Viewer Discretion Advised: Greg Lato

posted in: Features • Pop

Artists wear many hats here on OurStage. From singing to songwriting to performing to producing…the list goes on and on. Often times, artists are so good at multi-taking it can make our heads spin. It’s not easy to be a Jack of all trades, and artists often take many detours on the way to the finished product. OurStage artist Greg Lato started writing melodies at the tender age of 7 and went on to release his first EP to rave reviews which was followed by college tours, record store signings and television and radio appearances. But as to be expected with our musical magicians, his career took a detour.

Greg began writing for other artists and his time was consumed with traveling across the country. He decided to get back on track and record Monday Morning Breakdown, an album chock full of influences including late ’70s/early ’80s tunes and modern pop.

But despite all the writing, singing and recording, its his “acting” chops in the music video for “Monday Morning Breakdown” that makes us think he should to head to Hollywood next. The video (directed by Ryan Gibeau for Rock It Films) is cheeky and charming, and leaves us all longing for 5:00 PM. And while we can’t put our finger on exactly what it is, there’s just something about it that makes us think he could be a bit of Michael Bublé in training. Check it out below.
