MACY GRAY BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Natalie McIntyre was born in 1970, in Canton, Ohio. "Macy Gray" was actually the name of a male family friend of the McIntyres, which Natalie would use in her future screenplays and eventually would claim as her own name.
The daughter of a steelworker and an elementary school math teacher, a young Macy was teased because of her awkward voice, and avoided singing, and even talking.
Although she was mocked for her voice and practically vowed never to sing, she did like music and took classical piano lessons for seven years. Her family's music collection also helped immerse her into the jazz sounds of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and James Brown, while her attendance at a boarding school surrounded her with rock.
Her parents wanted her to take on a more professional career such as law, but Macy headed to California, where she attended USC's renowned screenwriting program (her creative songwriting skills are definitely apparent in her songs). |
