Next, Kroll produced a demo tape, which found its way into the hands of Gary Burke whose credits included stints with The Joe Jackson Band and Bob Dylan. Burke called Kroll and not only agreed to drum on Kroll's first record, but offered to produce it as well. Kroll's lifelong dream of being a singer/song-writer was now a reality. Greg's debut album, "Two Sides", (Pmfile Records) teamed him not only with Gary Burke but with Graham Maby, also of the Joe Jackson Band. The album garnered him major critical acclaim and Kroll was given the moniker of "engaging new artist with musical depth, and unstoppable momentum." Kroll had continued success with his sophomore release, "Wheels Of Desire," on (Chameleon/Capitol) which paved the way for more music and his current release of "Living On Ritalin" (EKG) which once again reunited him with Gary Burke as co-producer. Greg Kroll will be blazing the radio-trail again with his new album "Living on Ritalin" featuring the smash 60's hit Psychotic Reaction. This rousing and energetic release features a jazzy mix of mainstream rock with a smoky atmosphere of lyrics. A listen to the music makes it apparent this is some of Greg Kroll's most brilliant work to date and assures that Kroll is an artist we can continue to expect great things from in the future. |

Born
in Elizabeth Port, New Jersey, Greg Kroll has been making music
since age twelve. As a young teenager, Greg was in an automobile
accident that forced him to spend a lot of time resting at home
listening incessantly to Elvis and James Brown while honing his
guitar skills. By age 14, Kroll was a lead guitarist for a local
band (Heet's On) and by age 16, the William Morris Agency was booking
Kroll's band into local clubs. The band played cover tunes as well
as original Kroll compositions. Kroll's big inspiration came when
he was brought together with Bo Gentry and Richie Cordell. This
would shape the music and lyrics Kroll would produce for years to
come.
