Greg Jong

about

In the depths of suburban Los Angeles there lives a youngish Englishman with the confusingly semi-Dutch moniker Greg Jong. He has previously attempted musical glory with such groups as the deeply proggy band Pure Reason Revolution, and the emphatically poppy ensemble The Procession. Following these stints in such diverse musical surroundings, Greg is setting about creating his own personal music mongrel. While trying not to entirely confound listeners, he puts in as many musical influences as he can think of at the time of writing. Other influences tend to sneak in uninvited, nonetheless they’re very welcome to stay. Armed with a love of Pink Floyd, Supertramp, E.L.O., the Beatles, Tom Petty, the Dandy Warhols, Fleetwood Mac, Kula Shaker and even (possibly embarrassingly) Third Eye Blind, Greg is aiming to encapsulate way too much genre, style and substance in his music. Whether he in any way succeeds is open to opinion, and whether anyone really wants to listen to prog-pop influenced tunes is undecided. But Greg plans to make as many attempts as needed to create his desired blend of melody, sophistication and flair.
