Michael Gray is one of the most respected and in-demand artists currently on the global dance music scene. The accomplished Producer, DJ and remixer has enjoyed extensive success alongside Jon Pearn as world renowned production and remix duo Full Intention; more recently however, it has been his solo productions, remixes and DJing that have had dance floors rammed around the world.
As a solo artist, Michael enjoyed worldwide success on the back of his massive 2004 single, 'The Weekend'. Featuring the vocals of UK vocalist Shena, 'The Weekend' was heavily championed by Pete Tong and UK radio, reaching number 7 in the UK charts. The single exploded at a rapid rate, possessing a feel-good vibe that proved infectious. It took the number 1 spot on the Australian ARIA club charts and enjoyed similar chart success around the world. The single's crossover appeal was cemented when it was used in a number of television commercials, including Honda Cars, the BBC's Football Focus commercials and just recently in "Ugly Betty". Appearances on dozens of compilation releases were the icing on the cake for one of 2004's biggest tunes.
Michael has not rested on his success since then, with his second single 'Borderline' (released July 2006) being embraced by both clubland and daytime radio, reaching number 12 in the UK charts, the weeks highest new entry. His debut album "Analog is on" will be released late 2007 - He has also produced and co written an album for Luciana (Portobella) on Island Records and is finishing producing and co writing for new act 'Koolwah' with his first single "Fashion" on Toolroom Records and went to no.1 in the beatport chart. It is now being used by 'The Times' newspaper on TV and Radio adverts. Remix wise he has just remixed 'The Priors' "What you need" for Eye Industries. He is collaborating with Richard Dinsdale, Paul Harris and Kid Massive and has just finished with Jon Pearn a new Full Intention track in about 5 years! called "Once in a lifetime" .Also check out Michael's remix of Gary Go's "open Arms" recently been played by Pete Tong on Radio (5 weeks in a row).
