Macy Gray, the renowned artist, actor and activist from Canton, Ohio, is no stranger to saying what needs to be said and acting on her words. The musical bodies of work she has produced throughout her career are a testament to her exquisite vision and unyielding devotion to her craft. Her sleek, sultry and mature take on R&B draws from decades worth of history. Yet her ability to still sound forward-thinking and fresh is what reaffirms and reasserts her as a signature rarity in music. Since Macy broke into the music scene in 1999 with the release of her debut triple-platinum album, "On How Life Is," she has become a powerhouse of R&B and soul, amassed a devoted global fan base and sold more than 25 million total albums globally. A five-time Grammy Award nominee, Macy won Best Pop Vocal Performance in 2000 for her iconic song "I Try" and has received two BRIT Awards. Macy's latest album, "The Reset," will be released later this year. The album is primed to create further discussion about what is happening in today's world and will help redefine what pop music should be while still providing music lovers with good times and a great message. The daughter of a math teacher and a steel factory worker, Macy grew up in a house next to the local farm - a place still near and dear to her heart where she received the encouragement to become the star she is today.
