At a very young age, Renee’s music teachers noticed she had excellent pitch & rhythm. Renee was a regular member of music & choir all during her education. As an adult she decided to raise a family first & is now working her way into the entertainment field. Renee sings at various locations & many times with either her youngest son Joseph (also a CMSA member), her eldest son, Mike (a US Marine), or Lenita Kennedy. Renee has released 3 CD's. Her newest CD, called "Looking Up", is a great Christian grouping of songs. Renee represented Oklahoma at the NACMAI competition in 2010 in Pigeon Forge Tennessee & took home Vocalist of the Year for Adult Female New Gospel. Your purchase of her music or promotional items will go to help fund her next album. Please consider this worthy cause to help get the word of the gospel to others through Renee's music.
