The composer was born and raised in Gmunden, Austria, where he began piano lessons at age 4 and received rigourous home instruction from his composer father, Gerhard Narholz. After high school, Gregor studied at the Richard Strauss Konservatorium in Munich, where he graduated with a degree in Classical Composition & Conducting.
