Daniel Gray is a tenacious singer/songwriter who has experienced more in his 23 years than most people do in a lifetime. A refugee from Katrina- devastated New Orleans, Daniel has chosen to use his experiences
to fuel his creativity, creating his critically successful dance album "INVICTUS" with Platinum producer Mark Berry, whose credits include artist such as David Bowie, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Boy George, Kool & the Gang, and Yes.
In July 2009 he released his debut single "Lost & Found" which garnerned a lot of request and attention. The music video was world premiered by Jennifer Hudson on LOGO's PopLab. His second single "Cast Away" was another runaway success. That music video was also premiered on LOGO's PopLab by Beyonce Knowles.
In the summer of 2010 however, Daniel Gray began to work on a new album with new producer DJ Dirty Boy, an up-and-coming producer from Connecticut. Daniel says he wants to get in touch with something a little more gritty, dark and 100% pure club dance. With the album slated to be released in the summer of 2011 there is plenty to look forward too. In February of 2011 Daniel released his first official buzz single, entitled "Incarcerated", that got a massive response, with over 1500 downloads in the first week on SoundCloud and iTunes.
Daniel Gray promises that, "Although this is a dance album, it is also personal and intimate." Daniel has taken it upon himself to write every song on the yet-untitled-album independently from anyone else. He is also currently collaborating with New York performers such as Dallas DuBois, Paige Turner, Ryan McNally (choreographer to Mimi Imfurst and her girl group Xcelle), as well as some well named surprises in live performance this year.

"...A surprise awaits at every turn during a Daniel Gray show"-Jason Christopher, Queer Philadelphia blog
We can't wait to see what is next!
