocean Way Studios where he took over the engineer's seat to complete the recording of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Rick Rubin-produced landmark album, Californication. Further engineering work for Rubin soon followed with System Of A Down’s Toxicity and Steal This Album.

While honing his engineering skills, Greg cut his musical teeth sitting-in with multi-instrumentalist wünderkind Jon Brion at his fabled Friday night residency shows at the legendary Largo nightclub, playing bass with such featured artists as Colin Hay, Aimee Mann, Glen Tilbrook (of Squeeze), Elliot Smith, Michael Penn, and many others. The production of Brion’s own masterpiece album, Meaningless, featured Greg’s engineering, mixing, and bass guitar work along with session icons Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Greg Liesz. 

In 2001, Greg was tapped by UK producer Nellee Hooper to engineer tracks for No Doubt’s Rock Steady album which yielded several hit songs including “Hella Good”, a track whose signature dry, punchy drum sound has made it a touchstone reference for both recording and live sound engineers. Work with Hooper continued on a string of highly successful albums, including two Gwen Stefani solo records, (L.A.M.B, and Sweet Escape, to which Greg also contributed bass and guitar) and culminating with U2’s How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, which earned Greg his first Grammy Award as mix engineer on the chart-topping songs “City Of Blinding Lights” and “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own”. 

Greg’s prolific association with Gwen Stefani also led to his teaming up with producers Andre 3000 ("Bubble Pop Electric") and Dr. Dre (“If I Were A Rich Girl”). 

By the mid 2000's Greg was an in-demand engineer and mixer of recordings by The Eels, Matchbox Twenty, The Dixie Chicks, Meat Loaf, Rob Thomas, Courtney Love, Jewel, & Santana. Evolving into the role of producer, Greg also helmed albums by Tracy Bonham, Catherine Wheel's Rob Dickinson, Break & Repair Method, and The Push Stars. 

In 2006 Greg kicked-off an American instutution when he produced and mixed the very first version of NBC's Sunday Night Football theme, "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night" sung by Pink. That same year Greg took over the former location of Casey Kasem's Studios, establishing a creative home-base to produce and develop new and independent artists including Meiko, Cary Brothers, Greg Laswell, Ingrid Michaelson, and Girl In A Coma. 

In 2008 Greg co-produced, engineered, and mixed the first new album in over a decade from hard rock legends, KISS. The album, Sonic Boom debuted at #2 on the Billboard album chart and was widely heralded by critics and fans as a return to the sound and spirit of the bands 1970’s heyday. Greg’s ongoing association with KISS has been highly prolific, yielding a follow-up studio album (Monster),a chart-topping Japanese single, “Samurai Son” (co-written by Greg & Paul Stanley) a live album and concert film (KISS Rocks Vegas) and a VR concert recorded at London’s 02 Arena, among many other projects.

Greg also traveled to Japan in 2008 to produce the No-Doubt influenced, all-girl group, Oreskaband, returning to produce a follow-up album in 2009.

In 2010 Greg began the new decade by recording the #1 hit “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees, and working on new albums by No Doubt (Push & Shove) and the Eels. Greg also collaborated with two top EDM artists. With Tiësto, Greg co-produced and mixed several tracks for his collaboration album (Kaleidoscope) and contributed production and guitar on two tracks of BT's These Hopeful Machines.

Further highlights from this period include engineering and mixing film and TV scores with pop-genius composer Michael Penn, and co-producing the song "Halleluja I'm A Bum" a duet featuring Michael and Aimee Mann for the musician's charity, Sweet Relief.

In 2013, Greg broke new career ground by composing the score for an animated feature called Scooby-Do & KISS: A Rock And Roll Mystery. Further scoring work followed, including a series of documentary/comedy concert specials for Comedy Central featuring the “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross. Greg also engineered the score for the DreamWorks Animation feature film Turbo that same year. 

In 2015, Greg produced and mixed what was billed as the "final" live album and concert-film for Mötley Crüe. The End, Live In Los Angeles was recorded over three nights at LA’s Staples Center. Greg provided the theatrical surround mix of the film and also composed the score for the film’s extensive documentary scenes and an original song (“The End Of It All”) featured during the end-credit sequence. 

In 2016 Greg was tapped by Tom Morello and co. to work with a new collaboration between members of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress hill called Prophets Of Rage. Greg toured with Prophets Of Rage, recording tracks for their debut EP and mixing their live sound in stadiums and arenas around the world. In 2017, Greg also mixed what would sadly turn out to be the final concert by the band Audioslave. 

Greg's experience mixing film scores, orchestral recordings, and large scale live concerts had him well prepared to handle his next project. The highly ambitious Game Of Thrones Live Concert Experience was a massive, in-the round presentation of the epic musical score from the wildly popular HBO series. Featuring an 80-piece orchestra, pyrotechnics, and one of the world’s largest video display arrays, it proved to be an astounding feast for the eyes and ears of Game Of Thrones fans. In addition to handling the audio mix, Greg also contributed sound design to the larger-that-life spectacle.

Two more world tours with Prophets Of Rage took Greg to South America, Europe, and Japan in 2018.

In 2019 Greg returned to the studio to co-produce, engineer and mix the album "Now & Then" by Paul Stanley’s Soul Station, a Motown & classic soul-inspired project that features the iconic singer's take on classic hits and original songs in the style of 60’s and 70’s soul.
