Macy Gray

Macy Gray, born Natalie Renee McIntyre in Canton, OH, exploded onto the music scene with her incredibly successful debut album, On How Life Is. Her single “I Try” landed her a Grammy in 1999 for “Best New Artist” and the album went on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide.

In her second album, The Id, Macy was immensely successful with such eclectic songs as “Psychopath,” “Sexual Revolution,” and “Sweet Baby.” In July 2003, Macy Gray released her highly anticipated third album, The Trouble with Being Myself. The album demonstrated Macy exploring her more intimate side, and revealing just how textured and unique she can be.

Macy is currently in the studio finishing off her latest album BIG which will be released in 2006. The album is being produced by will.i.am (from the Black Eyed Peas) and features collaborations with Justin Timberlake, Sleepy Brown, Linda Perry and Natalie Cole.

When not working on her own albums, Macy continues to collaborate with many artists as well as managing to find time to spread her acting wings as well. She most recently appeared in the HBO television movie Lackawanna Blues which received seven Emmy Award nominations and guest starred on Lifetime’s The Missing. Currently, Macy is developing her own animated cartoon with Warner Bros., which will be based on her own childhood. She will lend her unique voice as the central character in this cartoon.

From her award-winning music career, to her memorable character roles, Macy Gray has proven to be not only a triple threat in the entertainment community, but a true superstar sensation.
