His father Bud Bissonette plays drums, his mom Phyllis plays piano and vibraphone, and brother Matt Bissonette plays bass guitar. Gregg started learning to play the drums at age 5 from his father. Gregg went on to study at the University of North Texas where he was featured in the famed "One O'Clock Jazz Band." After college he soon joined Matt in the Maynard Ferguson Big Band.
Bissonette was the drummer for Steve Vai and played on multi-platinum releases from David Lee Roth, including the albums Skyscraper and Eat 'Em and Smile. He has recorded and toured with an array of other rock artists, including Electric Light Orchestra in 2001.
In 2002, he was involved in the band Jughead with Ty Tabor of King's X, Derek Sherinian, and brother Matt.
