After leaving Barbados in 1982 MG stayed in Montral for several years. Once there he founded and lead a jazz funk band call Soft Show as they toured the sophisticated down town scenes of the old city with its winding moonlit roads lined with cobble stones. It was there that MG´s romance with jazz vocal standards first began; only to be truly manifested nearly twenty years later. He subsequently moved on to join an African Punk group, led by singer Ari Zafrani, called The Marbles; as a member he wrote an arranged all of their original music and recorded several CD´s on the Topper record label.
MG later moved to New York and began seeking a "day job" while spending nights investigating, what was to him, an unfamiliar and exciting new music scene. He soon decided to take a job as a cook. In cooking he saw many of the same creative and improvisational qualities the he so enjoyed in music. For MG cooking became the next best thing to music as he began to pursue a career in the kitchen; cooking and learning from the great chefs of New York City.
