About Me

"Its not often an indie artist can share the stage with the majors and outshine them. Greg is one of the rare artist who out shines them all!"

- Emmit Martin - All About Music, TV & Film, Nashville, TN
"Greg is an incredible talent. One of the best young artists I've heard. His style and voice are unique and inspiring."

- Kevin Edelman - Music Supervisor, Metalman Music, INC., Los Angeles, CA
"Greg Sczebel is just one of those artists with "It". He's got that X-factor, that undefinable thing that you need to be successful in this business."

- Paul Brandt - Country Recording Artist
If you have been waiting for a sound that is innovative and eclectic (its soulful it's jazzy...it's bluesy...its funky), yet savvy enough to ride the waves of popular radio, look no further. Greg Sczebel is a dynamic artist in touch with modern culture and carrying a message that is impacting those who encounter it.
He has been recognized for his outstanding talent as an artist, having been honored with many remarkable opportunities and awards. He has shared the stage with a variety of the entertainment industries top performers, including Grammy Award-Winning Producer David Foster, jazz crooner Michael Buble, 6-time Juno Award Winner Colin James and many more including, Casting Crowns, Jars of Clay, Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer), Out of Eden and Paul Brandt.
The end of 2004 brought Sczebel a Canadian Urban Music Award nomination, four CGMA (Covenant Award) nominations, and ultimately two CGMA awards (Male Vocalist of the Year and Rap/Hip-Hop/Dance Song of the Year), as well as an Okanagan Musician Award for Gospel Artist of the Year for the second year in a row.
In 2005 Sczebel's career continued to gain momentum by picking up a JUNO AWARD (Canadas Grammy) for his debut album Here to Stay in the category of Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year. Shortly after, Sczebel was nominated for a grand total of five Shai (shay) Awards (Canadas Gospel Music Peoples Choice Awards) ultimately taking home 3 of these - Pop/Contemporary Album, Urban/Soul Album and Song of the Year for his single In the Pocket. In addition, Sczebel was a grand prizewinner in the international 2004 John Lennon Songwriting Competition, for his title track, Here to Stay and more recently was a finalist in the R & B category for the 2005 John Lennon Songwriting Competition for his song Youve Got It.
At the close of 2005 Greg was also privileged to sign exclusive endorsement deals with both Audix Microphones and Yamaha USA Pianos & Keyboards.
And this is just the beginning of what is quickly becoming a well-established music career. But in spite of the acclaim, Sczebel still finds the most value in the personal connection between music fans and his songs. "To be validated by the awards and opportunities is always encouraging. The most exciting thing though, is hearing that my music is connecting with people. If I can continue creating music that impacts those who listen to it, I'd love to still be doing this 40 years from now." If the present is any indication to the future, Greg Sczebel is well on his way to reaching his goal.
