About Tony Grey

- Grey is best known for his 6-string electric bass technique, melodic improvisation and warm tone as well as being a long-time member of pianist Hiromi's trio.
- Grey has performed and recorded with a wide range of world class musicians, such as Hiromi, John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Reeves Gabrels, Kelly Buchanan, Naveen Kumar, Tomoyasu Hotei, Gavin DeGraw, Dennis Chambers, Bill Evans, Zach Alford, Zakier Hussain, Gregorie Maret, Gary Husband, Mino Cinelu, Brian Blade, Mike Stern, Karsh Kale, Wayne Krantz, Steve Lukather, Branford Marsalis, Shaggy, Ice-T, Melanie Fiona, Dave Holland, Mark Guiliana, Kenwood Dennard, David Fiuczynski, Fabrizio Sotti, Raymond Angry, Gene Lake, Chris Dave, Falguni, Reb Beach, Deantoni Parks, Lionel Loueke and many others.

Grey is the nephew of jazz guitarist John McLaughlin and carries endorsements with Fodera, Aguilar, DR Strings, Yamaha, Earthquaker Devices, TC Electronic, Keith McMillan, G&H Plugs, CME Keyboards and GruvGear.
- His 4-string and 6-string Signature Monarch basses were designed and crafted by Fodera, a Brooklyn based, handcrafted guitar company. Grey's passion for music and natural born talent for teaching led him to develop the Tony Grey Bass Academy, a leading, world-class online educational platform for students interested in a structured and comprehensive music education, where students are encouraged to study at their own pace.
- The Academy was initially intended to be a companion for his instructional book, Tony Grey Bass Academy; however, the Academy exceeded its initial vision and has been designed to take players from the beginning of their journey through music, all the way to the very end and beyond, learning music creatively rather than mechanically—a Philosophy developed by Grey, which now leads thousands of students to becoming the next generation of bass virtuosos.
