Greg Jarvis is a Toronto-born musician and composer best known for his work leading the orchestral rock group the Flowers Of Hell. Jarvis’s compositions are largely informed by timbre-to-shape synesthesia, a neurological condition which causes him to see all sounds as layers of three dimensional shapes.

Jarvis was raised in Toronto, Ontario where he was a Royal Canadian Air Cadet band leader and served briefly in the Canadian Army reserve forces.

Jarvis worked in marketing in the 1990s at the major label BMG in Toronto, Prague, Moscow, and Warsaw, and later for Universal International in London, handling acts including Nirvana,David Bowie, Patti Smith, Dolly Parton, Beck, Sonic Youth, Aerosmith, Malcolm McLaren, KISS, Deep Purple, and The Moody Blues, along with Death In Vegas, Spectrum and Spiritualized with whose members he would later collaborate as an artist. Jarvis also worked as an executive at the BBC’s Top Of The Pops where he conducted interviews with such acts as the Spice Girls, Queen, Alice Cooper, Depeche Mode, and Oasis.
