01 — The sound

Melodic by
nature. Afro
at heart.

Emotive builds over rolling Afro percussion — the deep end of house, with a little disco glitter on top.

02 — The stage

Vancouver to
Bali, and
back.

Harbour Event Centre with Claptone and Roger Sanchez, Heist in Vancouver, Tabu in Bali, a cruise along the Croatian coast.

03 — The pulse

Wherever the
floor is.

Now booking clubs, festivals, private events and brand nights.

(About)Gray Li — Vancouver

Gray Li plays deep melodic and Afro house that moves like a journey, not a playlist. Iranian-born and Vancouver-based, he has carried that sound from Vancouver to Bali, Croatia, Turkey and Vietnam — opening for Claptone and Roger Sanchez, and reworking familiar hits into his own sound.
