From 2017 to 2024, he was the frontman and lead guitarist of the rock band Black Midi, often considered part of the emerging wave of British rock music known as the Windmill scene[citation needed]. He met bandmates Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin, Cameron Picton, and Morgan Simpson at the BRIT School - from where they would then go on to form Black Midi. The group got their start performing gigs at Brixton pub The Windmill, which had been the only one to accept Greep's emails sent to various music venues.[3] After being signed to Rough Trade Records in 2019, the band has since enjoyed critical acclaim with their three studio albums, Schlagenheim, Cavalcade, and Hellfire. After the dissolution of Black Midi, Greep began a solo career and is set to release his debut studio album, The New Sound in 2024. Greep has been characterized by his unique singing voice, considered a result of his accent, which has been described as "geographically unclassifiable". He often writes dramatic narratives in his songs, with many centered around a specific character seen in Black Midi songs, such as "John L".
