Who is Greggy Westside?

An artist and businessman based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Greggy Westside has been one of the figure heads of creating a culture of inclusiveness within Cleveland’s music scene.
Greggy started out as a recording artist in 2016, after a commitment of studio recording and promotional campaigns on social media, he started to create a local buzz and attracting an audience. This allowed him the opportunity to perform a substantial number of concerts with artists such as Juice WRLD, Ski Mask the Slump God, Lupe Fiasco, Bone Thugs & Harmony, PNB Rock, Shy Glizzy, Chip Tha Ripper, Nebu Kiniza, and plenty more. This allowed him to get an understanding of the music business and he started hosting his own events and managing artists, such as YSN Flow & Forever Johnson, while still creating and releasing music in the process. Greggy Westside has released 2 bodies of work to the major streaming services, as well as 4 more to SoundCloud. He has also released 7 singles to all streaming services.

In 2020 Greggy started attending Kent State University, soon after he started his own podcast with Black Squirrel Radio which lasted for a semester. Once the pandemic slowed down in 2021, Greggy started performing on shows again, then once the rest of the artists he knew were ready to perform he started throwing concerts and events again. This sparked the inspiration for him to open his own business where he would throw events and manage artists.

In January of 2022 Greggy officially opened Westside Productions and signed Isaiah Linder and Joshua Kristian to management deals. In March of 2022, Greggy closed a deal to open the Westside Productions Studio. He and the Westside Productions team built the inside of the studio and opened on May 15th, 2022.
