My Space

Wikipedia Article

It has been such a long time since I wrote a blog because I've been so busy but I have received many emails over the past few days about an article written about me on the Wikipedia website and would like to speak on it.

I would first like to start off by saying that I am so pleased and excited that someone who is a fan of my music and shows would take the time out to write and publish an article about me for this great website. I am also intregued to see that it has caused such debate on the website. I make music to bring people together, make them dance, laugh, sing and have a good time with strangers, friends and family. I love and thank all my fans who support me and like my music.

As far as this article goes, I'm so humbled and excited that there is even an article for people to discuss. With that being said, I would like to ask that all the rules and regulations of the Wikipedia website please be followed and that if I don't fit the criteria for an article then that is okay by me. The fact that I am receiving such love is validation enough for me to continue to do what I'm doing.

Thank my fans so much for all their continued love and support!

NOW STOP FIGHTING PEOPLE AND LET'S CELEBRATE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Live, Love, and Learn Through Music

People Will Be People!!!

Hello Daniel Gray World! I've been so busy and away (but you can follow me on Twitter for more up-to-date updates! at twitter.com/danielgrayworld).

I recently had a run in with a venue who booked my show and then wanted to try to up book a show because of my race. While I have experience dealing with racism (I am from the south people), I this was the first time experiencing racism with my work. The way it was done was so sneaky, and excuse filled, it wasn't until the Talent Buyer (who was furious by the way) called and told me what was going on did I know the real reason.

This man loved the music, loved the fact that we got press for the event, but then saw who I was and who my dancers were and there were one to many "black people" for his liking. I am a big advocate for equality and fairness and it is sad to see that there are people that are still like this in the world. I know that prejudice will never be 100% radicated unfortunatly because there will always be ignorance in the world! (But hey let's be positive and dream about a world of tolerance, grace and love!!!)

Family and Friends Vs. Work and Career

So as everyone knows I did a show yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina. The show was great and the people in North Carolina couldn't be any nicer and sweeter then ice cream topped with honey!!!! There was an issue that I ran into before the show though that I would like to share with you....

A close friend of mine passed away on Monday of cancer. I was lucky enough to spend time with her and say my final goodbyes before she passed. While I was happy to perform in North Carolina, I was wondering if it was appropriate for me to do so. The dancers and I had a great time at the event, and the coordinators couldn't have been nicer, I'm just wondering if I did do the right thing. Email me and let me know what you think.

New Music Coming

I just finished working on some new music!!!! I got "BEATS SO BIG I'M STEPPING ON LEPRECHAUNS!!!!"

Sorry It To So Long (Twitter.com/danielgrayworld)

Everything has been going so crazy, I have been traveling so much that I haven't had anytime to blog right here. We have done so many shows, worked on some film projects, and working on expanding the company. To catch up more with me follow me on twitter at twitter.com/danielgrayworld

Thanks guys and I promise to blog more when I get a minute to sit and chill out!!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the support, I love you all!!!!

Live Shows Are AWESOME!!!

So I finished doing my live show in Philadelphia and Newark yesterday and got home really late. I had such a great time and the crowds couldn't have been nicer. The dancers and I were sporting our Jersey Trash Wear and getting wild and crazy on stage. Stay tuned for some photos and videos from the show and after the show. This tour will be CRAZY SICK!!!! Can't wait for everyone to see it!!!

Prop 8

I returned from a day out in rehearsals, meetings, and interviews, to find out that the California Supreme Court upheld the discrimination law known as Prop 8 (or Prop H8 to some).  This is truely a sad moment for Americans and a slap in the face of Civil Rights!!! Those of us who support Equality For All will not give up the fight. This is only proof that our voices need to be louder, our marches longer, our hearts fuller, and our heads higher then ever before. We will show this country and all people around the world that this we will not sink quietly into the night, we won't walk away without a fight, we are all here, all Americans and we will take a stand.

FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!!

Shocked, Confused, & Bewildered

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Dan, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

'And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

A Prayer For The World (Peace and Love For All!!!)
