Gregory Porter (wuxuu dhashay Noofembar 4, 1971) waa heesaa Mareykan ah, heesaa, iyo jilaa. 2014kii waxa uu ku guulaystay Abaalmarinta Grammy Award ee Albumka Codka Jazz ee ugu Wanaagsan ee 'Ruuxa Dareere' iyo 2017 ee 'I gee Alley'.
Gregory Porter wuxuu ku dhashay Sacramento wuxuuna ku koray Bakersfield, California; hooyadii waxay ahayd wasiir.
Isagu waa 1989 ka qalin jabiyay Dugsiga Sare ee Highland halkaas oo uu ku helay deeq waxbarasho oo waqti-buuxa ah (waxbarasho, buugaag, caymis caafimaad, iyo kharashaadka nolosha) ciyaartoy kubbadda cagta ah oo ka tirsan Jaamacadda Gobolka San Diego, laakiin dhaawac garabka ah ayuu ka dhaawacmay intii lagu jiray tababarkiisa xirfadda kubadda cagta.
Da'da 21, Porter wuxuu hooyadiis ku waayay kansarka. Waxay ahayd tii ka codsatay inuu si joogto ah halkaas u joogo oo uu u heeso: "U hees, cunug, hees!"

Xamaaligu wuxuu leeyahay toddoba walaalo ah. Hooyadii, Ruth, waxay saameyn weyn ku yeelatay noloshiisa, iyada oo ku dhiirigelisay inuu ka heeso kaniisadda markuu yaraa. Aabihii, Rufus, ayaa inta badan ka maqnaa noloshiisa.
Porter wuxuu yiri: "Qof walba dhibaato ayuu kala kulmay aabahood, xitaa haddii uu guriga joogo. Dhibaatooyinkii ugu waaweynaa waxaa sabab u ahaa xaqiiqda ah in uusan jirin xiriir dareen oo isaga la leh. Aabbahayna si fudud ayuu noloshayda uga maqnaa. Dhawr maalmood uun baan la hadlay noloshayda. Taasina maaha waxa aan jeclaan lahaa. Kaliya uma ekayn inuu si buuxda u xiisaynayo inuu ag joogo."

Porter-na waxa uu leeyahay mid ka mid ah codadka ugu fudud ee muusiga caanka ah, baritone kareem leh oo dhumuc weyn leh oo si siman u qulqulaya laxan qani ah.

Nolosha shakhsiga ah
Wuxuu guursaday Victoria waxayna leeyihiin wiil, Demyan. Gurigoodu waa Bakersfield, California.
Waxay is guursadeen muddo dheer, ma jiraan macluumaad sax ah, sababtoo ah muusikiiste wuxuu doorbidaa inuusan shaacin oo la wadaago macluumaadka ugu yar.
Laakiin haddii aad raacdo lammaanaha, waxaad arki kartaa inay faraxsan yihiin oo ay korsanayaan wiil cajiib ah, laga yaabee inay tahay waqtigii la bilaabi lahaa mid labaad.
