Loren Gray Beech is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and social media star who was born on April 19, 2002, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. She has wowed millions with her talent and honesty. Gray became famous at the age of 13 through the video-sharing app Musical.ly (now TikTok). Since then, she has changed from a lip-syncing teen to a versatile entertainer, leaving a lasting mark on pop culture. As of 2025, she is still a well-known figure in music, social media, and business. Her net worth is thought to be between $5 and $6 million, and she has a global fan base called her “Angels.”
Early Life and Getting Famous
Loren Gray‘s family was very supportive of her. Her dad, a biologist, ran the Instagram account @reallylorensdad, and her mom, a hairstylist, encouraged her to be creative. Jordan, her half-sister, is eight years older than she is. Gray’s journey began in 2015 when she joined Musical.ly in sixth grade and quickly gained popularity by posting lip-sync and dance videos. Her natural charm and singing ability made her one of the first stars on the platform. By September 2022, she had more than 54.6 million TikTok followers, making her one of the most-followed creators at the time.
But her quick rise brought with it problems. Gray was bullied a lot at school because she was successful online. She dropped out of school in eighth grade and moved to Los Angeles with her family to follow her dreams. As of 2022, this move changed everything for her. She now has 23.4 million followers on Instagram, 3.86 million subscribers on YouTube, and over 1.5 million followers on Twitter. She is someone that Gen Z can relate to because she has been able to overcome challenges, like being bullied online.
Music Career: From Cover Songs to Original Hits
Gray’s switch from social media to music started with a cover of Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” that went viral in 2017 and got more than 7 million views. This made her sign with Virgin Records, a Capitol Music Group sub-label, in 2018. Her first song, “My Story,” came out in August 2018 and was based on a friend’s rocky love life. It was the start of her career in music. In November 2018, she released “Kick You Out,” a song she wrote herself and produced with Ido Zmishlany. In December 2018, she released “Queen,” an empowering anthem that had over 18 million views on YouTube as of July 2021.
Gray worked with Lost Kings on “Anti-Everything,” which reached number 32 on the US dance chart in 2019. He also released singles “Options” and “Lie Like That” with Captain Cuts, featuring artists like Nija and Ivy Adara. “Can’t Do It,” her first single with a guest artist, Saweetie, came out in May 2019. She took a short break, but in May 2020 she released “Cake,” and in July 2020 she released her last single for Virgin Records, “Alone.”
Gray became an independent artist in February 2021, which gave her creative control. She released her first independent single, a collaboration with TELYKast, in March 2021. In July 2021, she released her solo song “Piece of Work.” Her first album, Guilty, came out on April 21, 2023, and it was a big deal. It showed how much she had grown with songs that were emotionally raw and meant for “driving with the windows down, crying on the bathroom floor, drunk karaoke, falling apart, [and] putting yourself back together.” She went on tour with the album, and tickets went on sale in March 2023. She said she was excited to connect with fans through live shows. “Breadcrumbs,” a 2023 collaboration with Hayes Warner, premiered on NYLON, which helped her stay in the music scene.
Acting and Other Things

Her job as a host on Snapchat’s Glow Up in 2019 showed off her beauty knowledge, which fits with her love of fashion and makeup.
