Reamonn was a German rock and pop band that is well known all over Europe. They recorded six albums and disbandoned in 2010.
In 1998, Rea Garvey left his band The Reckless Pedestrians and home town of Tralee, Ireland to go to Germany with not a lot money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an ad into local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, "Singer requires band for recording and live shows." Mike Gommeringer (Gomezz) saw this ad and accurately assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The twosome met up and subsequently recruited Uwe, Sebi and Phil. Their first gig was played on New Year's Eve 1998 in Stockach.
In order to secure a recording contract, they set up a showcase at Logo, a small club in Hamburg, in front of 16 representatives from various record labels in 1999. The band was quickly offered several contracts, settling on signing with Virgin Records Germany. As of 2006 they are now releasing their music through Universal Music.
Their best known songs are: Supergirl and Tonight(2006).
In 2011, Rea started his solo career and as of 2018, released 4 albums so far: Can't stand the silence, Pride, Prisma and Neon. Rea continues to work with national and international artists like Kool Savas, Jam & Spoon, Paul van Dyk or Mary J. Blige.
In the past, he recorded a new version of "All good things come to an end" with Nelly Furtado.
For several German movies he provided solo tracks even before Reamonn disbandoned.
He regularely appears at a coach of the German Version of "The Voice" or "The Voice Kids".
Rea married in 2002 and together with their child, they live in Berlin.

Tryin' not to cry, I'll make it on my own
I know it won't be easy but I've got faith in me
I'll prove to you, I can make it through
I'll walk tall, I'll walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up when I fall, I'll walk tall, walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up, when I fall
Walk tall through the night
I'll walk tall
If you change your mind, you know, it just might happen
I'll be long since gone, 'cause waiting's not my style
And if, by chance, we do meet and your lips try to kiss
I'll be strong enough to tell it like it is
To tell it like it is
'Cause I'll walk tall, walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up when I fall, I'll walk tall, walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up, when I fall
We have pride in our eyes that's why the tears in my face
I walk tall through the night
Know that I'm right
That's right come on
Give it to me know
Yeah!
Oh!
Yeah!
The truth can sometimes taste so bitter
While I laugh and still, I'm hurting still
It's me who's picking up all those pieces
I know that I can win, and when I will
I know that I can win, and when I will
I know that I can win, and when I will
I know that I can win, and when I will
I know that I can win, and when I will
I'll walk tall, I'll walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up when I fall, I'll walk tall, walk tall
Unless you learn to stand up, when I fall
We have pride in our my eyes that's why the tears in my face
I walk tall through the night
Know that I'm right (right)
