MIM GREY

Mim Grey released her long-awaited and highly accomplished debut album, ‘Grey Matters’, in April 2010. Previously Mim had a top ten single with Mantronix and a club hit with Lee Cabrera as well as co-writing a Kylie Minogue track, and her cover version of 'What a Difference A Day Makes' spearheaded Thomas Cook‘s Christmas ad campaign.

Encouraged by her late partner Paul Williams, with whom she also collaborated, Mim ultimately began work on her debut album, renewing her acquaintance with co-songwriter the American lyricist Cori Josias.

Mim was soon "discovered" at London’s 606 Club where she had been singing on and off since her teens and before long she was signed and whisked off to LA to work with producers such as Derek Bramble and Rob Chiarelli as well as LA's finest session musicians who all helped bring her debut album 'Grey Matters' to life.

For her second album, released in October 2012, Mim Grey recorded with her regular band in the UK.  'Chasing Tigers' is a further taste of her warm vocals and classic songwriting skills.
