The soulful sound of Juno Award winner Greg Sczebel has been building a steady buzz in the undergrounds of the North American music scene.
With a music career that began at age 17, Greg has been recognized with numerous national awards, signed exclusive endorsement deals with Yamaha Keyboards USA and Audix Microphones, and has performed with some of the industry's top performers including Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster, Jazz crooner Michael Buble and Blues rocker Colin James.
In 2004, Greg's debut album "Here to Stay" was recognized with a Juno Award and made him a grand prize winner in the esteemed John Lennon International Songwriter Contest. "We really had no idea where the album would go," said Greg, "We just tried to make good music with the little we had to work with."
Proving that good music crosses genres, Greg brought the funk and stirred souls nationwide as a featured guest on CMT's Christmas special, "Paul Brandt's Christmas in Banff." In 2008 Greg reunited with Paul for the Atlantic leg of his "Risk" tour, where he performed nationwide with him as backup vocalist and keyboard player.
Following the success of his first independent release, Greg is ready to embark on another new chapter - preparing for the release of his sophomore album. "I wanted to find that balance of music that is current, but not necessarily trendy," said Greg, "Songs that are classic and timeless, the ones that will stick with you through life."
