Info zu Piano and Rain

SOLO PIANO GROUP (SPG), assembled by producer Atron Gregory, presents PIANO AND RAIN. part of our ongoing series of relaxing recordings by world renowned pianists and composers. “We recognized a lack of diversity in mood music,” Gregory explains. “We hope these recordings, and recordings like these, will help provide music for relaxation that will appeal to all.” Expounding on the origins of this most recent “collaboration”, Gregory says “I was listening to SPG while going to sleep and as producer started I listen intently, so I decided to put my Rain app on. The songs were still playing with the rain sounds and it was so relaxing we decided to do a series of songs and remixes with both the rain and piano. Everytime I listen to it I get so relaxed I hope you do to.”

Gregory has a diverse and extensive resume as a tour and artist manager, A&R executive and executive producer of Stanley Clarke’s last two albums, ‘The Message’ (2018) and ‘Up’ (2014). He founded TNT Recordings and Management known for Grammy nominated artist Tupac Shakur and the pivotal hip-hop group Digital Underground. Gregory also manages the catalogs of Johnny “Guitar” Watson and FGW Productions, creating content for Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount and Disney. Gregory and TNT Recordings expand their reach with SPG.

Songs from SPG are already featured on dozens of Spotify playlists, as well as international curated playlists and have found placement on the series “5th Ward”, streaming on Amazon Prime. SPG will be featured on the series “A Hip-Hop Life” from the Vyre network, and has recently partnered with WNBA star Monique Billings.
