Greg Novak is an independent musician from Madison, Wisconsin. His focus is positive songwriting expressed through ambient, lo-fi, folk tunes. His influences range from Bob Dylan, the Clientele, Neil Young, Beck, Travis, Townes Van Zandt, and the Beatles. Since the age of 8 he's been playing drums and began playing guitar and writing songs around age 16. Since 2005 there have been two solo releases under a different pseudonym, Francis Dav Fem, but due to simplicity he now goes by his real name.

With those two members he originally started a band called, Gemmenneer, but disbanded in 2006. Currently, Greg is working in a new 60's tinged, melodi-hop band called, Peel a Peel, alternating with Brandon Winterle on drums and guitar along with backing vocals with lead vocalist/lyricists, Jon Christman.
