LaMarr Re'nee
LaMarr Re"nee began fulfilling her urge to
sing at the early age of 5 at a Baptist Church choir in New York City.
She was raised with the roots of music embedded in her soul from her
mother"s classic LP"s and 45"s of Sarah Vaughn, Billy Holiday, Ella
Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson up until Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan. These
mothers of soul have influenced her 4 level vocal octave approach and
range then and today. Growing up in the inner city of New York LaMarr
Re"nee was quite different from her neighborhood friends and inner
circle. While they preferred to play hop scotch or party at the teen
clubs, she preferred to sit home and write music preferably love
ballads and socially conscious music to strengthen her lyrical ability
and vocal craft. At the age of 15 one of her high school mates
encouraged her to audition for an up and coming girl group called
Jabo"t to gain her introduction into the music business. Jabo"t was the
stepping stone into the entertainment industry where she nurtured her
performance skills. Through the years, not only had her vocal style
developed, she was able to perform with her group at the some of the
many legendary venues, such as the Village Gate, the Apollo, the
infamous Beacon Theater, and Sweet Waters opening up for the great
Phyllis Hyman. Aside from singing with her group, she majored in
performing arts in high school starring as lead in several high school
production roles as in Hair, South Pacific, and acting at local
theaters as The Black Spectrum Theater, The Society Hills, and The
Ashanti Theater Company. LaMarr Re"nee continued to hone her craft in
both areas of the theater and voice. As the years went by she delivered
consistent energetic performances with an extra flare and great smile,
leaving a mark in their minds that these girls will be the next "hot
"group. Jabo"t was the drive and the dream that kept LaMarr Re"nee
motivated in believing they all would make hit records. By the end of
her teenage years the group disbanded as the music business became
tough to breakthrough and sweet record label deals had gone sour. Her
determination for success did not end with Jabo"t. At that point she
decided to audition for casting at Broadway shows and perform at
various music scenes. Her recent venues were at the Sage Theater in
Times Square, Club Europa in Brooklyn; Invite to perform at World
Sickle Cell Day/United Nations, The Blvd in Manhattan and more to come.
