Greg Lassalle

Greg Lassalle is a composer, songwriter, producer, mix engineer, and multi-instrumentalist. Like the Carnival of his native Trinidad and Tobago, he uses the entire universe as his canvas. He borrows liberally from Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Classical, Latin and African idioms, blending them with his own Caribbean spice to concoct his personal gumbo of World music.
He started his musical journey at a very early age. At six, he encountered his first piano, and the fire was ignited. Several years and instruments later, Greg started his first band at age twelve. By sixteen, he was the house pianist at one of Trinidad’s premier recording studios, trading licks with and learning from some of the country's top veterans.
Greg has three and a half years of formal training in arranging and composition at Boston's Berklee College Of Music. Lola Falana, Connie Francis, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pee Wee Herman, the Phenix Horns from Earth, Wind and Fire, Bill Champlin and Jason Scheff of supergroup Chicago make up a partial list of people Lassalle has performed and recorded with. Greg has also arranged and performed music for "Solid Gold" for American television, as well as feature films "Savage Streets" and "Police Academy IV".
For the past decade, Greg has toured Asia and the Middle East as a bandleader and musical director for El- live Productions, in addition to overseeing audio and video recording and production. Today, he runs G-Lab Music, an online music production company, and has an ongoing affiliation with Ana Marie Records, a Brazilian record label through whom he has released twelve albums as a World/Ambient music recording artist.
