Gregg Fox

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, the young Fox began playing piano at the age of five. A lifetime of playing music and sitting at the piano has allowed it to become second nature to him. He played piano and violin throughout his scholastic years which lead to learning guitar and bass. Soon after he began to write his own music. By the the time Gregg graduated High School he had performed for thousands of listeners and received numerous awards.

His early influences included The Beatles, Elton John and Led Zeppelin but it was when he first heard the music of Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Deep Purple that his passion for keyboards launched him on a musical journey in the tradition of the great rock and progressive rock keyboardists Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson and Jon Lord. That journey continues to this day.

In his early career Fox polished his skills and performance abilities in the Pacific Northwest among many of the musical elite of Seattle. As a driving force of such successful club and touring acts as Ictus, Metro and Radio City, during the 80’s and 90’s he played every venue and recorded tracks in every studio in Seattle while working in multiple original and touring projects simultaneously. This led to his being asked to join Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members from Heart, guitarist Roger Fisher and drummer Michael DeRosier, in the noted original Seattle band “10 Bulls”. He then joined with Queensryches fem-fatale Pamela Moore to form “Sister Mary”, produced and occasionally joined on stage by Hearts’ own guitarist Howard Leese.
