He is best known as the lead keyboardist, producer, and composer of the electronic music duo Goldfrapp. Early life Gregory was born in Bristol, the son of an actress and an opera chorus-line singer. "I got into music kind of by default as it was the only thing I was good at – I was the weird one at school who practiced the piano during lunch break. In my teens I met other musicians and was so relieved to find some like-minds that I think I never wanted to leave the 'weird' muso club – perhaps it’s the same for many musicians. I ended up playing oboe and then moved on to sax, which got me into diverse musical disciplines." He studied Western orchestral and chamber music at the University of York. Career In the 1980s, Gregory predominantly recorded and toured with Tears for Fears. In the 1990s, Gregory performed with artists including Peter Gabriel, the Cure, and Portishead, as w ...
