Lori Greco is an Independent Artist, a singer and songwriter who was born in Vico Equense, a little
town just out of Naples in Italy. At the age of 3, Lori moved to Australia with her
family and now resides in Perth, on the West Coast of Australia.
Lori was introduced to the piano at the young age of seven and took piano lessons
in classical music while her parents often played orchestral music and Neapolitan
songs in the background. She also loved listening to music on the radio and idolized
the women with huge voices like Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Oleta Adams
and Celine Dion, adored the harmonies of The Eagles and The Carpenters, and
was highly influenced by the piano playing and songs of Sir Elton John.
With all these incredible influences, her music has sometimes been defined as
complex but Artichix Magazine has described Lori as "One of The Best Kept Secret in Music"
Her Music is an adult contemporary blend of piano based songs of pop, country,
orchestral and jazz. Her voice is smooth, soft and sensuous but at the same time
she can deliver a powerful and emotive lyric.
With a major in piano studies, Lori studied at University and gained two Degrees,
in Music and Education. To supplement her studies, she began performing in
piano bars and restaurants where she developed a regular fan base supporting
her gigs. She also was appointed as the Musical Director for many musicals, all
by the age of 21, for which she received glowing reviews.
From that point forward, Loris passion for performing grew and as did her
ambition. She appeared on several television variety and talent shows, was a
guest performer on morning TV chat shows and a finalist in "The Australian
Singing Competition." She was also a regular performer at the Crown Casino
and The Sheraton Hotel and joined a Motown Showband, which continually
sold out to Perth audiences.
In 2006 she recorded her first song "Australia." A patriotic song, highlighting
the love for her home country. “Australia” was immediately embraced by
the local radio stations and this led to many performances at Tourism Award
Ceremonies and Australia Day concerts. Lori has made guest appearances on
radio and television, culminating in live performances of the song on ABC
Radio and to an audience of over 30,000 people in the port city of Fremantle in
Perth, on Australia Day, January 26 in 2007 and 2008.
The success of "Australia" led to her writing a full length album in 2007 called
“WAITING” which showcases her powerful and emotive voice. From pop to
country, rhythm and blues to jazz, her debut album of twelve original tracks
was released and is available at all leading digital
download stores.
The personal success of "WAITING" led to Lori wanting to record a new album. In
August 2009, through a crowd funding campaign at www.sellaband.com, 412 music
loving fans invested in her music to help realise her next goal. Lori became the 34th
artist to raise $50,000 towards the recording of her next album.
In September of 2009, Lori was invited to Sardinia, Italy as a guest of 3J Production to perform and promote her album and in 2010, Lori returned to Italy for a Sardinian Tour. She recalls the performance at a Gala Dinner for Telethon to raise funds for research against muscular dystrophy as being the most memorable. All proceeds of the evening and sales of her CDs were donated entirely to Telethon.
In September 2012, was honoured by being the first and only contestant from Australia to compete in the "Festival of Italian Song" in New York. Singing an original song in Italian, Lori was thrilled with coming third. Once again, on September 22nd of this year, Lori was invited to sing in The Festival in New York to perform another new song called "SOLITUDINE" which she plans to record and later release next year.
