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.[3] 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.[4]
She is a native of Austin, Texas, and after meeting at a party, Grey began working with Leisha Hailey (actress on The L Word and former member of '90s group The Murmurs) on songs which would be released in 2007 on the EP I See Red.[5] The album was recorded at Grey's L.A. home, and the vocals were reportedly recorded inside of Grey's bathroom.
They had an album released in 2008 titled Common Reaction and finished touring last year for that album. In Spring of 2011 they released a second EP titled "Black and Blue" and finished a tour promoting it in May 2011. They plan on releasing their sophomore record titled "Nocturnes" in late summer/early Fall of 2011.
In 2011, news of Grey's romantic relationship with Uh Huh Her bandmate Leisha Hailey became public after the two were ejected from a Southwest Airlines flight for arguing with a flight attendant who asked them to stop kissing.[6]
