Gregoor van der Loo
Gregoor was born at 20-06-1975 in Roermond and grew up in a little village called Linne. When he was 18 years old he was kicked out of his father’s house and that is all he wants to say about that. But you can listen to the song "Childhood facade" and hear how he feels about that.
Gregoor always has been very fond of music. At the
age of six his weakness for the voice and music of Sting began, after hearing
"Walking on the moon" on the radio (not yet knowing who it was).
His first experience with making music was when he was eight years old.
He always has been interested in different styles of music, from metal to pop and drum ’n bass.
When he was seventeen years old he started singing in a band called "No Exit". This band started out playing covers from bands like "Fates Warning", Queensryche", "Psychotic Waltz" and also wrote a lot of their own music, varying from metal to spacerock.
In 1993, while still singing in "No Exit", he joined the band "Aura", better known now as "Lemur Voice". He also took a few singing lessons from an operasinger.
After "No Exit" split up, three other members started the band "Mushrooms". A few years later Gregoor joined them for a while playing synths!
His interest in analog synthesizers started when he first
heard the spacerock music of "Ozric Tentacles". This instrumental (English) band
is one of his
favorites.
His main influences for his singing were and still are:
Sting, John Arch, Simon le Bon and a lot of popmusic from the 80’s.
Currently Gregoor sings in a pop-band called "Fusily Jerry" with Nathan
v.d. Wouw on
drums and he still plays drums in a drum ‘n bassband.
He also sang at the first demo-CD for the project Sun
Caged which is currently a full time band.
At home he freaks out on his analog synthesizer.
