Born and raised in Paris, Gregory Ogouz - aka Monsieur GREG – defines the meaning of versatility. Beginning in the world of plastic arts, he then went on to learning how to play a wide array of traditional and ethnic instruments such as violin, keys, drums, bass, Kora, talking drum, etc. A true music lover, he draws his inspiration from a slew of musical genres and artists: jazz, from Sarah Vaughan to Herbie Hancock; reggae, from Israel Vibration to Capleton; electronic music, from Derrick May to Matthew Herbert; hip-hop, from De La Soul to Dizzee Rascal. As the West London sound swept thru the streets of Paris a few years back, Monsieur GREG had finally discovered a genre of music where he can fully hone in on his skills in producing truly versatile music.
