Reign Star

"The Experiment" Spoken Word Project Coming Soon!

About Me

Born in Wichita, Kansas and raised in Chicago, IL. Reign Star began writing poetry at the age of twelve. Poems soon evolved into songs as Reign began to pen songs for other artist/friends. Convinced that her destiny was to ghost write Reign never knew that she would be the one to introduce her words to the world. It was only after she accepted a challenge from close friend/Chicago rapper Vice Verse to recite one of her poems at an open mic, at the famed Funky Buddha Lounge located in Chicago,IL. Reign soon discovered that she had a voice that was unique and powerful.
Determined to blaze her own path Reign teamed up with Detroit native producer/drummer Daru Jones. The two devised a plan to infuse poetry and hip hop production to create a spoken word project that stands alone. The upcoming project titled “The Experiment” set to release Jan 08 is a blend of tracks laced with live instruments and dirty bass backed by gritty poetry
Ms. Star strives to be a voice for the misinformed and the misunderstood. It’s through poetry she speaks for those who have suffered and overcame, those lost longing to be found and for everyone who feverishly pursue their dreams. Reign is truthful and inspiring. Reign Star is hope.
Also check out “Hot Winter Cold Summer” a book of poetry and prose written by Reign. Available at all major retailers: Target.com, Borders.com. Barnes&Noble.com ect…



"'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"-Marianne Willamson
