REINA WILLIAMS AND THE REMEDY
Reina Williams is a dynamic singer-songwriter, producer, and recording artist blending reggae and hip-hop with elements of rock, soul, R&B, and EDM.

For two decades, Reina has enchanted audiences across the U.S., performing at festivals and venues that celebrate conscious, feel-good music. She has composed and co-written more than 400 songs and cues, collaborating with industry giants including BMG Production Music, BMG UK, and APM.

In the 2000s, Reina embraced her native Baltimore hip-hop scene, writing and performing live to beats she produced, while also producing music for other artists. While working as a recording engineer at Oz Recording Studios, she sat in on sessions with acclaimed artists such as Alicia Keys, Usher, Lil Mo, and others.

In 2010, Reina was voted “Baltimore’s Best Solo Artist” by Baltimore Magazine. That same year, she was featured in GO Magazine’s “100 Women We Love.” In 2011, Reina appeared on FOX’s The X Factor, earning praise from Simon Cowell, who remarked that she “made my year” following her standout performance at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. In 2014, her song “Ooh Damn” received the award for Best R&B/Soul Song at the 9th Annual OUT Music Awards.

Now based in New Jersey, Reina leads Reina Williams and The Remedy, a powerhouse band that transforms her original music into electrifying live performances.
