Career
Social Media
Loren Gray started her journey on Musical.ly (now TikTok) in 2015. After quickly amassing a large following during her eighth-grade year, she faced bullying at school, which led her to relocate to Los Angeles, California. There, she expanded her presence across various social media platforms. As of September 2022, she has over 5.46 crore followers on TikTok, 2.34 crore on Instagram, 38.6 lakh YouTube subscribers, and more than 15 lakh followers on X (Twitter). Additionally, her backup Instagram account has over 47 lakh followers. Gray ranks as the seventeenth most-followed person on TikTok and previously held the title of the platform’s most-followed individual from 31 March 2019 to 25 March 2020.

In 2017, Gray featured in the music video for Personal by English pop artist HRVY.
In March 2018, she signed a contract with Virgin Records and released her debut single "My Story" in August, inspired by a friend who frequently fell for the wrong people. Her second single, "Kick You Out," was released in November 2018 and co-written and produced by Gray and Ido Zmishlany. Billboard noted that the track illustrates "the true highs and lows that come from being in love". Her third single, "Queen", an empowering anthem produced with Captain Cuts, debuted in December 2018, and its music video garnered over 1.8 crore views by July 2021.
