GREGNWMN

GREGNWMN, born Gregory Newman, is a first-generation Jamaican-American recording artist and songwriter who began solidifying his innovative approach to music through his nomadic upbringing. Stemming from early exposure to Soca, Calypso and Reggae throughout his childhood, these influences enabled GREGNWMN to form the baseline of what would frame his vocal and performative expression within music, as well as creating art that inspires movement.

With the release of his breakout single 'BLACKOUT' in 2016, GREGNWMN secured press placements with Mass Appeal and Huffington Post. Building additional momentum, his second single 'FORECAST' was released in late 2017, accompanied with a video premiere with ELEVATORMAG in 2018. Through his commanding performative presence, he continued to build rapport well into 2019 and beyond supporting live acts such as Mick Jenkins, Joey Purp, Carter Ace, and more recently, opening for D Smoke at The Observatory as well as Latashá at SXSW
2022.

Beginning the rollout of 'BREAK THE CLOUDS', GREGNWMN released 'STAY DOWN' - one of his most critically acclaimed records to date, paired with an exhilarating and fast-paced visual to set expectations of what's to come. Preceded with a string of stand-out singles, 'SOLAR FLARE' marks GREGNWMN's most streamed track to date.

From evolving through self-doubt to healing through self-discipline, GREGNWMN takes listeners on a journey of understanding the power of ownership, loss and resilience on his debut EP. 'BREAK THE CLOUDS' shapes the narrative of "how we weather the most unexpected storms in life. Re-establishing the meaning of growth through adaptation, patience and trust when faced with these unexpected challenges". To reaffirm the narrative from alternative perspectives, GREGNWMN invites fellow LA natives Carter Ace, ICECOLDBISHOP and JAHMED to brandish some of their most razor sharp and fiery bars to date, along with introspective narration from Lady Zay and Daylyt.
Confidence and conviction hold the same value throughout the 12-track soundscape, introducing full-circle moments and vulnerability. Critical of not only society as a whole, but his space within it, 'BREAK THE CLOUDS' lives as a coming-to-power story framed around the idea of what can happen when potential meets timing.
Clocking in at a total run time of 30 minutes, GREGNWMN effortlessly flaunts his distinct vocal cadence and dynamic storytelling, backed with a vivid array of production and infectious hooks. The world's been pretty unpredictable lately, but one thing that remains a constant is GREGNWMN's artful consistency, with each new release commanding his position as one-to-watch in the current landscape of Hip-Hop.
