About Greg

Greg Walker is a pianist and percussionist from Oak Island, NC. He is the Director of Music at Ocean View United Methodist Church. In addition to performing live with the church choirs and praise bands, he enjoys writing and arranging music. Greg studied classical piano from ages 7-15, and at that point dropped the piano to concentrate on drums and percussion. He played in school band and drum set for various rock bands and religious groups. He also was a drummer for the WV State College jazz band during his senior year of High School. Greg then attended college at Indiana University where he majored in percussion performance. After college and some stints with Rock and Jazz bands, he eventually ended up in Oak Island, NC in the winter of 1988. Almost immediately he was asked to play piano for the Oak Island Presbyterian Church where he remained for about 2 years. He found that his piano skills came back very quickly, and the constant performing associated with church work brought his playing to a higher level than before. Greg then began playing at Ocean View United Methodist Church in 1994, where he is now their full-time Director of Music. He still plays drums for Ocean View’s contemporary praise band but mainly concentrates on the piano. He has recorded five albums, the latest having been released in 2015. Nowadays, instead of CDs, he works at composing piano solos to be released on popular streaming platforms and arranging music for use in church services. To hear his music you can check out his podcast where Greg releases new recordings every week. He has another page at Bandcamp where you can listen to and purchase digital downloads of his music.
