[2] He attended Redmond High School, and graduated there in the same year as Scott Rockenfield,[3] with whom he would play in the bands Queensrÿche and Slave to the System.

[1] Initially playing cover songs, Myth soon switched to writing original material[4] and worked with various singers until they went with Brent Young.

[1][2] In 1980, some time after the departure of Young, they asked Geoff Tate to join them as the lead singer,[1] as they were impressed by his performances with the band Tyrant.

[4] In 1981, a local progressive metal band, The Mob, got Tate to sing vocals on their demo tape, and write lyrics to one of their songs.

After Myth disbanded, Gray played in several bands, including Fire Choir and Dog Daze (formerly Lyon House), frequently together with his Myth-bandmate Gibson.
