With his endearing smile and generous baritone voice,
Gregory Porter effortlessly wins over audiences everywhere. Although he attended university on a football scholarship and at one time worked as a chef, luckily for us Porter decided to make use of his singing talent fulltime. His first two albums both earned him Grammy nominations, but it was his third, 2013’s
Liquid Spirit, which really got him the success he deserves – as well as his first Grammy! He received another one for its successor, 2016’s
Take Me To The Alley. Listing Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers and Nat King Cole as his biggest influences, Porter dedicated his 2017 album
Nat King Cole & Me to the songs of the latter. Most recently he released
Still Rising (2021), with new songs, covers, duets, and a selection of his much-loved favorites.
