Over the years, we have seen a large number of family members coming together to form musical groups. These groups take different forms such as duets, trios and many times we have seen a whole family form a musical group. The Rae Sremmurd Brothers and the Jackson 5, including the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson and his four other brothers, are one of the best bands we’ve ever seen. This article, however, is about a musical group called Grey, made up of two brothers, Michael Trewartha and Kyle Trewartha.
Everything you need to know about Gray (music group)
Gray is a rising musical group which comprises of two brothers named Kyle Trewartha and Michael Trewartha. The group was formed in 2015 in Los Angeles, California. Grey’s genre of music is electronic dance music and began as a band that did unofficial remixes of songs originally performed by other musicians. They weren’t popular at first, however, people loved the remix of their songs. Even later it caught the attention of Zedd, one of the musicians whose song they remixed. He liked their cover version of his song and he reposted it on SoundCloud, which helped the musical duo gain thousands of followers.
The duo hadn’t long started making music when a friend of theirs suggested they send one of their remixed songs to an email address believed to belong to music producer and DJ, Skrillex. Although they greatly doubted that the email belonged to Skrillex, the brothers sent a remix they did Where Are You Now by Skrillex and Diplo featuring Justin Bieber. Shortly after sending the song to email, they received a response from Skrillex, who was very impressed with the song they sent. He then introduced the brothers to Zedd, which marked the beginning of Gray and Zedd’s collaborations.
In 2016, Gray released her debut single titled Hungry, featuring Hailee Steinfield and Zedd. Hungry reached number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the US Pop Top 100 chart.
The following year they released two new singles, Adrénaline and I miss you. The first had Zedd on it and the second featured alternative pop and electronic music group Bahari.
Also in 2017, Gray released his debut EP titled Chameleon. The EP released on September 29, 2017 contains 5 songs, namely: Chameleon, crime, wings, room 101 and These roots. The EP also featured artists like Avril Lavigne, Stephen Swartz, Anthony Green, Asia Whiteacre, Skott and Frances. The EP was released under Universal Music Group.
Grey’s collaboration with Zedd continued, and in 2018 they released a single called The Middle, and also featured Maren Morris on the track. The medium peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States as number 5, and number 1 on the Pop Top 100 in the United States.
