Info zu Reflect N Chill

Assembled by Producer Atron Gregory, Solo Piano Group presents a series of relaxing recordings by world renowned pianist and composers. The first set of releases from Solo Piano Group features pianist Glen Pearson, Derek McKinney and Janice Maxie Reid.

Launched in March 2020, the Northern California based SOLO PIANO GROUP presents a series of relaxing recordings by world renowned pianists and composers from across the globe. SOLO PIANO GROUP has released 2 full length albums, ‘Mellow Moods’ and ‘Reflect N Chill’ and a number of digital singles. Songs from SOLO PIANO GROUP are already featured on dozens of Spotify playlists, as well as international curated playlists and have found placement on the series “5th Ward”.

Atron Gregory has a diverse and extensive resume as a tour and artist manager, A&R executive and executive producer. From selling albums out of the back of his car with Kru’ Cut Records, to executive producing Stanley Clarke’s last two albums, ‘The Message’ (2018) and ‘Up’ (2014), 2020 marks the launch of Gregory’s latest project, SOLO PIANO GROUP.

Gregory was part of the growth of west coast Hip-Hop from both a business and creative perspective, ultimately founding TNT Recordings and Management known for Grammy nominated artist Tupac Shakur and the pivotal hip-hop group Digital Underground. Gregory also manages the catalogs of Johnny “Guitar” Watson and FGW Productions, a content creation company whose clients include Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount and Disney.

SOLO PIANO GROUP, on TNT Recordings, takes Gregory, in a totally new direction. “Music has always been a huge part of my life whether it was Hip-Hop, R&B, gospel or jazz,” stated Gregory. “I’ve been thinking about this music for quite some time and with all that is going on in the world today, I thought it was the perfect time to share it.” SOLO PIANO GROUP pulls together pianists to create original music, purposefully composed to give people an opportunity to “relax, meditate, take a deep breath and live in the moment as opposed to looking at the past and worrying about the future.”
