Today we’d like to introduce you to Reneé The Entertainer.
Hi Reneé, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I’m a singer-songwriter, musician & I’ve been a performer for over 15 years! I grew up in a musical family and I was always writing poetry as a child so the transition from poet to singer-songwriter was very natural. I started out in bands playing piano and singing pop, jazz, & pop-rock. I even had a brief time in a country-folk band, and another jazz band with an impressive 8-piece horn section, but after going solo I completely fell in love with Hip-Hop, and R&B-soul. I’m so grateful for those I’ve met along my musical journey because I’ve experienced playing multiple genres so I never think of myself as “just a jazz singer” or “just a rapper”. I can do it all!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been challenging at times balancing music and motherhood, but I’ve definitely been able to perform more now that my son is older. I guess you could say it’s been hard making the right connections in the music industry. There’s a lot of people that wanna come around and just ‘catch the wind off your sails’ or even take advantage so I move with caution. It’s a learning experience overall.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
As I mentioned I’m a singer, musician, and recording artist so I love doing studio work and locking in with a solid people. (I’ve been working on so much new music with this great engineer Spencer at Bridge Studios.) Right now I think I’m most proud of these upcoming songs I have yet to release! I was asked to write & perform music for an upcoming film, and have recently dipped into DJ-ing in my downtime. I would say my ability to crossover and blend different genres is what sets me apart from other artists.
My newest single C’mon Hunny is set to release 12.13.24 on all platforms! It’s a totally new sound and definitely something to vibe & dance to! (Make sure you check it out!) https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/renetheentertainer/cmon-hunny
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
In all honesty I’ve had seasons of feeling like an outsider in my own city. I think there’s so much talent here, but everyone’s very much in their own bag and lane trying to make it big so it’s hard to get real genuine support sometimes. Not because it’s not out there, but because everyone’s doing their own thing. That’s why I’m so grateful for my day 1’s and all the new listeners that take to time to come support, listen, comment, share, etc.
As a true musician it’s the best when you get a unexpected message on a random Tuesday and it’s a new fan or follower telling you they just found your music and how much they vibe with it. A good majority of my support comes from people I’ve never met which is what I think is supposed to happen, but it takes time for the rest to catch on sometimes.
