About Reign Lee

Alternative artist, Reign Lee’s lyrical yet dynamic style has firmly established her as a singer-songwriter with an edge. Drawing a list of comparisons as diverse as Patti Smith, the Smashing Pumpkins, PJ Harvey, Annie Lennox, Nirvana and the Pixies – the chameleonic musician has carved out her own brand of what it means to be alternative by combining rock, pop, folk and electronica.

Reign was born off the beaten track in the town of Hamilton, Ontario. She has lived, worked, and studied in Ontario, Alberta, Arizona, Beijing, Illinois, New York & Hong Kong. Born to a European-Canadian mother & a Chinese father, Reign's multi-cultural background helped sow the seeds for her restless travels to the ends of the world.

Reign has won the International Free Ride Song Contest. She has received 2 Honorable Mentions in Mike Pinder's Bandwars for her songs ‘SUMMER FADED’ and ‘BURN’ from her album “BROKEN SKYLINES.” She has also received Honor Awards in the 11th and 12th Annual Unisong International Songwriting Contest, the Top Finalist honor in the 2007 Great American Song Contest and has been nominated for an Independent Music Award. Her popular song, ‘BUILT TO LAST’ from her album “HOLDING BACK THE BEAST” was selected to be part of Microsoft and Reverbnation’s Sponsored Songs campaign, which resulted in thousands of downloads and a cult fanbase of ravenous Twilight saga fans pushing for the song’s inclusion in one of the upcoming film’s soundtracks. She’s been a guest on the Tim Qualls show as well as CBS’s popular program ‘Virginia This Morning.’ She’s also been a featured artist on Fearless Radio's New Music Binge and ABC networks online indie music showcase, Fame Games.

Reign’s live performances have drawn comparisons with Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Smashing Pumpkins and Thom Yorke. In March and April of last year, she was honoured to open 2 shows for acclaimed singer-songwriter, Joseph Arthur. Her latest EP, “ANGELS IN THE DIRT,” has already been garnering attention from Crystal Blue Radio in New York, Radio Basingstoke in England and Women of Substance Radio in the US. Time Out magazine described the tracks on the EP as 'cinematic.’

Reign Lee has played in venues all over the world and recently wrapped her third US tour. She has also toured the UK. She's been recording a new record with producer Manny Nieto (The Breeders, Rumspringa, HEALTH). The bulk of the recording sessions were done over a period of 36 hours and the EP is set for a mid-2012 release. She has plans to continue touring throughout 2012 and is digitally distributed to the world by Blue Pie Records. Reign is also the founding editor of INDIE MAG – a new magazine for independent musicians highlighting scenes, musicians and music driven causes from around the world.
