Greg Lassalle

Greg Lassalle uses the entire  universe as his canvas. He borrows liberally from jazz, rhythm and blues, classical,  salsa, African and Brazilian idioms, blending them with his own Caribbean spice to  concoct a personal gumbo of “World” music.  

 Lassalle started his musical journey very early. 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 piano player at one of  Trinidad’s premier recording studios, trading licks with and learning from the  country’s top veterans. 

 An accomplished singer/songwriter and producer, Greg has three and a half years  of formal training in arranging and composition at 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”.  

 Greg has toured Asia and the Middle East as a bandleader and musical director for  El-live Productions from 2005 to 2020. Today, he runs G-Lab Music, an online music  production and publishing 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.
