She has said that her Mexican grandmother helped raise her. Her grandmother, Eva Flores, was a singer who performed with famous salsa musician Tito Puente.

Grey's father loved country music, which greatly influenced her own musical taste. She went to Chula Vista High School. In her late teens, she began singing old gospel songs. A friend suggested she try comedy. In her comedy shows, Grey would imitate different voices. These impressions caught the attention of a casting director. This person told her she should try voice acting. She then started taking classes for voice-overs and began working with a talent agent.
