Grey is a native of Austin, Texas. After meeting at a party, Grey began working with Leisha Hailey (actress on The L Word and former member of 1990s group The Murmurs) on songs which would be released in 2007 on the EP I See Red.

As Uh Huh Her, Grey and Hailey released an album released in 2008 titled Common Reaction. Shortly after Common Reaction's release, Uh Huh Her was dropped from Nettwerk, prompting Grey and Hailey to start releasing music independently on their own label Plaid,{ even stating that they still owed Nettwerk money.

In Spring of 2011, Uh Huh Her released a second EP titled "Black and Blue" and finished a tour promoting it in May 2011. They released their sophomore record titled "Nocturnes" in late summer/early fall of 2011. They then released EP3, a collection of their old songs re-imagined acoustically. They released their 3rd studio album titled "Future Souls" on March 25, 2014 via their imprint Plaid Records.

On December 15th, 2016, Uh Huh Her announced on their official Facebook page that they were taking a hiatus, with Grey joining another indie band called Summer Moon.
