Celeb Secrets: Can you tell us a little bit about your musical journey? When did your interests in the arts begin?
Reese Warren: “My family is very musical. My father plays guitar and sings and my mother plays piano. I have been singing and dancing since I could walk. My training began when I was five years old and started musical theater and dance, however, my formal training to take on the music industry started when I was 10.”
CS: Congratulations on your first single! Where did the inspiration for “Good Life” come from?

CS: You had such a young start to songwriting! How does it feel being so young and a working musician? What challenges does this present to you?
RW: “Yes. I love to write. I write about my life and experiences. It feels great to be young and in this step of my journey as a working musician. I still have so much to learn and to develop in my talents as an artist. The main challenge of being young in the music industry is the fact that I am YOUNG. I have a great team with me though and they help guide me so that I can reach my full potential.”
CS: You are a triple threat, out of dancing, singing, and acting – which one are you most passionate about and why?
RW: “At this time, I am most passionate about my singing and acting. I want to be on a show where I can act, sing and dance. During my breaks from the show, I want to tour and perform my music.”

RW: “Audiences can find me on my website: www.reesewarren.com. My main social platform is Instagram and you can find me @thereesewarren My YouTube Channel is: Reese Warren. When I am not honing my skills doing acting, music and dance classes, you can find me hanging out with my family and friends. I like to travel, go camping, ride my back and just chill out and watch anime.”
CS: Which artists have influenced your taste in music and the content you want to create? Do you have anyone you dream of collaborating with?
RW: “I like all kinds of music. I think I prefer country music to just listen to when I am chilling at home. I am influenced by Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Miranda Lambert. I would love to collaborate with any or all of them!”
CS: You are releasing another song in November and are even getting ready to share an EP at the start of next year! Can you tell us a little bit about these projects?
RW: “Yes! My 2nd song, ‘All About the Inside,’ is ready to be released. It is a slower song about the trials of life and when things get one feeling down, look to the inside of oneself and find the confidence to go move forward. We will be releasing it soon. In September, I will be working on my next two songs, one of those should be released in November and yes, my EP should be out in January of 2022.”

CS: Since we’re Celeb Secrets, are there any secrets you can tell us about yourself or the single?
RW: “A fun fact: ‘All About the Inside’ was actually my first song I ever wrote. It will be my second release, but it was written first. When I wrote it initially, it was a fast paced pop song. Now it is a slower, reflective song. I can’t wait to share it with you.”
