GREG OSGOOD - Brief Biography
SINGER, SONGWRITER, MUSICIAN, PRODUCER, RECORDING ARTIST
I was born Gregory Dwayne Osgood on August 11, 1964 in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, a small town just south of Mississippi''s capital, Jackson. As a creative teenager, I was left with few other ways to express myself, so I would sing secretly to my girlfriend, and occasionally to friends, and family.
I took the first years of music classes during junior high and high school while participating in the shcool band from 1976 - 1980. I graduated in 1982 and immediately enlisted in the United States Marine Corps so I could "travel the world", as it were. And I did! I was hooked, my life changed forever. I bought my first electronic keyboard in Okinawa, Japan and toured with an island band called "Purple Haze". We performed on the islands of Thailand, Taiwan, Tokyo and Filipines. I served my four years and returned to the U.S. to pursue music some more.
I recorded my first radio hit "Back To Back" in April, 2002, but now, I have quite a few finished pieces.
Over the years I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with some great entertainers, some popular and some not-so-popular. Some of these include: The Chilites, The Delfonics, Bloodstone, O.B. Buchanan, Rick Lawson, Tina Diamond (Avanti Records), Sweet Miss Coffee (Marti Gras Records), Billy "Soul" Bonds (Avanti Records), Melvin "Housecat" Kendricks (toured w/Bobby Rush); Clay Hamil, Floyd Taylor (Malaco Records), Kenny Wayne, T.K. Soul, Pat Brown, Henry Rhodes & Mo'' Money Band, "Lightning" Tom Warren (who played on Lost Lonely Boys Award Winning Album), King Edward, J.T. Watkins, Jimmy Henderson (of Black Oak Arkansas), Robert "Juice" Lenoir (Heart & Soul Records), Mister Bee (BUMA Productions), Jesse Robinson and Vasti Jackson, to name a few.
Though my music is often categorized under "Blues", I write only what speaks to me on some personal level. I don''t try to target any one specific style, although from time to time I may experiment with a certain genre. In trying to classify or describe my own music, I''ve found that, like good friends, I know each song so well that I can no longer pass judgment on them. I let my listeners make their own observations.--
If you think its blues, we''ll call it that! If you say its R&B, then that''s alright with me! Whatever the case. When you''re listening to "WALKING ON THE BACKSTREET", you know you''re listening to Greg Osgood.!
