SOME KIND WORDS FROM COLLEAGUES
"I could spend 100 words using hyperbole but instead I'll cut straight to the chase:
Greg is a champion for independent artists and nothing short of a perfect professional. Treating both newcomes and top dogs alike. His execution of tasks and attention to detail can not be faulted.
I discovered him about 7 years ago and he's been brilliant to work with since. He is deserving of every opportunity that may come his way.
I'll happily stake my name on Greg and his brilliance."
Mike Rack - Band Leader : The Dutty MoonShine Big Band.
Live with Dutty Moonshine Big
Band at Shindig 2023
"Greg is one of the best UK Soul Vocalists around, supreme talent in abundance."
Mark Rae - Producer : Rae & Christian.
"At a time in British Soul Music where the male voice has to dumb down for what the market thinks it needs, a voice like Greg Blackman’s is a true treasure. He has the true grit of a man who knows and feels what he’s singing about and the tone to effortlessly get into your head and heart."
John Turrell - Vocalist : Smoove & Turrell.
"Mr GB lights up everything around him with his gifted voice and wonderful presence. I know; I have seen it and I have felt it. This is what music is all about."
