Reece_Happy by Michael Jackson and Jackson 5

Reece is a little boy with big dreams, but he'll be the first to tell you that his biggest dream is to touch people's hearts with his voice and change the world for the better. When asked what he would do with his money once famous, his immediate response was "I'm going to build a big house with lots of rooms for poor people to stay in, I'm going to give them nice beds to sleep on, lots of food to eat, clothes to wear and teach them how to be successful so they don't have to be poor anymore"

Reece has been singing since he could talk, and has always been deeply moved by music, his mom and dad found him at the age of 18months, standing in the lounge with his hands on the speakers, listening to a beautiful piece of music, with silent tears running down his face. They knew he had a great destiny but didn't fully realise what lay ahead for Reece. Reece's greatest hero, his dad, was tragically killed in August 2003. Reece's world fell apart and singing became his way of expressing and dealing with the pain and unanswered questions. His album is dedicated to the one person he misses so much, his dad. The song "Do You Hear?" was recorded with tears running down his face and was a major step for him, allowing him to fully express his emotions about his loss. Everyone who hears him sing is affected by his voice and the emotion it conveys. He wrote and composed "Peacemaker" himself and co-writes on every song so that each one is a piece of himself that he can give to others. It’s for certain that this young man will achieve his dream and much more. 
He is also a straight A student, a brilliant actor, a big brother to Alex and Judah, and a blessing to his mom. He plays guitar and piano but, in his own words "I like musical instruments but my favourite one is my voice" . The performance potential of this young star will blow South Africa and the world away, and break boundaries in the music industry like never before seen in our local scene’s.
