He is the founder and current managing partner of Norwegian full-service music company MER (which he co-founded in 2012), representing artists such as Alan Walker.
Greve began his career in the music industry in the mid 1990s, when he established the Norwegian hiphop group Spetakkel. The group went on to release two full-length studio albums and two EP's, before reaching their end.

In late 2012, Greve founded MER, a full-service music company in which he is the managing partner. The company offer management, booking, promotion and label functions.
In 2015, Greve signed 18 year old artist, DJ and producer Alan Walker to music company MER. Walker released his debut single «Faded» (co-written by Gunnar Greve) in late 2015. The single was certified platinum and gold in a total of 23 countries, and entered the Billboard Hot 100.
In June 2016, Walker released his follow-up single «Sing me to sleep» (also co-written by Gunnar Greve). In October 2016, Gunnar Greve signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing / Stellar Songs Ltd.
