Jimmie Reign -
The Bay's First Lady...
JIMMIE started singing and penning hit songs professionally at the tender age of 14. Since then she has worked with producer Brian Morgan (SWV), Terry Ellis of En Vogue, producer Paul Anthony of Full Force (Backstreet Boys), and Danni Stevenson (singer featured on Nelly's "Hott in Herre") among others. Recently she has been working on projects with Damon Eden, A&R for Atlantic Records, whose credits include Pretty Ricky & Trick Daddy. It was during one of the "Damon Eden Sessions" the hit single "Trying To Be Your Girl" was born.
"I can remember sitting with Damon at his apartment and he threw on that Camp Lo sample. We were trying to come up with some songs to submit to Lea (Lil' Flip's "Sunshine") but I had horrible writers block. I got home and had a really bad argument with my then, boyfriend. I remember saying to him "Can't you see how hard I'm trying to be your girl?"…I wrote the hook in about five minutes. Damon loved the finished product and when it came time to discuss what song I'd use as my own single, there was no denying that "Tryin' To Be Your Girl" would be it. At that point I got Clyde Carson
of The Team to lace the track. He then took it to Bay Area DJ Big Von at KMEL and it has been in rotation ever since."
Mix show DJ's instantly felt the "Luchini" sample and the song quickly became a listener favorite. As JIMMIE's buzz and her single continue to spread across the nation, she is becoming a highly sought after performer all over California as the entertainment industry watches with piqued interest. Radio stations have been fielding calls from major recording industry executives who want to know "Who is Jimmie Reign?" The cream of the crop already know:
"Jimmie Reign is my best kept secret. She is one of my favorite singer/songwriters because she sings with so much passion and her lyrics are so heartfelt. I don't know why she hasn't been put on yet!"
-Damon Eden, A&R, Atlantic Records
Fans share the same enthusiasm about JIMMIE and the diminutive songstress couldn't be happier.
"I never could've imagined that a song so personal to me would be something everyone would identify with. Now it's gone from being played once a day to being played at least three or four times a day. I love it! I am excited to be touching peoples lives and at the end of the day I just want to please my fans and have a long reign as a performer and songwriter. "
Get ready for the reign of JIMMIE !!!
