R&B Singer Reina Expands Her Reign “At Midnight” and Beyond
Fans of authentic, soulful, and R&B music are making way for a new queen. Born of music royalty and with a voice for the ages, multi-talented artist Reina is cementing her reign with her latest single, “At Midnight,” released August 13th.
At a tender age, Reina already knew that she was headed on a one-way trip to the music business. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the young artist grew up surrounded by great sound and was heartily encouraged to pursue the track by her songwriter father Warner Wright and her world-renowned grandparents Verdine White from musical group “Earth, Wind and Fire,” and Shelly Clark-White of the group “The Honey Cone.”
“I had grown up knowing I would become a singer, and I was told that there were no limitations to my dreams and goals,” she recalled. So, she went into training. After years of perfecting her vocal techniques under the guidance of coaches Gary Catona and Seth Riggs, Reina knew it was time to take that first step toward her dream.
At only 15 years old, Reina stepped into the recording studio. Digging from her training, childhood, and culture as an African-American and Latina, the brilliant artist began to make her name in the industry. She started performing at the NightClub After Church LA hosted by Grammy-winning producer “MyGuyMars” and caught the attention of rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Captivated by the young artist’s poignant tone and heart-wrenching voice, Nipsey signed as a featured artist, along with Verdine White, on Reina’s projected debut track “Head to The Sky.” However, soon after creating the song, Nipsey Hussle departed, and the piece became a loving tribute to the phenomenal artist.
The audience was awed — “Head to The Sky” was a certified hit, honoring Nipsey’s incredible talent by garnering the coveted Hollywood Music and Media Award for Best Message Song/Social Impact. Emboldened by the experience and the ability to inspire individuals, Reina began to piece her crown by featuring on King Cassius’ “Why Am I Here?” and releasing “Sprung” (feat. Yella Breezy) in 2020.
A rising hit-maker, the artist expanded her reach and was overwhelmed by glowing reviews of her impact. Beloved like a queen by her devoted fans, Reina was more than grateful. “As a music artist, I hope to create music that will be inspiring and contain meaning that will build a legacy. For me, success is not measured in the money I make but the people I inspire and help.”
This is what moved her to release her latest track, “At Midnight.” A powerful anthem that croons love amid independence, Reina’s newest hit explores the story of a hard-working woman who makes no compromises on both love and her career – a modern-day queen living life on her terms.
“My music is a reflection of my storytelling, who I am, and where I am from,” she said. “I hope for At Midnight that people can have fun with the song and vibe to it but also understand the story behind the song about the hardship of wanting a career and having to choose your priorities when it comes to love and work.”
While connecting with her fans on social media, Reina is currently working on a new sound and is hinting at upcoming projects and exciting collaborations. Outside of experimenting with her music, she often unwinds by reading non-fiction books, dancing, and writing.
