Gregg Foreman was born in Philadelphia in 1972 and later moved to Washington, D.C., where he formed the influential blues‑punk band Delta 72 in the mid‑1990s. The group blended the flamboyant stage presence of 1960s and 1970s R&B with the tension of punk, releasing three albums before disbanding in 2001.

In 2006 Foreman joined Cat Power's backing ensemble, eventually becoming the musical director for the project. He contributed to numerous recordings, including the 2023 "Redux" EP, and collaborated with a wide range of artists such as Pink Mountaintops, Suicide's Alan Vega, Lydia Lunch, and the Gossip.

Beyond performing, Foreman was a prolific DJ and music journalist. He hosted the radio show The Pharmacy, curated underground music events worldwide, and was celebrated for his deep knowledge of post‑punk, soul, and avant‑garde sounds.

Foreman died in April 2026 at the age of 53, with his death confirmed by Matador Records. Musicians and cultural figures, including Jim Jarmusch and Wesley Eisold, mourned his passing and remembered his singular impact on the music community.
