Reggie is an extremely talented vocalist and writer with versatility beyond imagination- after working with him on several different occasions, I cannot help but to recommend him to each and every artist that I cross paths with. Be sure to contact him soon, as his availability is guarenteed to become more difficult to find in the near future.
