A Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles, Ontario native Greg Wells has worked with an entire spectrum of artists from Katy Perry to Ozzy Osbourne. Wells grew up playing drums and piano from 3 years old and eventually studyied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. He got the bug for record production after working on Canadian music icon Kim Mitchell's Rockland record, and traveled to Los Angeles at the age of 21 to study with Prince's string arranger, Claire Fischer, and pianist Terry Trotter. Wells began producing song demos for several L.A. songwriters, and joined k. d. lang's band for the "Ingenue" tour.
A few years later, Wells found himself writing with Carole King and Mark Hudson on a song called "The Reason." Recorded by Celine Dion and produced
by Sir George Martin, it became a huge hit with the CD selling 31 million worldwide, and Wells' songwriting credits have continued to build exponentially
since. In his amazing career so far, Wells has worked with some of the biggest names in music such as Timbaland, OneRepublic, Pink, Rufus Wainwright, k. d. lang, Natasha Bedingfield, The Pussycat Dolls, Aerosmith, Elton John and Ahmet Ertegun.
