Gregory Leskiw (born 5 August 1947) is a Canadian guitarist best known for playing guitar with The Guess Who 1970-1972.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Leskiw's father was a jazz guitarist who toured Manitoba in the 1930s and 1940s. Leskiw began playing the guitar at the age of 12. Through Leskiw's high school years he played in Winnipeg rock bands The Shags, Logan Avenue, and Wild Rice. By 1969 Wild Rice dissolved, and in mid-1970 he started playing with The Guess Who along with Kurt Winter replacing Randy Bachman. Leskiw wrote "One Divided" which appeared on the 1971 album So Long, Bannatyne. After a few albums with The Guess Who, Leskiw left the band. In early 1972, Leskiw formed Mood jga jga. He was also a member of Crowcuss and Kilowatt, both with Bill Wallace. From 1986 to 1997, Leskiw operated Vox Pop Studios, a popular recording studio for local Winnipeg Groups such as Crash Test Dummies, The Blue (now New) Meanies and Mood jga jga.
