All the way from New York, US, Gregory is easily identified by his signature cap and deep booming baritone. He previously performed in South Africa in 2014 and 2015 at the Joy of Jazz Festival, and he has a long association with the people of the country and the African continent.
Porter has taken the world by storm over the last decade, bringing jazz to the masses and receiving numerous accolades and recognitions.
His third album, Liquid Spirit, hit number two on the jazz charts and won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album. With over 20 million streams, it remains one of the most streamed jazz albums of all time.
