Gregory Stewart

Gregory Stewart, Jr., became a music enthusiastic at an early age. As a child prodigy, Gregory was exposed to and shaped by diverse types of musical genres that have continued to establish his career in the entertainment industry. He continued to nurture his musical talents throughout his high school and college experiences. Gregory’s talent inspired him to live abroad in Osaka, Japan where he completed a two-year foreign entertainment contractual agreement with Universal Studios. While also in Japan, Gregory produced multiple independent musical performances that featured in night clubs and other entertainment settings. Since returning to Chicago, Gregory has begun to establish his roots as a professional entertainer performing at various venues throughout the Chicagoland area. He has established himself as a cross cultural entertainer that appeals to a wide range of audiences with his renditions of historical artists that have made indelible marks in the music industry.

Gregory currently performs as the lead singer with two (2) well-known bands - Maggie Speaks, who is internationally known to perform high quality, experienced, and customized musical entertainment to private and public events since 1998; and Funktastic Productions, which is a Chicago band that sets the standard for “Luxury” entertainment for any occasion. Gregory has also performed at different philanthropic events designed to fundraise for various causes. Gregory plans to expand his talents with Stewart Music Emporium, Inc. (SME), as the owner, talent, and musical director. He desires to share his experiences in the industry to help other musicians and entertainers develop their crafts. SME will be a retail and service venture on the south side of Chicago designed to provide state- of-the-art studio, recording, and control rooms equipped with modern instruments and equipment to accommodate bands and/or music groups for practice, rehearsals,recordings, and live performances. In addition, SME plans to sale and rent musical instruments and equipment for the purpose of partnering with musicians to provide music lessons on various instruments for children and adults. Currently there are no other retail/service music providers of this kind on the south side of Chicago.
