Underrated - Reece Van Schalkwyk

Page Scrawler · June 29, 2021

Reece has been singing since he could talk, and he's always been deeply moved by music. When he was only 18 months old, his parents found him standing in front of the speakers, crying silently as he listened to a beautiful piece of music. They knew he'd be destined for great things, but didn't realize what lay ahead for their son. In 2003, Reece tragically lost his father, and music provided the outlet to cope with the pain and loss of his hero. His album is dedicated to his father's memory, and the song Do You Hear? was recorded with tears running down his face. The song Peace Maker was composed and written exclusively, and Reece co-writes each song so that they are uniquely his own. Reece is also a Straight-A student and has two younger brothers, whom he takes care of together with his mom. He plays piano and guitar, but in his own words, "I like musical instruments, but my favorite one is my voice."
