About Gregory Porter
Singer-songwriter Gregory Porter grew up in Bakersfield, California, surrounded by gospel harmonies and his mother’s Nat King Cole records – influences that shaped his signature sound.
While studying on a football scholarship at San Diego State University, he began performing in local jazz clubs. Later, he moved to New York City to pursue music full-time.
His first two albums, Water (2010) and Be Good (2012), earned GRAMMY nominations. Then came Liquid Spirit (2013), a Blue Note Records release that became a global hit, sold over a million copies, and won his first GRAMMY Award.
In 2016, Take Me to the Alley brought him a second GRAMMY and established him as one of the most soulful jazz artists of his generation. Subsequent albums include the heartfelt Nat King Cole & Me (2017), the uplifting All Rise (2020), the compilation Still Rising (2021), and his first holiday album Christmas Wish (2023).
Beyond the stage, Porter hosts The Hang, a podcast featuring candid talks with friends and fellow musicians, and The PorterHouse, a cooking show that celebrates food, culture, and community.
