Musician and interdisciplinary artist Greg Osei has always found himself breaking down barriers, between people, between concepts, between genres, and between creative media. He is known for his soulful vocals, healing performances, breathtaking visuals, and multi-genre music with Afrocosmopolitan flair.
In the face of the uncertainty of the 2020 pandemic, Greg was inspired to write and produce music that encouraged dance and movement, celebrated love and connection, and engendered community. The result was love alive, a concept album about choosing love in spite of immense fear, particularly on the margins of society. Rooted in r&b/soul, the project reflects Greg’s expansive musical influences like dancehall, afropop, house, synth funk, dance pop, and gospel. Drawing on his own experiences, reflections, and social justice convictions, Greg crafted an album that was both personal and universal, profound and just plain fun.
