Perspective
Gray was born on 31 December 1996 in a paddling pool in her parents' flat in Muswell Hill, in the London Borough of Haringey.[1][2] A quarter Irish,[3] she grew up in Highams Park and Walthamstow.[1] Gray has stated that her love for music was inspired by her mother and stepfather, who are both actors. As a child, her stepfather encouraged her to work on music with him.[1] Whilst at school, she began a relationship with actor Harris Dickinson, one she has remained in since.[4] In her teens, she signed to a record label and wrote over 100 songs for them. However, she quickly decided to leave but was unable to keep any of her original music.[5] She then became immersed in London's nightlife and briefly worked on the door at Fabric.[6] After a brief period of not making music, Gray began slowly releasing singles and writing for other artists, she released "Good Life", her debut single, in 2019.[7]
After numerous single releases, in 2021, Gray released her debut mixtape, Dancing, Drinking, Talking, Thinking.[8] DIY praised Gray for the project and billed her as "a name to watch".[9] A year later, after being signed to PIAS Recordings, she released an extended play (EP), Synchronicity (2022), followed by another EP, Higher Than the Sun (2023).[10][11] In 2023, she released the single "Happiness",[12] as well as collaborating with French DJ Kungs on "Afraid of Nothing".[13] She was also one of 11 selected female singers to feature on "Call Me a Lioness", a song recorded in support of the England women's national football team at the FIFA Women's World Cup.[14]
Having remained involved in clubs and nightlife, Gray began playing unannounced sets in clubs weekly and enjoyed seeing the positive response to her music, both released and unreleased.[15] In July 2024, Gray released the singles "Free" as the lead single from her then unreleased debut album.[16] She later released the second single, "Angel of Satisfaction", a month later.[17] Then in September 2024, she announced that the title of her first album was Louder, Please, as well as releasing "Switch" as a single.[18] It was released on 17 January 2025.[19] She is set to play her first national tour across the UK in promotion of the album.[20] She is also set to support Sugababes on their Sugababes '25 Tour and support Kesha and the Scissor Sisters on The Tits Out Tour.[21][22]
