~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Renée Walker – Info: 2007~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artist-Vocalist-Songwriter-PerformerRenée Walker is a young artist from planet Earth. At least, that..s what “THEY” told her! Rockin.. her way throughout the World from the early age of three, when she had her first performances with a ballet school in New Jersey while also, attending violin lessons, under the instruction of the 2Chair Voilinist(Mrs.Morgenstern) of the N.Y.Symphonie Orchestra teaching, "Suzuki Method" @ Lincoln Center, NYC. And proceeded upon this path until she began piano lessons some 6 years later. Little Miss Dynamite was born in Berlin, Germany and returned to the area of Mannheim/Heidelberg, Germany to retrace her Parents “European” phase. Raised in Texas, Florida and New Jersey(EAST COAST!!!), she has been singing since the day she was born! In later years, in H.S. State Competitions, (where Renée & her Team-mates often held the top rankings) & School Musicals and Theatre and in numerous bands, since she was thirteen years old. Over the years this has accumulated into a lot of Live- and Studio-work worth mentioning. As support act for - Saxxon, Uriah Heep, Banana Fishbones, the Sweet, Slade, Pe Werner, Snailshouse and Lou Bega, Joy Flemming, Maisha Grant, Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, Nena (99 Red Balloons), the Radio Regenbogen- Hot Summer Nites(INNERCIRCLE/NSYNC/Cultur Beat/Scatman John/Worlds Apart, La Bouche and many others) and in numerous Benefit Shows, Concerts & Gala Events on stage together or as backround vocalist with/for: Edo Zanki, Helena Paul, John Hayes (Mother..s Finest, John Hayes Project), Me & the Heat- Shaham Joyce (Bro..Sis/Popstars II), Charles Shaw (the Original Voice of Milli Vanilli), Alex Auer (LAVA/Xavier Naidoo), Likkle T, Haddaway, Laith Aldeen, Rolf Stahlhofen just to name a few. As well as the many Studio..s & successful production teams she..s recorded with/for like: Jimmy Bain (Rainbow/Dio); Harald Schneck-(6was9, Westernhagen & Paul McArtney Keyboarder, Julia Nigel-Co-Producer); Ralf Zang & Klaus Badelt-(Zang Studios Mannheim,Producer-Julia Neigel, Chaka Kahn); Bodo Schopf (MSG, Udo Lindenberg, UFO, Hartmut Engler, Venus Blue, RTLII-Power Ship & Drummer on Germany..s Starsearch winner..s Productions and for hundreds of other International Productions.); Tobias Bublat/ Berlin (who also worked with the successful German artists Xavier Naidoo, Laith Al Deen or De Phazz); Horst Schnebel-(s17 studios, Julia Neigel, Black2Blondes, Wu Tang, ANGEL) and covering the Dance Sector with DJ ROCKA & -Bassbumpers Studios- Voodoo & Serano: (Blade II, Loona and more) to look back upon fondly.Her band, named after it..s charismatic front-lady, Lyricist and Melody Maker, has been rockin.. out for a bit over 10 years, now. In this time, they..ve produced 2 LP CDs, ["the Good + Bad Times" & "no fear"- (Walker Rec. 1995 / 1998).] and 3 Maxi-Singles ["Mercedes Benz" (Sony/Columbia 1996 wuz 67 in the German Charts, Summer of ..96) and a Maxi of accustic tunes 12/2001 simply named "Preview" & “U R”-2003] and did a ton of live shows throughout Europe and parts of the U.S.. She finally wrote her first Christmas Song, for a Duett with (the Original Voice of Milli Vanilli..s "Girl You Know it..s True"),Charles Shaw-“Hot Christmas” (released Christmas 2006)- creates a super-cuddly- atmosphere for the Winter Holliday Season!!! The NEW R.W.B Maxi CD- “Instant Graffitication”(Foreplay) was Released directly thereafter, on the 22 of December!!! Somewhere between/over/around and influenced by artists like:Skunk Anansie/SKIN, Alanis Morissette, Amanda Marshall, No Doubt(GWEEEEEN!!!!), Melissa Etheridge, Edie Brickell, Nelly Furtado & P!NK this whirlwind shows she..s a thoroughbreed performer with power and class. Her Critics & Fans even compare her with the “Greats” such as Janis Joplin & Robert Plant by saying, she's as creative and powerful. As natural, passionate and deep. Combining the warmth of Blues and R&B, the exotic of Latin phrasings and drive, with the experimental "new age" of modern Art Rock, Alternative and Hip Pop, as well as the raw power of Punk and Rock 'n' Roll- with loud, raunchy guitars and pumping grooves, Renée and her “Possie” are the flowing extensions of the very music they express! Add a dash of Classic Top 40-appeal from the influences of her childhood- Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Heart, Linda Ronstadt, Alannah Myles, Jon Bon, Journey, Foriegner, Gloria Estefan, Cool&theGang, Phil Collins to the ICONS of our time, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Bette Midler, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Dion Warwick, Carol King , Police/Sting or the Clash, Kate Bush, U2, Diana Ross, Yazoo, Bon Scott, LedZep, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Judy Garland, the Beatles, STIXX, Queen, Elton John, Doobie Bros., the Boss, Santana..... (And way too, many more to even attempt mentioning!!!) You get a kick-ass yet, melodic mix of what one only can categorize as "good music"!!! All descriptions and theorization whatsoever, become completely unnecessary the moment you witness the “live” experience! Once you've been caught in the flash fire that Renée kicks up with a crowd, there is no turning back. She sings, shouts, purrs and growls, coos and screams all your troubles out of her heart and takes you on a one way trip to places hidden...yes, sometimes even from ones-self. The Power. The Talent. Breezy Freshness. Filled to the brim with SOUL. With Spirit, Depth, Honesty & Pure, unadultered Emotion. And couldn't we all use a bit of that, in the chilling towe of mechanical Techno zombies of the secular depression? The warmth and beauty of LOVE that RENÉE WALKER radiates, even when she is taking us by the hand, on a roller- coaster ride through the abyss of our most inner wishes and private fears. Handmade music for a new age - up to date, yet timeless...
