Background
Grey was born in Barnet and left school at age 15. When her parents' marriage failed, she moved in with musicians John and Paul Williams, who encouraged her to follow a career in music. After Paul Williams died of pancreatic cancer, Grey formed a partnership with lyricist Cori Josias. Her career suffered for a while as she became involved with drugs and alcohol, but after she met drummer Steve Vintner, she managed to get back on track, leading to the release of two albums.[3]
Musical style and influences
Brought up on all types of music from Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to James Taylor and Earth, Wind & Fire, Grey claims that those artists ‘never fail to inspire’ her when it comes to writing her own material.[2]
