and practice can pay off, Reggie has been helping youth to channel their energy into music and the arts.
At the age
of fifteen Reggie landed his first gig with Redd Foxx. That first gig opened the door for so many opportunities in the music
industy. Reggie's first tour was with The Sylvers singing group, then he went on to play with greats like Patrice Rushen,
Gerald Albright, Johnny Hammond, Willie Hutch, various Motown artists, Eddie Kendricks, Quincy Jones ( Brothers Johnson ),
Marvin Gaye, and many more. He was able to not only tour with the artists but was able to record on their albums as well.

For the past four years Reggie has been involved in teaching music in underserved
