Greg Laswell

39 year old Indie/Folk rock singer/songwriter Greg Laswell has been in the industry since 1998, not only as a multi-talented musician, but also as a recording engineer, and producer. He has released 5 studio albums to date, his latest being 'Landline', released early 2012.

The most interesting thing about his music is the way he manages to merge so many different genres and styles into all of his songs. Not one song sounds the same, and this is such a unique challenge, but he pulls it off remarkably well. He used to be a part of a very successful band, called 'Shillglen', and released one studio album with them. After that, he went solo, and hasn't looked back since.

The amount of television shows and movies that have used songs by him is astonishing, having songs featured on series such as House, Grey's Anatomy, Vampire Diaries and CSI but to name a few. This song of his has been featured on Danika, Numb3rs, Canterbury's Law, Grey's Anatomy, and CSI:

Accompanying his perfect voice, is a stream of incredibly talented musicians, with some of the best piano, and guitar work I have heard in a long time. What else is very clear is the attention to detail that went into the production of his songs. The best example of this is a song off his album 'Landline' titled 'Another Life to Lose'

He has also collaborated with a number of very well known artists on his latest album, such as Sia, Sara Bareilles, and Elizabeth Ziman. Collaborations don't often work out as well as these few have. It seems anything that Greg touches turns into gold.

It would be possible to write about Greg and his incredible music for hours, but i think his music speaks for itself.

I'll leave you with my favourite song off the album
