Jayne Gray

Jayne Gray grew up on a farm in southern Virginia and began recording herself rapping on GarageBand under the name Queen’s Habit at the age of 16. What began as messing around and making music with friends soon turned into an escape for Gray from her private Christian school where she did not feel understood. Soon afterwards, she found herself gaining a small following on SoundCloud under this moniker and became known for her raw and relatable lyrics. At 18 she moved to Sacramento, California where she began teaching herself DJing and music production while studying Psychology at a local college. In the summer of 2017, Gray was traveling in London when she went on a ghost and murder tour of the city. During this tour she was told the story of “Lady Jane Grey” a past queen of England who was executed at a young age. Gray felt an immediate connection to this story and also felt like she bore a resemblance to her and thus, her stage name Jayne Gray was born.

After graduating Sacramento State University with a degree in Communications and Psychology, Gray moved to Los Angeles to attend Icon Collective. After graduating from Icon, Gray built a home studio at her house in Los Angeles and then one month later - the pandemic hit. Gray used this time at home to develop her signature sound, and also to pivot away from EDM and into hip-hop. In 2020 Gray also linked with Wav3Pop and the duo became extremely influential to her style as a producer.
