Renee started singing at the age of three and entered her first contest at the age of eight\, finishing in 2nd place overall.

\n\nTo date\, this country sensation has 31 original songs. Her band\, Renee and the Renegades\, has what fans and their manager call a &lsquo\;unique&rsquo\; sound. There is no one in country music that can scratch an itch for one of their original scores. Her Karen Carpenter like voice mixes Zydeco\, Irish Folk\, Pop\, Rock\, and Vintage Country. Some have characterized it as: Americana.
