 She is a triple threat! Singing, acting, dancing, Mollee Gray does it all. You might have caught her on So You Think Can Dance, or as “Giggles” in Disney’s Teen Beach Movie, Mollee has definitely been on her grind. GroundSounds had the chance to catch up with her for an exclusive interview, check it out below. 

For those not familiar with your music, how would you describe your sound?

My music has a very pop/rock sound! I have always respected Paramore and Evanescence. I grew up listening to their music and feel I have a similar sound to my music.

Out of acting, singing, and dancing, which do you enjoy most?

It’s extremely hard to just choose one because my passion is different for each. Right now, I am really focusing on getting my acting and music success up to par with my dance rate.

What was it like working on your singles ‘You Don’t Know Anything’ and ‘Wasted’?

Working on my singles was probably one of the most fun experiences I have ever had. I had a live band recording with me, so I didnt even feel like I was recording, but actually performing and just having a blast!

Can you tell us about your writing process? What gives you inspiration?

I take inspiration from everything, really. My family, relationships, trial and error, etc. I write in a journal almost every night, and from that comes a lot of song writing and poetry.

What advice would you give to aspiring singers?

I would say to never give up. People are going to tell you “no” and try and bring you down. No matter how big of a name or important they are to you, just keep believing in yourself, because you are the only person that truly knows how passionate you are about something. You have the capability of making your dreams a reality. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself starting to build a successful acting career and also beginning to tour for my music. 

What music are you currently listening to?

I recently just discovered the beautiful Tyrone Wells…I love his music so much! Also, I am a huge fan of Justin Timberlake!

What are you currently working on? What can fans expect in the future?

Right now, I am continuing to write and work on my music. Also, I’m going on auditions for new and upcoming acting roles. Stay tuned!
