Reggie P.
Daddy B. Nice's #70 ranked Southern Soul Artist

About Reggie P.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Reggie P. entered the music business via the legendary funk band, the BarKays, in the late nineties. His first solo effort, Who Am I (Avanti, 2000), was an uneven assortment of songs and styles ranging from rock ("Dream Weaver" and "Your Lover Is A Bad Habit") to urban-smooth ("In The Air Tonight") to the Southern Soul promise of "Let Me. . . " and "Nobody Wants You."

An even more obscure LP (All Music Guide doesn't even list it), Can't Turn A Street Woman Into A Housewife, appeared in 2003. The CD found Reggie P. still vacillating between styles, with yet another reprise of the Gary Wright tune, "Dream Weaver." The disc, however, was notable for introducing two mid-tempo tunes that defined the Southern Soul formula Reggie P. would finally choose for good: "Don't Want To Lose Your Love" and "Droppin' Salt." "Droppin' Salt" in particular intrigued Deejays of the Deep South, and word of mouth drew fans to Reggie P.

Reggie P.'s breakout CD, Why Me? (Allison), arrived in 2005. Led by its title track, the independently-produced disc was everything its forerunners had not been: a tightly-focused, emotionally and musically-overpowering expression of Southern Soul music at its best.

The vocal mastery displayed on the album stand-outs--"Why Me?," "Come On Girl," "Hold On," "Eyes Are Rainin'" (with Sir Charles Jones, who also composed) and "Droppin' Salt" (wisely reprised from the Can't Turn A Street Woman Into A Housewife album)--catapulted Reggie P. into the first rank of Southern Soul vocalists.

From CD BABY: Notes:

Earning his "Prince and Badd Boy of Southern Soul" reputation through his raw vocals, hard image, and at times, outlandish persona, Reggie P.'s soulfully crafted recordings and smoldering live performances have ignited a blaze in the South, and unfortunately for some, there's not an extinguisher in sight.

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, home of the historical Beale Street and Stax Records, where many nationally acclaimed artists such as Isaac Hayes, and Otis Redding revolutionized the music industry, Reggie P. is no amateur to the music scene. Discovered by and a former member of the very well known and loved funk group, The BarKays, Reggie has performed alongside and opened for such headliners as Mel Waiters, The Isley Brothers, R. Kelly, Tyrone Davis, The O'Jays and countless others.

Debuting his long awaited album, "Why Me?" Reggie P. gives you a V.I.P. invitation into his heart, mind, and soul. Combining the heartfelt lyrics and swaying melodies of his love ballads such as "Hold On" and "Ready To Accept" with his intensifying display of verbal foreplay and love making in "Come On Girl," Reggie P. is not afraid to show his sensitive nature, one of the many qualities that has left the ladies of the South mesmerized. Don't worry, Fellas... Reggie didn't forget about you. Reggie P.'s "Soul Steppin" will have you stepping for weeks. This funky groove along with "Drop That Thang" will definitely have you setting a blaze on the dance floor.

With an array of outstanding musical talent, Reggie P. has proven that he is more than qualified to carry the title, "The Prince and Badd Boy of Southern Soul!"
