Grey began playing piano as a child and attended the Suzuki music school. She later attended Berklee College of Music where she met Mellowdrone bandmate Jonathan Bates, who was also enrolled.[4] After graduating, Grey moved to L.A. and began working as a session singer vocalist. Her work includes the soundtracks to Something's Gotta Give, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Catwoman, and the television show Nip/Tuck.[5]
2007–2014, Uh Huh Her
Grey is a native of Austin, Texas. After meeting at a party, Grey began working with Leisha Hailey (actress on The L Word and former member of 1990s group The Murmurs) on songs which would be released in 2007 on the EP I See Red.[6] The album was recorded at Grey's L.A. home, and the vocals were reportedly recorded inside of Grey's bathroom.[7] As Uh Huh Her, Grey and Hailey released an album in 2008, titled Common Reaction. Shortly after Common Reaction's release, Uh Huh Her was dropped from Nettwerk, prompting Grey and Hailey to start releasing music independently on their own label Plaid,[8] even stating that they still owed Nettwerk money.[9]
In the spring of 2011, Uh Huh Her released a second EP titled Black and Blue and finished a tour promoting it in May 2011. They released their sophomore record titled Nocturnes in late summer/early fall of 2011. They then released EP3, a collection of their old songs re-imagined acoustically. They released their third studio album titled Future Souls on March 25, 2014, via their imprint Plaid Records. On December 15, 2016, Uh Huh Her announced on their official Facebook page that they were taking a hiatus, with Grey joining another indie band called Summer Moon.[12]
Personal life
In 2011, Grey was in a relationship with her Uh Huh Her bandmate Leisha Hailey. That same year, the couple was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight after they shared a kiss. A flight attendant approached the couple, after receiving a passenger complaint about them kissing, and stated it was a "family airline", and asked them to stop. When an argument ensued between them and the flight attendant, they were removed from the plane. When Hailey highlighted the incident on social media, Southwest said the couple's removal was because of "several passengers complaints". The airline later offered them a refund for the flight.[13][14][15]
