ABOUT GEORGIA REIGN:
Georgia Reign, born in Atlanta, GA, was raised by a single mother as the oldest of four children. Georgia’s performing skills were fostered early starting from age 6, singing and winning a school talent show in the 2nd grade, while drawn to dance from grade 3 via exposure to ballet, modern, jazz and hip-hop rhythmic forms. Becoming a true performing prodigy by age 12, Georgia was professionally discovered at a local dance contest she won by twisting a challenging down south dance while on skating wheels. She instantly began working as a companion stage dancer for many Atlanta artists. Over the next few years, Georgia’s young dance career flourished, touring the world at age 15 with Bobby Valentino on the BET sponsored “Scream Tour IV” and performing various dates with renowned artist Bobby Brown and yet still graduating early from a college preparatory academy at 16.
While genuinely passionate about dancing, Georgia’s mom constantly pushed her toward singing ultimately leading Georgia to join a promising girl group. Singing with this group would lead to her working closely with the legendary songwriter Babyface. As fate would have it she would take center stage as a front vocalist of the group, putting together her debut album. From these sessions, a friendship with 3-time Grammy Award winning songwriter/producer Adonis Shropshire was born. Deciding the group ultimately was not for her; she took the experience and set out on a solo career. One of the unforeseen “blessings in disguise” was that Adonis recognized her standout talents and rejoined with Georgia as a collaborator on her career soon after the group split. This friendship caused the two to land a Grammy Nomination for the song 2012 on Chris Brown’s Fortune album. During previous recording sessions, Georgia was introduced to Raheem DeVaughn. Raheem became extremely impressed with Georgia’s rich alto-infused vocal ability, fiery spunky energy and tremendously strong work ethic; feeling within her there was an untapped potential for superstardom. What was immediately evident was her talent for telling a story in a way that only she could. Later Georgia would go on to sign to multi-platinum, award winning artist, Neyo as an artist and songwriter. In her songwriting there is a truthfulness and attitude that breathes “struggle and triumph”, and for her, at a very young age. Georgia’s attitude is personified by the “Virgo” in her of beauty and intelligence, a quick-witted complete woman who exerts her female independence with determination and tenacity. A lover of tattoos, one of her pieces of art is quoted from her biggest musical influencer, Michael Jackson, “I’m never pleased with anything, I’m a perfectionist. It is part of who I am.” Georgia Reign’s list of those who inspire her also include TLC, 112, Jagged Edge, Outkast, Lil Kim, and Kanye West
Utilizing her rich Atlanta, GA accent, she allows passion to pour out of every note that she hits to complement her lyrical directness. Reflecting back to her name, Georgia Reign’s style is just that. She encompasses the best of everything that Atlanta, GA is. One look at Georgia reveals a super sultry beauty coated by smooth blended mahogany skin shaped over an athletically built body that aides in an unbridled power of movement and voice. Georgia exudes red-hot sexiness with a fashion style of thigh-high boots, platform heels, bad ass kicks, curvy accentuating jeans and bold, daring hairstyles to boot. If this storied beginning is any indication of what is to come, then I think it would be accurate to say that in this case we can’t wait for the “REIGN”.
