Macy Gray biography

Macy Gray is an American RnB soulful singer songwriter born in September 1969. Macey was actually born as 'Natalie Renée Barry McIntyre.' From Ohio USA.

Macy is a graceful soul has have blessed us all with her presence and took to the dangerous music world and came out better for it. Too many sweethearts get tortured in the music business, but Gracy kept a cool head and rose above all that nonsense, and produced soulful music for years.

Her debut album 'On How Life Is' back in 1999 defined her as the RnB angel. Her voice was the introduction to the soon to be RnB angel gone bad Amy Winehouse, which many people forget. Her sound was a more upbeat modern twist on Etta James. It sounds similar to Joss Stone and some could even suggest maybe Dido.

The song of this album 'I Try' was the game changer for Macy. She was now the soul queen and this smash hit won Song of the year at the Grammys in 2001 as well as a record of the year. A national treasure was born!

However this American goddess could not reach the summits of her first album success. Her second album did not excel expectation in the US, but to be fair went straight in at number one in the UK charts.

Her musical career began getting patchy and distorted, but Macy went onto to produced a staggering 6 albums in her career and is currently touring as a new album 'The Way' is soon to be released.

She isn't so much a chart hitting success now but more confined to a niche market and its fitted her just right. We don't want this sweetheart getting thrown around like a ball in the music business, she needs to be treated like a princess, a princess with a beautiful voice.

Live reviews

Who hasn’t heard of Macy Gray? And who doesn’t enjoy her cooly enticing vocals? Neo-soul legend Macy Gray can do more than sing though; she brings her talents to the stage with ease and finesse and is more than capable of brewing up a mysterious and intimate atmosphere in virtually any venue she enters. Gray’s sense of humour and effortless nonchalance mean that she does not struggle to hold a crowd’s attention, and her silky voice on songs such as ‘I try’ and ‘Relating to a Psycopath’ provide the audience with the dose of soul they came for. Her support band, who Gray does not forget to introduce, are an undeniably talented group of performers who provide Gray with the platform her voice so justly deserves. When a singer like Gray throws a brilliant cover of Thom Yorke’s ‘creep’ into the mix, you cannot fail to appreciate the talent that is being put on show! If you get the opportunity to see her sing in the flesh, don’t miss out!
