"Eating and sleeping is a waste of time," he fraudulently claims, though you could never have guessed, watching him engage in either. His life is like a child cut loose in a candy store. All is bright & delicious. No problem reaching for the sky. What registers is that each time he comes back down to earth, he lands on a higher plateau. So, yes, he´s worn a few hats in this long-standing role as himself.

Re is a singer´s singer. His devotees include, among many others, a growing list of other professional singers and musicians. There is good reason. Combine an incredible five-octave range, resonance to die for, a bone-shivering display of a mission-driven soul and showmanship rivaling top-level performer.

His singing performance is dramatic - even theatrical. He likes big stages … sparkle … dancers … lights. True-to-form, as is the case with the rest of his composition, voice and style follows suit … beyond all the bells and whistles.

Throughout his quixotic sojourns, his offerings have included professional photographer, world-class athlete, radio jock, journalist, commercial announcer, film actor and model. These are some of the other diamond-studded trinkets in the treasure chest of talent from which he draws.

Singing was always one of Re´s passions. "Man, where I come from, you´d better be ready to throw down if you´re gonna call yourself a singer," says he. (Think "Apollo Amateur Night" where not measuring up will get you booed and pulled off the stage).

"I feel a certain rhythm and rhyme that won´t quit and my audiences know about it. They feel it too," says Re. "It goes with me everywhere. It keeps me smiling."

He´s always singing … walking down the street, waiting on a line, riding on the train - even while running - he sings. There is always a song on his lips. It is one of his great passions.

These are a few of Re´s major influences: Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Anita Baker, Peabo Bryson, Donny Hathaway, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Ray Charles, Teddy Pendergras, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke and Ronnie Isley.

Aside from his birthplace - Bronx, New York - Re has lived in Maui, Venice (California), North Carolina, Las Vegas and Sweden.
