Name Origin:
She explained that she thought her stage name "represents the unknowns in life.
People seem to be afraid of the unknowns, but I'm the complete opposite. I dive into
the unknown because I feel like that's where all your possibilities come from."
She explained to Beatweek that she chose "grey" with an e rather than an a because
"I like to do things the original way" and because "it's more masculine. I'm not a very feminine person."
