His parents, Arthur Gray (a former choir leader) and his mother, Leigh Ann (a trained soprano), have two other children; Christon's older brother, Taelor Gray, who is also a rapper and pastor, and his younger sister Aubrey, who is currently a college student.

He resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife, Shana Gray, and has a daughter named Mya Blue.

[1][non-primary source needed] In 2006, Gray was a part of The Elevationists with his brother, Taelor, and childhood friend BJ (James Hazley).

In 2011, Gray, with the help of writing partner and music director Marlo Scott, released an album entitled Even With Evil With Me.

The independent release spawned the timeless track 'Isle of You', which quickly led to record label interest.

[2] In 2012, he began working on his retail and label debut for Collision, but as it morphed, he decided to release it as a free mixtape.

[3] Body Art was a hit among Gray's fans and featured the label's roster and other artists and producers from the CHH genre.

[6] In early 2015, Gray began releasing music on his own, prompting fans to question whether or not he was still a part of Collision and W.L.A.K.

On April 28, 2015, after confirming he was leaving Collision in an interview with Wade-O[8] & Rapzilla,[9] Gray released an EP called The Demos to be streamed exclusively on the Christian music-streaming app, "The Overflow[10]".

It became clear that he was using these songs to get himself a new record deal, and in June 2015, he revealed that he had signed with Kirk Franklin's label, Fo Yo Soul Recordings/RCA.

[15] Two weeks after that, he debuted the first new track off the album on Vevo called 'Connor McDees' featuring Brooklyn emcee, Skyzoo and his brother Taelor.

The latter track went on to be used in commercials for Honda,[17] HBO's Ballers,[18] FOX's Lethal Weapon[19][non-primary source needed] & RocNation Sports.

As well, TGA received key placements on Amazon Music, iTunes, Google Play, TIDAL, and Spotify.

In an interview with Wade-O, Gray said, "You know the inspiration for the song came from me watching the BET Awards, and I saw 'Crae's speech, and I know he caught some flack for that...

I grew up listening to them, and without them, you (Wade) would not be having an interview with me... so I told him (Lecrae), yo, I didn't expect you to go back and apologize, so I did it for you.

On Sunday, November 5, Christon Gray was announced as the new Worship Leader at Christ's Church in Mason, Ohio.

[31] By the end of the year, an agreement had been reached for him to rejoin Fo Yo Soul and the new staff at RCA Inspiration in Nashville.

[33][non-primary source needed] There weren't indications until a post on Instagram in February with Chris Shaban and Ty Montgomery, taken from a writing session in Cambridge, Ontario.

[36][non-primary source needed] One more studio picture that month and Gray took some time off of his social media and no further updates came until late in the summer.

The track contained a portion of his September 2016 interview on Sirius XM's 'Sway in the Morning' where he discussed divorce.

On September 21, RCA released the music video for 'Time Out' and it featured a host of Christian athletes including Ty Montgomery, Mike Conley, A.J.

The song's co-writer and video director, Chris Shaban, said, "Growing up as a Christian kid (in Toronto), I was always inspired by athletes who excelled at a high level and love Jesus, so we decided we'd like to try and motivate the next generation the same way."

One week after the release of Clear The Heir, Christon Gray was once again granted permission to leave RCA.

It also ends with a teaser for Gray's upcoming album, School of Roses 2, said to be released on Independence Day 2020.
