Harry Gregg
Harry Gregg grew up in a family where music was important. His dad taught him at a young age that the tiny pocket that goes unused in most people’s jeans is meant for guitar picks, and that he should always keep his “pick pocket” well stocked. And he still does to this day. Thus, Harry always knew he would make a life for himself in music, and he left few nooks and crannies unexplored in his search for his particular niche – through his childhood and youth he played violin, piano, bass, clarinet, guitar, and trombone, as well as doing plenty of singing in choirs and musicals.
Nothing quite stuck, however, until a Eureka moment a few years ago when Harry realized his future lay instead in capturing the magic of music, at which point he dropped all of his money and then some on recording gear and founded his own company, Big Dreamer Sound. Since 2011, he has produced more than thirty full-length records and recorded and mixed many more albums and singles for artists in variety of genres, and as a producer he considers it paramount to capture each artist’s individual character. Harry began a new chapter when he joined forces with Scott Franchuk of Riverdale Recorders in 2014, and perhaps ironically, he is now busier than ever as a musician, playing bass with the Kimberley MacGregor Band, Mohsin Zaman, the Dylan Farrell Band, Cadence and Nathan, and more.
