Gregg Kofi Brown is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is a long term member of the pioneering African funk rock - fusion band Osibisa. He was brought up around music and sang in church choirs and various functions during his youth. In his teens, he picked up both the electric guitar and bass. While performing in London, Gregg was approached, and asked to join the band Osibisa, as their bass player. When they noticed Greggs vocal prowess, they immediately promoted him to lead singer. Gregg has performed all over the world in major festivals and fine music venues. Gregg has performed or recorded with artists with the likes of: Joe Cocker, India Irie, Eric Burdon, Lauryn Hill, Billy Cobham, and many others. Gregg has also excelled in the theater as an actor/singer, appearing in many productions in London's West end theaters. A new anthology CD of Greggs music has just been released titled "Rock 'n' Roll and UFOs? as well as an autobiography on his creative life. I recently asked Gregg some questions on his productive career.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
