The ability to compose refreshingly candid music that resonates deeply with listeners isa 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 PopVocal Performance in 2000 for her iconic song ‘I Try’ and has received two BRITAwards.
Now two decades into her storied career, the fully formed, multi-tiered artist has collaborated with brilliant musical mavens including Bobby Brown, Ariana Grande, andGalactic – 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.

OMG! MACY yes please, i’d be honored to listen and attend!
I used to listen to her on repeat for ages but I’ve never seen her. I did have tickets for a show once but it was cancelled with very little notice (and I had already driven an hour to the theater) because she had a cold. (I guess her voice was more raspy than usual 😉) I would hope for better luck this time!
She was in my younger years and such a beautiful voice. Still powerful today! yes please
Love me some Macy Gray
I would love to see Macy Gray! I am excited that she is coming back to the West Coast!
What a perfect venue for Macy! Would love to join!
my childhood soul some dance and boogie
Sweet Baby! Yes, let me introduce my 17 yo son to the “Time of my Life” Queen live, please. So fun. So powerful!
Would love to see her live and surprise my sister who listened to her cd nonstop growing up. We all have a love for Macy because of her
