Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida
Latest Single: Uncle Reece’s latest single, “Until I Pass Out”, is making history. In the short time the song has been out, it has already reached #21 on gospel billboard charts – a phenomenal feat for an independent artist, without a full project to reference, and no major backing to speak of. “Until I Pass Out” was written by Uncle Reece and produced by acclaimed Grammy Award Winning producer Jon Jon Traxx (Beyoncè, Brandy, Sugarland). It is a radical but relevant message that explodes from the speakers to ignite the hearts of true worshipers. The gritty beat, clean vocals, and the relentless attitude it possesses compels listeners in all walks of life to worship.
The Music: Uncle Reece’s music is unique because it is born out of an authentic place of worship. His goal is to portray the freedom and love that has been shown to him though Jesus Christ. Uncle Reece lives every word of his music for that reason; fans connect with him on a spiritual and physical level. Uncle Reece’s sound is a mixture of Hip Hop, Soul, R&B, Gospel and Contemporary Christian. His sound is derived from many different musical influences such as Outkast, Tye Tribbet, Mali Music, Jah Cure, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, amongst others.
The man behind the music: Growing up in the tough streets of Jacksonville, Fl trouble always seemed to be knocking on the front door, however, through resilience and God’s great plan “Reece” seemed to maintain the balance defeating the status quo that easily befits inner city kids. This young man, known for his old soul later gained the name “Uncle Reece” from friends and family for his wisdom and charm. Life has thrown its fair share of highs and lows from a five-year straight “F” high school student to a straight “A” college graduate, business owner, and Billboard top 30 recording artist. Uncle Reece would not be who he is today without God’s divine intervention, a praying loving family, and encounters with people whom he describes as “Real Christians”. These men and women through persistence and habitual coaxing eventually managed to show him what God’s love is and what it means to live a holy and acceptable life. His mentors helped mold him into a fearless, unashamed and “sold out” man of God proclaiming the goodness of Jesus Christ throughout the world at large. He attributes most of the reason why he came to God was because of envy. The relationship these individuals had with this “Jesus” seemed too good to be true and out of pure curiosity lead him to God’s footstool. Like most young people, the influences of this world led him astray at first. Tired of going through the motions of everyday life and the desire of wanting a real one-on-one experience with the Lord, in 2004 Reece succumbed to God’s grace and became whole. One night, things drastically changed and Uncle Reece found his place in God’s grace worshipping on the roof top of Florida State University’s campus. That night he felt the presence of God like he had never experienced before - Uncle Reece literally worshipped until He passed out!

Sold into slavery, Lord You're so amazing
I'm second under Pharaoh where the Holy Spirit raised me
You saved me, how You gave me a peace of mind
3 years prison time, now I'm out here getting shine
Lied on, cheated on, beat up and bruised
But I never gave up hope in You ‘cuz You don't let me lose
I followed Your rules then You prepared a place for me
I saw 7 years of famine, made a plan to face it
With enough preparation I can save 2 nations
Saved my whole family, God You have a plan for me
‘Cuz I'm a dreamer with no plan B!
We omit to see miracles like everyday
But when it comes to faith we fall short and we run away! Hey
I GOT A COAT OF MANY COLORS,
I ENDURED THE PAIN AND I'M A WARRIOR ---
Conversation with the devil that I would turn my back on You
You let him try me so You could prove
That I'm a good man, Lord You can test me
Boils on my body and I lost my whole family
My friends don't understand me, they think I'm doing wrong
‘Cuz everything that can go wrong is going on
My old lady said that I should curse You and die
But I refuse to curse the God that did supply EVERYTHING I HAVE!!!!
You can't take the good without the bad
God is good even when my life is trash
I refuse to sin against You with the words I say
You took everything but didn't take my life away
Now I can say I was faithful ‘cuz I endured
I got double for my trouble and my body cured
With everything that I endured I honored You
Now the whole world understands they can make it too, hey
I GOT A COAT OF MANY COLORS,
I ENDURED THE PAIN AND I'M A WARRIOR
Preteen, harp player living in a field of dreams
Watching over sheep doing my shepherd thing
Sometimes it seems like life would never get better
But on the side of the mountain I would worship You forever
Even if You never provide another thing,
Because You saw what's in my heart, You made me King
5 rocks and a slingshot, flung it in the air
Let it go and heard a big POP, I seen a giant drop
Cut off his head with his own sword
Held up his head and screamed YOU THE ONLY LORD
Now I'm a giant killer but King Saul wants me dead
Touch not His anointed, You heard what I said!
So instead I'll just trust You in the valley of the shadow of death
You will bring me through and prepare a place for me
Where life looks better my dream is to be with You forever… hey
The song "Joseph Job and David" by Uncle Reece is a tribute to three biblical figures who faced hardship and challenges in their lives but emerged as heroes of great faith. The lyrics delve into the life stories of Joseph, Job, and David and how their unwavering trust in God helped them overcome the darkest moments of their lives.
The first verse of the song talks about Joseph, who was betrayed by his own brothers, sold into slavery, and spent years in prison before rising to power as a trusted advisor to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The song talks about how God saved Joseph and gave him the strength to endure the trials that he faced. The second verse focuses on Job, who lost everything he had, including his family and his health, but remained faithful to God despite everything. The chorus of the song talks about how both Joseph and Job endured pain and suffering but emerged as warriors of faith.
The last verse of the song talks about David, who was a young shepherd boy when he faced the giant Goliath. The song describes David's faith in God as he goes into battle armed only with a slingshot and five rocks. The verse ends with a declaration of trust in God, no matter what happens in life.

Held up his head and screamed YOU THE ONLY LORD

Despite my success, there were still those who wanted to harm me
Touch not His anointed, You heard what I said!

"You took everything but you didn't take my life away"...deep. No matter what we go through, we were made to endure it. What we go through isn't meant to take us out. God could've taken us out a long time ago but we're still here. What a merciful God he is!
