Greig Andrew Nori (born November 21, 1962) is a Canadian producer and musician from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and is well known as 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.

Career

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.

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. Nori would manage the band The New Cities for a few months, producing their first album, Lost in City Lights (2009).

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. The organization suspended all projects involving Nori following the allegations made by Whibley while it conducted an internal review of his allegations.

Personal life

Actress Tianna Nori is Greig Nori's cousin. In 2013, she announced that the two were in pre-production stages to co-host a new television show aimed at family audiences.

Sexual abuse allegations

Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley accused Nori of grooming and sexual abuse in his memoir Walking Disaster, published in 2024. According to Whibley, Nori had one requirement as a manager, which was he wanted total control and the rest of the group could not talk to anyone but him. Whibley said Nori was "the only person [they] could trust". In his book, Whibley said that when they both attended a rave, Whibley invited him into a bathroom to take ecstasy, and in the stall, Nori allegedly grabbed and kissed him, stating that "many rock stars were queer". When Whibley said he rejected these advances, Nori allegedly got "psychologically and verbally abusive."

Nori told The Globe and Mail prior to the coverage published online that he had not read Whibley's book or heard the allegations, but he has denied the allegations and has retained a defamation lawyer. Nori wrote in a statement through the Toronto Star that the accusation that he initiated the relationship was false. "I did not initiate it. Whibley initiated it, aggressively." 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."

In a post shared to Whibley's Instagram page, he challenged him to go to court, to prove that he was groomed. "If you think I'm a liar, there's only one way to settle this, under oath, with a judge, in front of a jury, anytime you want, I'm ready."
