Loren Gray

Background

Loren Gray is a new face in the pop music industry. She started as a social media star but has grown to become a very successful singer — despite all the obstacles she faced. Gray was born on April 19, 2002, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Her zodiac sign is Aries and she is American. Her parents are Jeremy and Debbie Beech. She also has an older half-sibling — Jordan. Gray started her career by joining TikTok in 2015 and quickly rose to popularity.

Gray has millions of followers on social media — 51 million on TikTok, 22.4 million on Instagram, and 3.78 million subscribers on Youtube. She is also the 10th-most followed TikTok celebrity. Gray appeared in the English pop singer HRVY’s music video, “Personal” (2017). This was her first appearance in a music video. She later went on to sign her first record deal with Virgin Records and soon released her debut single in 2008 — ‘My Story.’ Gray revealed that the song was based on a friend who “kept falling in love with the wrong people.” Later, she released her second song, titled ‘Kicked You Out’ (2018). Gray wrote and produced the song by herself, along with record producer Ido Zmishlany. The song was a hit, and Billboard complimented it, saying that it shows “the true highs and lows that come with being in love.” Her third single — ‘Queen’ (2018) — was released in December and was an empowering anthem. The song’s video has gained 18 million views since its release.

Gray began 2019 by appearing in the musician duo Lost Kings’ single ‘Anti-Everything.’ She then went on to record two new singles — ‘Options’ with Jason Derulo and Chris Brown, and ‘Lie Like That’ with Australian singer Ivy Adara. ‘Can’t Do It’ — her third single of the year — was released in May and featured rapper Saweetie. Gray took a year-long break from music — releasing her next single, ‘Cake,’ in 2020. Later, she released her last single with Virgin Records, titled ‘Alone’ (2020). Gray has been an independent artist ever since her deal with the record company ended, using TikTok as an important medium for her musical career. She released her first independent single, ‘Piece of Work’ in 2021.

Gray’s personal life has been under a lot of media speculation. She was in a relationship with internet star Joey Kisluk — which both of them were very open about. They broke up a few months later. She was then rumored to be dating social media influencer Juwany Roman —which they confirmed — but the relationship ended after a couple of months. In 2018, Gray dated Ian Jeffrey, which both of them kept very private. Despite rumors of a relationship with HRVY, she has maintained that she is single at the moment. In 2020, Gray launched her jewelry brand, &always, which she had been working on for a year. She created the brand for her young followers. The pieces are available for sale on the brand’s Instagram account.
