ROBOT

Ree has been writing original songs for the past few years, developing her songwriting and guitar playing. She has also spent some time experimenting with the world of synthesizers, writing some alternative instrumental/atmospheric tracks too. Having spent time learning production/recording techniques at Kidd Studios, she then went onto study music performance and is presently on an artist development course in her hometown of Brighton. She is continuing to build on her knowledge and experience on her own and with friends/other artists.

Ree is presently focused on her band 'Wolf Like Child' http://wolflikechild.co.uk 
Wolf Like Child started gigging on the Brighton circuit in March 2013. They have played at several venues and have been well recieved. They are currently taking some time to focus on writing/recording and hoping to get back to gigging within the next couple of months. But you may catch Ree singing her songs solo at the occasional open mic or acoustic gig.

Prior to forming her band, Ree was developing her acoustic guitar playing, but she has now discovered the electric guitar which she plays in 'http://soundcloud.com/wolflikechild' and loves the energy it creates. She plays a Les Paul style guitar with a Fender combo amp. Creating warm rich tones and kicks in some gritty distortion with her Jackhammer pedal, as she sings about love & life, sometimetimes with a socio-political edge. The overall sound of the band blends rock, folk, blues and dub.

Ree has collaborated with various other artists. Brighton's resident Dubstep DJ 'http://soundcloud.com/inasound' produced their first track, 'Runaway' which is online now. Ree wrote the track and lyrical content which then both her and Inasound remixed and added lots of bass. DJ Inasound took the track and played it out at a couple of venues in Brighton. Got people dancing! They intend to produce more music together in the near future. You can check out Inasound's music at http://soundcloud.com/inasound

A recent collaboration with http://soundcloud.com/mute-speaker, (also based in Brighton) resulted in a track called 'Green Bean Soup'. Ree wrote the lyrics and performed the vocal. The track features on Mute Speaker's debut LP, 'Smart Bomb'  released on his own label: imprint liquid noise records .. Mute Speaker ...

Previously, Ree collaborated on a number of tracks (as her alter-ego 'Drumgirl') with 'http://soundcloud.com/heavyman' & 'Edgmonkey' on their project 'Darkmannaz' 'http://www.reverbnation.com/darkmannaz', producing ambient breakbeat/drum and bass. She also contributed backing vocals to two 'Tractor Countdown' albums 'Shedworks' and 'Dust Diaries'.

"This one is a quiet stormer, with reflections of Morcheeba, It's a fantastic track and Ree has taken it to the next level, with this enchanting melodic trip hop inspired track. One of our favourites at TPMA HQ"...(The People's Music Awards - July 2009)

"Haunting trip hop straight out of Brighton, perfect to lay back and immerse yourself in during the wee small hours or on a chilled Sunday afternoon. She is self determined girl is our Ree – or perhaps she's a control freak - having already picked up the guitar, drums and bass, she is now moving into producing skills but it seems her hard work is paying dividends. Influenced by Portishead and Kruder and Dorfmeister, she also writes her own lyrics and has even collaborated with this week's double winner 'http://soundcloud.com/heavyman' - there must be something in the water Brighton"...(The People's Music Awards - August 2009)
