About Me
Greg has always been driven by music. He began singing at church at the age of 4, earned TX All-State Choir all 3 years through high school, and continued his education at Texas Tech working with Grammy Award winner Karl Dent. Greg has performed professionally in rock, pop, music theater, and even opera! Greg's band has performed on the Ernie Ball tour and has been featured on several video games and x-game videos. Greg's favorite thing about music is it's a language that everyone can "speak" and more importantly FEEL. His favorite thing about teaching music is showing a student that through music we can make others FEEL. Greg has worked with successful artists such as: Kasey Musgraves (Grammy award winner), Taylor Gayle (lead singer of GAYLE), Jim Heath (Rev Horton Heat), Zach Herron (Why Don't We), Trevor Douglas (TRVR?), to name a few. When taking lessons with Greg you can expect to master all aspects of singing and address what improvements should be made in a 100% honest and open environment. He looks forward to getting to know you as a student and learning about your specific goals, interests, and learning style. Book a lesson now and get connected right away!

Review:

"hands down the best voice coach"

I have had all 3 of my kids/teenagers work with Greg. They all agree he is hands down the best voice coach they have ever had. And from my perspective as the mom, I saw their greatest development as vocalists and artists under his instruction! Dr. Stacey Hail-Dallas, TX Greg McKinney wrote on Tue, 18 Oct 2022

    Greg is awesome!

    Greg taught voice lessons to my daughter for 2 years atyrs of age. He is phenomenal at being able to break down songs visually as well as vocally it is pretty impressive to hear his range. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her lessons with Greg. She showed a ton of improvement with him, and you could tell which other students had him as a teacher by the way their voices also improved. Greg also has great values which is so appreciated. Heather Thomas wrote on Wed, 09 Nov 2022
