Geordie Greep

Geordie Greep is a London-born songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist whose singular vision has made him one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music. Rising first as the frontman and primary vocalist of black midi, Greep became known for his idiosyncratic guitar work, theatrical delivery, and the band's genre-bending approach that quickly earned international acclaim. With black midi, he helped spearhead a new wave of adventurous rock, bringing jazz, prog, noise, and classical influences into a frenetic and unmistakable sound. Following his time with black midi, Greep began releasing music under his own name, carving out a style that is equally ambitious yet more direct in its intimacy. His 2024 debut solo album The New Sound showcased his range as a songwriter, balancing angular guitar passages and eccentric arrangements with moments of clarity and warmth. The record introduced listeners to a different side of his artistry—playful, intricate, and emotionally resonant in ways distinct from his earlier work. Beyond the studio, Greep has demonstrated his magnetic presence as a performer. His Live at TV Eye set captured the intensity and eccentricity of his music in its rawest form, displaying his ability to command the stage with both virtuosity and unflinching originality. Singles like I Love My Family / Aching Knees further cemented his growing reputation, pairing off-kilter lyricism with inventive instrumentation that keeps audiences both surprised and engaged. From his underground rise with black midi to his bold solo output, Geordie Greep has built a reputation as an artist unwilling to compromise, continuously reinventing himself while maintaining a signature sound. His work pushes boundaries but never loses its humanity, marking him as a vital creative force shaping the future of experimental music.
