When Greg Walton was in 5th grade he begged his parents to buy him a guitar so he could imitate the art of such musical influences as The Beatles, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac and others. He was a quick study, but soon found that his real passion for music came from the progressive ministry that was coming from his church. His participation in the junior youth choir and his deep reflection on the Bible prompted his interest in music evangelization and a stronger commitment to his faith. Greg Walton continues to remain steadfast in his dedication to ministry and has never given up on his pursuit of excellence in his music. Ministry based performance opportunities throughout his career have taken him all over the United States, Canada and Europe. He has performed at hundreds of youth rallies, LIFETEEN events, dozens of festivals and evangelical events, and some of the world’s largest ecumenical gatherings including World Youth Day, Creation Festival, NCYC, Kingdom Bound and others. Greg has shared the stage with celebrated artists including PolarBoy, Ceili Rain, DC Talk, Newsboys and others. His music has been distributed by Troubadour for the Lord, Spring Arbor Music, HeartBeat Distribution, and SpiritandSong Records/OCP. His 2008 radio single, TUNE OF IGNORANCE spent over 25 weeks on the CRW radio charts, and was recognized with 5 Unity Awards including Song of the Year. The release of this single ultimately led him to a partnership with Catholic Relief Services, and their Foodfast Social Action Program. Greg Walton has an impressive track record for an independent artist, but first and foremost he is a dedicated husband, father, youth leader, music minister, and keynote speaker. In 2011, in cooperation with SpiritandSong.com/OCP (Matt Maher, Sarah Hart, Tom Booth), Greg Walton is back with a joyful Advent/Christmas song titled COME TO US. The song, produced by award recipient Jeff Thomas (Matt Maher-Empty & Beautiful), is lyrically crafted to celebrate the anticipation and glory surrounding the birth of our Savior, our Lord of light.
