Artist Highlight: Reece

I reached out to Reece through Twitter and email:


Reece, an 18 year old singer-songwriter from Virginia, has been captivating listeners with his sultry voice since he got into music around 3 years ago. As of late, his song, GHOST, has garnered upwards of 20k plays through Soundcloud. The young artists credits Imogen Heap as his biggest inspiration:

"I remember being 9 years old trying to emulate [Imogen Heap's] voice! Stylistically, I'm inspired by Yuna, Frank Ocean, Adele, Lana Del Rey, and The Weeknd."

Reece is currently cooking up an EP that he is taking his time on; "I want to deliver the dopest music I possibly can."

Q & A With Reece

What is your greatest weakness and strength as a musical artist?

Hmm... that's an interesting question. I think my greatest strengths are my work ethic, my determination to get things done, and get them done well. My greatest weakness is that I don't trust myself all the time; I'm trying to learn how to not doubt myself so much.


What material or inspiration of you draw from your surroundings?

I guess I get material from my surroundings- I get a ton of inspiration from human behavior. Something about human interactions and just the human experience in general, really intrigues me.


What is a main goal in making music? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

A main goal of mine, in regards to making music, is to continue to make quality music that I'm proud of. I will never release a song I do not like. I hope that in 5 years time I'm a successful artist! I also hope that I'm happy and secure in my life.
