The producer, born Steven Jordan, rose to prominence as a member of Bad Boy Records’ in-house production team ‘The Hitmen’ in the 1990s and has since worked with numerous high-profile artists across hip-hop and R&B genres.

Beyond music, Gray continues to expand her presence in entertainment. She’s currently promoting her involvement in the film ‘Sneaks,’ scheduled for theatrical release on April 18. The animated feature about sneakers coming to life includes Gray among its voice cast. In a recent promotional post, she encouraged fans: ‘Put on your best pair. #SneaksMovie is in theaters April 18!

Macy Gray rose to international fame with her debut album ‘On How Life Is’ (1999) and its lead single ‘I Try,’ which earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Known for her distinctive raspy voice and unique style, Gray has released ten studio albums throughout her career, exploring soul, R&B, jazz, and pop genres.
