About the artist

Born in Memphis, TN...Reggie Hamilton began singing at the age of 2 and playing instruments at the young age of 7 yrs old. Growing up in Memphis and in the church gave him a strong musical and spiritual background... with such Memphis musical influences such as: Al Greene, Earth Wind and Fire, Isaac Hayes (his 2nd cousin) and many more national and world renouned artists (Prince, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Luther Vandross, Will Downing, Peabo Bryson, Patti Labelle, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Lena Horne, Stanley Turrentine, Herbie Hancock, Quincey Jones, Barry Gordy, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, etc. and influences from various styles of music (R&B, Jazz, Classical, Rap, Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Reggae, Funk, Dance, etc.) it was inevitable that music and the music business was in his blood, thus his evolution as a artist with a thirst for musical and business knowledge, experience, talent and showmanship. During the summer of 1981, at age 11, he taught himself how to play the piano by ear. At the age of 14 (December 14, 1984) his quest as a songwriter and recording artist began; working diligently performing, writing, producing, composing and pressing forward in his pursuits. By the age of 18 he was a well accomplished musician playing a total of 19 instruments which by the age of 22 grew to the total of 27 instruments (including: violin, violas, cello, bass, drums, piano, organ, synth keyboards, acoustic guitar, lead guitar and a host of various percussion instruments).
