"With acrobatic splendor, Stereotonic breaks, beats and bounces, and evolves with fluid waves of multicolored pastiches. Intelligent, musical, strong, and ethereal in the same sentence. Great stuff!"

Bio
Composer Will Grega works in a variety of styles with a strong sense personal vision that blends Pop, Ambient, Lounge, World Fusion, Hip Hop, Classical, and vocal accents into unique works of wonder. His music has been commissioned for use in multimedia events, clubs, television programs (BBC, ESPN), and motion pictures. Will says: "Electronica is the new rock and roll. Electronic music re-creates every genre of traditional music, and creates new genres with no limits, no borders, and an open palette of the imagination. It is an evolving reinvention of sound."
Will Grega produced his first fully packaged CD in the womb, and was born with it (fully shrink- wrapped we might add). In the 80's he first teamed with Randy Jones to produce a rap/electronica hybrid called "Terrorist Attack!" that hit big in Europe. Grega's recording "Crashing Paradise" in the late 80's put rock drums behind New Age themes. Another first! He has penned music for films as well as BBC television productions. The 21st century saw Will re-team with Jones to create yet another genre: SciFi Electronica, for the audacious camp classic "Imagining Mandolins." Will can be seen as well as heard (as soundtrack producer) in the film "Three Long Years." Will coined the term "Urban Exotica" in 2003.
Will is also an OMA Award Winner for Outstanding Electronica Recording of 2003 for Stereotonic.
