Manila Grey

Manila Grey (stylized as MANILA GREY) are a Canadian R&B duo from Vancouver, British Columbia. They are most noted for receiving a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021.

Consisting of Filipino Canadian singer Soliven and rapper GhostrideNeeko, they formed in 2016. Their debut EP, No Saints Under Palm Shade, was released in 2017 as the single "Timezones" hit millions of views on YouTube since the music video released on April 15, 2018, with over 10 million views. This was followed by their full-length album No Saints Loading in 2019, accompanied by their hit single "Silver Skies".

Part of the release of the album No Saints on Knight Street, Myx states that Manila Grey worked with one of Philippine's celebrity and fellow artists James Reid on the song "Backhouse Ballin". The article adds that both Manila Grey and Reid had an opportunity to perform at Universal CityWalk. This performance marks "...a huge step for Filipino artists crossing globally as our music gains exposure" quoted by Manila Grey from the same article. Entertainment Tonight Canada published an article on April 13, 2023, about how Manila Grey shares their experience as first generations musicians finding success in music and starting from nothing.

Manila Grey has dropped their newest album Midknight Moon on May 14, 2025, which includes the songs Pink Slips, Energy shift, Gm Means Gn, 0000, Locked in, and100 With You

The duo originally was called "Gentlemens vibe" in 2014–2015 but switched to Manila Grey to represent their culture and Filipino background. The name consists of their cultural background with "MANILA" coming to represent their heritage of being Filipinos and "GREY" to represent their new home in Vancouver.

Their debut song titled "1z" (prod. by Azel North) is their first song put out by the duo on October 1, 2016, and released a music video on YouTube on March 28, 2017. The video showcased new image of the duo with the sound of Vancouver and their roots of Filipino Culture being filmed in a Tindahan (which are based on Sari Sari) while snacking on Filipino snacks.

Right after the success of their debut song, the duo released their debut EP on October 14, 2017, consisting of a 6 track project that includes "Darkside", "Eastbound", "Owe U", "Disco Eyes", "Youth Water", and their hit single "Timezones".

In August 2020, they released 2 singles "Shibuya" and "Blue Vegeta", both previews of their forthcoming second album No Saints on Knight Street which was released on March 26, 2021.
