Grey is the nephew of jazz guitarist John McLaughlin[1] and carries endorsements with Fodera, Aguilar, DR Strings, Yamaha, Earthquaker Devices, TC Electronic, Keith McMillan, G&H Plugs, CME Keyboards and GruvGear. His 4-string and 6-string Signature Monarch basses[5] were designed and made by Fodera, a Brooklyn-based handcrafted guitar company.

Grey developed the Tony Grey Bass Academy, an online educational platform for students interested in a structured and comprehensive music education. The Academy was initially intended to be a companion for his instructional book, Tony Grey Bass Academy, before growing in scope.
