Greig Andrew Nori (born November 21, 1962) is a Canadian producer and musician from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and is the frontman, co-lead vocalist and guitarist of the pop punk band Treble Charger. In the late 1990s, he began working as a producer with Sum 41 and was their in-house producer and manager until 2004. In 2007, Nori went back to the studio to produce for the pop punk bands Cauterize and Hedley, for their albums Disguises and Famous Last Words, respectively.
Nori saw Sum 41 in concert at Jonopalooza in 1996 and convinced the group to lose their original lead vocalist, placing Deryck Whibley on vocals.[2]
Nori formed the music artist management company Bunk Rock Entertainment. Through the 2000s, Nori would host the MuchMusic reality show Disband and produce music for Canadian groups Hedley and Marianas Trench.[3] Nori would manage the band The New Cities for a few months, producing their first album, Lost in City Lights (2009).[4]
As of 2024, Nori was a self-employed recording studio manager and engineer at Algoma Conservatory of Music, the largest music organization in Sault Ste. Marie and the second largest not-for-profit music education center in Ontario.[5] The organization suspended all projects involving Nori following the allegations made by Whibley while it conducted an internal review of his allegations.[6]
Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley accused Nori of grooming and sexual abuse in his memoir Walking Disaster, published in 2024.[7] [8] Nori allegedly grabbed and kissed him. When Whibley said he rejected these advances, Nori allegedly got "psychologically and verbally abusive."[9] [10]
Nori has denied the allegations and has retained a defamation lawyer.[11] Nori wrote in a statement through the Toronto Star that the accusation that he initiated the relationship was false.[12] Nori continued that when their relationship began, Whibley and he were both adults, and that "the accusation that I pressured Whibley to continue the relationship by accusing him of homophobia is false. Ultimately the relationship simply faded out. Consensually. Our business relationship continued."
