Biography

The famous American singer was born in Canton, Ohio. Macy Gray started to think about the music career when she studied in the University of Southern California. Nevertheless, she was lucky: it all started when she agreed to help to her friend in song writing. It was planned that the vocals would be recorded by another singer, but it turned out that it was Macy who performed the vocals. Later Gray worked as a cashier in Beverly Hills, where she met a producer Joe Solo. Together they recorded a big amount of songs in Solo’s studio, and, as the result, the demo tape attracted attention to the young singer. Macy got the opportunity to sing at jazz cafes in Los Angeles. Curiously enough, but Macy was not satisfied with her own vocals. However the demo tape played its role – in 1998 Gray managed to sign the contract with Epic Records. By that time she already participated in the creation of The Black Eyed Peas debut album Love Won't Wait.
