Greg & Steve

American musical duo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greg & Steve are a musical duo based in Los Angeles, California. The duo, composed of Greg Scelsa (born October 29, 1947) and Steve Millang (born May 10, 1947), has been performing and recording children's music since 1975. Scelsa and Millang both perform as vocalists and guitarists.[1] They have recorded 23 albums, a music video compilation, and a live concert DVD.[2] Greg & Steve are marketed toward children from preschool age through primary school and have sold more than 10 million albums,[3] making them the best-selling children's music duo in the United States.[4] They also have a rigorous concert schedule, playing an average of 100 shows per year.[1] They have even performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall.[5]

Scelsa and Millang, who have known each other since high school, moved from their hometown of Newport Beach, California to Los Angeles to "be closer to the music business" in 1968. They took jobs as special education assistants, and soon started performing music for the children, many of whom had emotional or behavioral problems.[6] Scelsa and Millang found that their music had a positive effect on children with disorders such as autism. For the next several years, they performed their music program for different schools.[5] In 1975, Scelsa and Millang decided to form a record company, Youngheart Records, and presented a recording of their music to National Association for the Education of Young Children convention attendees. After receiving a positive reaction at the conference, Scelsa and Millang formed "Greg & Steve" and began selling their recordings in the educational market.[1]

In 1991, Scelsa and Millang sold the majority interest of Youngheart Records to Creative Teaching Press and have expanded into internet and retail sales.[1] The expansion allowed them to begin selling their music in larger markets such as retailers Barnes & Noble,[5] and allowed them to focus on their music rather than on business tasks. As of 2002, Greg & Steve have received nine Parents' Choice Awards.[7] In 2010, their album Jumpin' and Jammin was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Album for Children.[8]
