GRAY WOULD LIKE TO THANK UKSCREEN FOR THIS EXCELLENT WEBSITE AND WE WISH ALL OUR FRIENDS IN THE FILM AND MUSIC INDUSTRIES THE GREATEST SUCCESS IN THEIR ENDEAVORS.
Gray has the honor of being granted the longest interview ever by Frank Zappa, which was edited by the publishers due to space restraints in Songwriter Connection Magazine.
You can hear an example of Gray's songwriting and playing by going to http://www.ukscreen.com/music/485 On this recording of "Prisoner Of Silence" Gray is playing Drums and Piano with Jeff Berlin on bass, rated the number one electric bassist in the world. Recorded at Madhatter Studios in Los Angeles, California. Gray has now teamed up with Robert Smith of Shadow Chaser studios in Albuquerque, NM and is networking with the burgeoning film industry in Albuquerque to increase his portfolio of orchestration work and filmscoring.
