The ability to compose refreshingly candid music that resonates deeply with listeners is
a rarity in music. Few artists possess this tool, however, R&B/soul singer-songwriter,
musician, and record producer, Macy Gray, is one of them. With her vivacious voice,
unshakable grip on soul, and funky spirit, Gray knows how to wield the power of music,
which sets her apart from her contemporaries.
Originally from Canton, OH, Gray came to Los Angeles to attend USC for scriptwriting.
While in school she started to write songs for her friends and found her voice when the
singer scheduled to record the demos did not show up. That fateful day, a legendary
career was born.
Gray broke into the music scene in 1999 with the release of her debut, triple-platinum
album, ON HOW LIFE IS, she has become a powerhouse of R&B and Soul. She has
amassed a devoted global fan base and sold over 25 million total albums globally. A
five-time GRAMMY® Nominee, Gray received the GRAMMY® Award for Best Pop
Vocal Performance in 2000 for her iconic song “I Try” and has received two BRIT
Awards.
Now two decades into her storied career, the fully formed, multi-tiered artist has
collaborated with brilliant musical mavens including Bobby Brown, Ariana Grande, and
Galactic – just to name a few. She continues to be a force of nature on tour, as well and
sells out venues in nearly every corner of the globe. Her talents also resound beyond
music. She starred in Tyler Perry’s Black Reel Award-Winning Film For Colored Girls
and has graced screens everywhere with her appearance in the show Brotherly Love
and Cardboard Boxer and NETFLIX’s hit show Fuller House. Moreover, she made a
now-legendary appearance in Training Day alongside Academy® Award winner Denzel
Washington — one of many on-screen hallmarks.
Gray continues to bring her lofty goals to life and has exploded back onto the music
scene in 2024 with her newly released single “I AM',” a duet with BIG FREEDIA. Making
yet another bold stamp on music, the duo created an all-inclusive, positive, anthem for
the ages. In the tradition of bounce music, this bass pounding, booty shaking track will
get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor shaking what the “good Lord gave
you” before you know it. The positive message will vibrate through your soul and
become your mantra…”I AM WHO I AM” reinforcing with everyone within earshot that
they are enough and should be proud of who they are. “Imagine a world where you can
be. Be who you are and let me be me. I’m telling everybody. I am who I am”
