Gina Grayson
Gina Tollese Grayson (born 1990 in Birmingham) is a DJ.
Grayson, the daughter of Arthur Grayson and granddaughter of original Commodores member Art Grayson, grew up in College Hills. She attended Ramsay High School and was a member of the Modern Dance Club and Blue Diamonds Dance Team. She graduated in 2008. She went on to attend Auburn University as a biomedical sciences major. She changed her major to fashion merchandising and became involved in the Modeling Board, serving as president during her senior year. Since completing her bachelor's degree in 2012 she has worked for Under Armour, Anthropologie, Hibbett Sports, Soca Clothing, and Adidas and has also had jobs in account management with Lyft, LivePerson Automotive, and CarNow.
Grayson was frustrated by the lack of variety she was hearing on nights out in Birmingham. She began putting together sequences of remixes and mashups of alternative R&B with disco, house and international music and posting them to SoundCloud in 2015. In order to improve her skills, she began training on turntables with DJ Serious. She made her live debut at a "Lit House" event at Syndicate Lounge.
Grayson has been featured as a DJ at the Museum Ball and Art on the Rocks, and also at Green Carpet Affair, all at the Birmingham Museum of Art. She has also had regular bookings at Paper Doll and Queen's Park in Birmingham and at Revery in Atlanta, Georgia.
