Macy Gray (born Natalie McIntyre September 6 1970) is an American Grammy Award winning neo soul/R&B singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. To date, Macy has released three studio albums, one compilation album and a live album - with a fourth studio album set to be released in 2006. She has acted in a number of movies including Training Day, Spider-Man and Scary Movie 3, Gray is best known for her international hit single "I Try", taken from her multi-platinum debut album On How Life Is.

Biography


Born in Canton, Ohio, Gray's career began after moving back to Los Angeles in 1998. "I've Committed Murder" and "Why Didn't You Call Me?" were minor hits there.

In 2001, Gray won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "I Try", which was also nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. She then collaborated with Fatboy Slim (on Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars), the Black Eyed Peas and Slick Rick ("The World Is Yours" from the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack), as well as acting for the first time in Training Day. Gray was booed in 2001 after forgetting the words to the American national anthem. In the midst of the controversy, Gray's The Id became a commercial failure, largely stalling on the U.S. charts, in spite of appearances by John Frusciante and Erykah Badu, though the single "Sweet Baby" hit #11 there. Perhaps in fairness to Gray, The Id was released a mere week after the September 11, 2001 attacks. In 2002, she appeared in Spider-Man as herself and worked on Shaman, an album by Santana, before releasing 2003's The Trouble with Being Myself.
