Ash Gray
Ash Gray (born 11 December 1998), sometimes known professionally as Gabz, is an English singer who reached the final of the seventh series of Britain's Got Talent in 2013. Gray released his debut single "Lighters (The One)" under the Gabz name on 30 June 2013, which peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart.
In his Britain's Got Talent audition, screened on 26 May, Gray who at that time was going by the name Gabz, performed an original song called "The One". When asked beforehand what the song was about, Gray stated that it was about "losing the love of your life". Gray received praise from the judges, with Simon Cowell stating, "I absolutely loved that. I really did. I think that's a cute little song, great chorus, you know, produced properly that song... you may have something there." Gray received four "yes" votes from the judges and was put through to the next round, and subsequently the semi-finals. In the semi-final on 28 May, Gray performed the song again, this time with a backing track and choir. Walliams urged Cowell to make the song available for purchase, predicting it could make number one in the UK Singles Chart. Gray landed in the top three of the night, and with comedian Jack Carroll already through, it was down to the judges to choose between Gardiner and Irish singers Jack and Cormac. All four judges voted for Gray, thus sending him through to the final.
It was Gray's idea to audition, and that his father almost refused to let him audition because of his bad attitude at home, and required Gray to get better, and eventually let him after the deadline was extended. Gray also stated that "It would be amazing to win – I'm not expecting it – I don't think I will. I'm really really happy to get this far, I can't believe it, it's great, I'm just hoping I can get a record deal or something so I can show more of my songs – I've written over 30 now." Gray's hometown also saw support, with banners supplied by businesses around his hometown.
In the final, Gray performed a mash-up of a new song "Lie There" and "The One". Gray finished in seventh place with 3.6% of the vote.[citation needed]
Cowell stated his intention to give Gray a record deal after Britain's Got Talent. Gray released "The One", renamed "Lighters", on 30 June 2013 via Sony Music.
It was produced by Graham Stack.
The single debuted at number 6 in the UK Singles Chart.
Gray's second single, "Lie There", was released on 3 November 2013. The video was released on 21 October.
