California native Gregg De Lorto, the great grandson of two Italian-born musicians and old world violin makers, began playing the guitar when he was nine. Supported by family and taught by friends, he was first influenced by surf music, The Ventures, The Beatles, and other artists and styles of the sixties.
He showcased his talent performing at schools and local venues, all the while increasing his musical range and evolving as a promising musician. By 14, he was playing professionally, and then joined the popular ABC Paramount recording group The Spats . His focus unexpectedly turned to jazz when he first heard Wes Montgomery’s “Bump’n On Sunset.”
In 1969, Gregg began attending church, where he met the woman who would eventually inspire the music he writes and sings today. Sharon and Gregg became friends although they had separate paths to follow, they never forgot each other. Sharon recognized even then that Gregg was a phenomenal musician and she became a fan.
