Miriam "Mim" Grey is an English singer-songwriter, composer and musician. Grey has worked with London-based DJs and producers such as Lee Cabrera (2005 single/EP, "I Watch You") and Kurtis Mantronik (2003 single/EP "How Did You Know"). Tom Jones described Grey as his "favourite singer".
In May 2010, Grey released her first solo album, Grey Matters. She has since performed with Paul McCartney and Tom Jones.
Grey was born in Barnet, north London, England 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.
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.
