The journey life brought me on lead me to music
Where Reece's Journey Began
At a young age, Reece would always try to play her aunt’s piano. She’d dance on camp coolers and pretend she was performing for an audience. Reece had such an interest in music that her parents noticed. By the age of 7, Reece started piano lessons. She would sing in the elementary and middle school choir. At the age of 14, she got an acoustic guitar. Around this time, Reece started recording covers of her music to post online. She taught herself simple chords and continues to teach herself to this day.
Her Adventure
Reece participated in high school choir, church choir, band, musical theatre, music class and drama class. After participating in the school’s music education so much, she was proud to sing the national anthem at her graduation. She continued to study piano, even through online COVID lessons. Reece graduated from Grade 6 Piano and Theory 3 Conservatory Canada examinations. She has been continuing to study Theory 4 and Grade 8 Piano.
The Performance
Reece performed a lot before COVID hit, and even a little after. Growing up, Reece performed at piano recitals every winter and spring until age 17. At the age of 15, when she joined choir, her teacher and choir instructor found the opportunity to enter a contest to sing live with Foreigner. After winning the contest, her choir played live with Foreigner on the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium stage; they even chose Reece to play the guitar for the finale. After that, Reece and the group started performing at even more events, which included Tommy Horick's birthday show at the auditorium, many churches singing for Christmas, and an online musical, The Rainbow Fish, by Saint Patrick High School and Westfort Productions. In junior and senior years of high school, Reece sang many liturgical solos for gatherings and masses. Recently, Reece has been performing in the CMHA monthly jam sessions.
