Gregg Tillery is a by-product of a mother who is a doctor of audiology and a father who is obsessed with James Brown. That union 27 years later would lead to an album influenced by 60’s soul and 70’s funk.

The only boy in a family of 5 sisters, Gregg’s escape was Nintendo. But instead of the games themselves, Gregg was gripped by the tiny sounds of the electronic soundtracks, the first inspiration to his future path in music.

A multi-instrumentalist, Gregg is self-taught in guitar, banjo, drums, piano and almost everything that makes noise. It’s been a long road for Gregg, a Florida native, whose journey to his current home of LA is littered with hardships and challenges leading to an upcoming directorial documentary debut on drug addiction and homelessness. THIS PAIN IS A GIFT is slated to come out fall of 2009. One-on-one interviews in violent communities and an in-depth intimate look into life at rehab are just some of the things “This Pain is a Gift” touches upon.

Gregg is currently on tour to support “This Pain is a Gift” dropping in fall 2009. His latest well-received show included Googie’s Lounge, New York’s famed mecca for promising up-and-coming artists.
