Hi there, & WELCOME to my page. I'm Ree, 46 years young. Happy & Healthy, With a future so bright I gotta wear shades (well that’s what I keep telling myself anyway) All that really means Is I love what I do.... & I have loads of ambition inside of me. A wild child at heart. Nought wrong with that ha ? Life is for living & I’m Alive. I am a Singer/Entertainer, & I usually work in the pubs/social clubs/hotels/holiday camps, in & around the Torbay area, Which is on the South West Coast of England.
I have also worked abroad too. Living & Singing for my supper( so to speak) In Tenerife, for 3 & a half yrs,
Torremolinos & Benidorm, for almost 2 yrs . I LOVED IT, all that sunshine ect. I worked as an entertainment manager in two very large complexes while abroad. I ran & compered a full 2 weeks entertainment program, incuding.... game shows, nightly quizzes, booking the acts, dressing the stage on theme nights. Making the posters and much more.
I ran childrens art class too, Making masks, hats,luggage labels, postcards, and ran various contests, talent shows, lilo races, killer pool,
I even learned how to speak & sing in Spanish too.
But hey....... all that glitters is not gold. Although I enjoyed my job & the overall experience I missed so much, The stability of the English way, & that gr8 English sense of humour too.
I decided to come home to England, Back to my roots. I returned home 13 Dec 2005. Being able to add the International bit, to my title. Since my return I have been working hard on my solo career. Trying to get my name out there. I think I'm getting there now ish ! Well my diary is filling up , that sure is good thing. Means my bills get paid,
I have been in the entertainment business for approx 10yrs (Not long In comparison with some) But i have learnt a lot in that time, Steadily growing & learning more as the years pass, & I have by far, exceeded my own expectations as a performing artist. Music to me, isn't just a career, it's a way of life It has given me the opportunity to work alongside some very talented people. (Hey guys won't mention names) but will say, It has been a privilege, my privilege. You have helped me to grow both musically & as a person, Helping me to work as part of a team, & independently. You've given me an insight into a whole new world in music, Harmonies/ Rhythms/Beats /Instruments. Thanx to you I see & hear much more, I feel the movement within the sound. Music has given me a path to follow, a direction in life, It challenges my abilities, & tests my skills every day.
Keeps me on my toes & fills my veins with ambition.

If you like Pink Floyd It's a must & well worth a listen,
You will hear me, singing on some of the tracks too.
While working with & for Mark Emery, At Mark 1 records.
I shared an active part in the making of Bryns Morgans Evans C.D.
As Assistant Producer, On the ... Dare 2 Believe album.
Sadly while we were in the middle of recording sessions with Bryn.
The devestating news came, that he had sudenly passed away.
Friday December 22 2006 at the tender age of 34.
Mark & myself took it upon ourselves to finish & complete the album for Bryn,
Using personal photographs & music we had recently recorded with him.
IT'S NOW ON SALE.
Bryn was an extraordinary talented musician who wrote beautiful songs from his heart. His words portrayed the events in his life.
His voice and guitar conveyed the passion and love in his heart.
He was also an accomplished songwriter & crafted some really beautiful songs.
Bryn's music & songs are exception & deserve to get heard.
So please go n have a little listen.
He'll touch your heart.
Tributes for Bryn can be left at: www.brynevans.co.uk
Bryn's music will live on and these songs will be part of his legacy.
