After Gray started her family and took a job as a secretary, she got another chance when a music publisher heard some of her old demo records and helped her get a deal with Epic Records. Macy Gray was 32 years old when her debut album, On How Life Is was released.
Macy Gray is also an actress and has appeared in several films like Training Day, Scary Movie 3, The Paperboy, Spider-Man and others. She was also nominated five times for the Grammy Award, winning once in 2000 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with her song "I Try."
