Macy Gray: Voice
built 118 days ago
In some respects, Macy Gray might be the most unconventional pop star of the moment. Yet everything this self-described freak touches flows merrily down the mainstream. Jill Scott has Gray beat in posture if not stature (or songs); Badu aims to satisfy none but Badu and God, in that order. Squawking like Tina Turner at the bottom of a well, Gray's voice demands not just to be heard, but rescued. In case people are more likely to gawk than listen, she has pilfered a flashy wardrobe from Muppet bandleader Dr. Teeth. The background stories all suggest that Gray is a fluke.

Macy Gray tickets are available for this R&B artist who was made fun of as a child for her raspy voice that gives her so much character. Looking up to greats like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, Gray was inspired and found her own voice. With hits like "I try", Gray has you routing for her and her music. Gray's lyrics are full of soul and you will be too when you get concert tickets and see live.

Gray was born Natalie McIntyre in Canton, Ohio, around 1970; her father was a steelworker and her mother a math teacher and school administrator. She took the professional name Macy Gray as a tribute to a pool-playing male neighbor who told her when she was a girl that she would be something special one day. Self-conscious about her high-pitched voice, she became a shy child who rarely spoke. Even now, Gray told Newsweek, "When I hear myself talk, I always cringe. It's kind of a trip that everyone finds it so interesting."
