BIO's
Renée Marie's passion for music runs deep, rooted in the rich traditions of her family. Growing up, her home was filled with the sounds of melodies sung in the kitchen and tunes played on the radio, where she would joyfully sing along. Family camping trips became impromptu jam sessions, with everyone gathered around the campfire, singing and playing instruments together. Sundays were special; she'd wash off the dirt from her outdoor adventures, slip into a flowered dress, and captivate her church congregation with heartfelt performances. As she matured, Renée honed her craft by traveling across the Midwest, recording singles, and soaking in the diverse musical landscapes she encountered. Even as life grew busier with the demands of raising a family, Renée never let go of her love for music. She found ways to keep the music alive—whether through singing at church, harmonizing during road trips, or soothing her children to sleep with gentle lullabies. Music has been, and always will be, the thread that weaves through every chapter of Renée's life.
