About Me


I’m a singer/songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist from Trenton, New Jersey.
King of Anything represents a two-year effort exploring a new approach to my songwriting. I composed most of the music on acoustic guitar, rather than my usual method of composing on piano. I think it brought a fresh sound and a more organic feel to the songs. As usual, I had some help from guitarist Mike Z., who added some rhythm tracks and a couple of awesome solos, plus his creative and technical guidance and the occasional guitar lesson were invaluable toward completion of the album.
This album is a lot more experimental than my previous one, Find My Way, which had more of a classic rock feel. The songs on King of Anything are harder to nail down to a specific style, with a mix of influences from pop, folk, indie, rock, psychedelic, funk, metal and soul - often within the same song. Plus, I’ve worked on expanding my vocal style, using a multi-layered approach to achieve a fuller sound.
Emotionally, this album finds me at a transitional point in my life, with the highs and lows of a new relationship struggling to survive, while also exploring themes such as materialism, intimacy, trust, growing older and spirituality. This album was a real journey for me on many levels. I hope it is an engaging experience for you as well.

I'm also a huge fan of Star Wars, Prince and The Beatles.
Peace, Greg Chiaramonti
