Greg Holden is a British singer-songwriter known for his powerful songwriting and meaningful lyrics. His career took off with the success of his song "The Lost Boy”, written about the book What Is The What? by American author Dave Eggers. “The Lost Boy" gained widespread US attention after being featured on the TV show Sons of Anarchy. The track also helped raise significant funds for the Red Cross and was a #1 song in The Netherlands during that time. Holden’s most notable achievement came with his co-writing of Phillip Phillips' hit single "Home", which became the best-selling American Idol coronation song of all time and earned multi-platinum status.

Over the years, he has released several albums, including I Don’t Believe You, the major label release Chase the Sun, featuring the songs “Boys in the Street”, labeled “A Perfect Song” by Actor Tom Hanks, and “Hold On Tight”, used extensively on commercials, films and TV shows.

All his albums reflect his socially conscious approach and his dedication to crafting authentic, resonant music. He has toured the world extensively and has shared the stage with prominent artists like Ingrid Michaelson, Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, Butch Walker and A Great Big World, building a loyal fanbase along the way. Greg has also written songs with/and for Kesha, Alec Benjamin, Calum Scott, Jukebox The Ghost, Blame My Youth, Tors, A Great Big World and many other successful bands and artists. Despite being an independent artist, Holden’s work continues to reach global audiences, solidifying his place in the music industry. He recently launched a podcast about the industry called ‘DROPPED’, with his co-host Matt Belmont from the band Belle Mt.

In 2025 Greg will be releasing his fifth studio album and to celebrate will be hosting a monthly residency in his hometown of Portland, OR between January and April. You will find details of that on the ‘Events’ page.
