ABOUT

/Rice Renee
I have been singing since 4 years of age. My mother and i started out singing and performing Ethnic folk songs from Russia. I think I've sang just about every music style you can think of. My passion is music, it is the driving source of my soul. Music I can truly say, has all the credit for getting me through my high school years. I attended college with a full music scholarship at Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Sterling Heights Michigan. I have performed through-out Europe and the United States, from California to New York and from England to the former Soviet Union. I have been honored to sing with and for many great artist and groups such as, the great Ray Charles,The Temptations,Sheila E., Manhattan Transfer and more. I truly believe that i have been blessed to work with so many talented musicians here in Detroit. From my first band "Count down" to The Jerry Ross band,David Myles,Notorious,Norma jean Bell and so many more. So i just say thank you! I currently perform with Renee Rice and the Royce trio. A great group of guys. The music is awsome that we create and the fellas are just so easy and fun to work with. Please check out are new album "Squeeze Me" It is my love for music and the appreciation for the gift That God gave me, that i Sing
