==Background==
Grey was born in [[London Borough of Barnet|Barnet]], north London, England, and left school at age 15. With much promise and the loving support of her family, she moved in with musicians John and Paul Williams, who encouraged her to follow a career in music. Grey released 'How Did You Know' with Kurtis Mantronix and maintained her jazz group with The Vodka Martinis. After Paul Williams died of pancreatic cancer, Grey formed a partnership with lyricist Cori Josias. A few years later, she met drummer and now husband Steve Vintner, who encouraged her to release her music, leading to the release of two albums, 'Grey Matters' and 'Chasing Tigers'.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.mimgrey.com/biography|title=Mimi Grey Biography|accessdate=12 August 2015|archive-date=23 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923010405/http://www.mimgrey.com/biography|url-status=live}}</ref>
