artist Reggie's Experience

Reggie's Experience is a rushing, provocative, inventive and eclectic flood of ass kicking musical regurgitations. It is also a solo project by Réjean Gariépy, singer-songwriter from Quebec City, Canada. The sound of Reggie's Experience is quite varied, ranging from loud rock to electronics, through dance, pop and a touch of classical. The vocals are sometimes aggressive, sometimes dirty, sometimes humoristic, and Reggie's Experience borrows from the melancholy of Depeche Mode, the raw energy of Muse, the modernism of Metric, the rythms of Madonna, the electronical intensity of The Faint the melodies of Coldplay. Reggie's Experience project resulted from the pressing need for the author to express, without artifice and directly, his views on hot topics. The lyrics start with constatations, fights, rebellions and personnal fantasies. The topics discussed are sex, north american way to deny environmental emergency to change things, the 40 year old man's awakening about the rest of his life, bad treatments we reserve to children and the stressing lifestyle we tend to inflict to ourselves. Those are the basis of this caustic musical project. Reggie's Experience, it's also a scream from the heart. Conscious that the star system isn't accessible to 40 year old men, unless you do aunt-and-uncle stuff, Reggie's Experience is in some sort a proclamation preaching the right for an old ass to play rock, to use this musical style to spread ideas, share observations and life experiences in a way only ancestors like him can do. Lyrics are in English. This is the result of such a short reflexion, even if Réjean is a French speaking person from Quebec City, Canada. Réjean is much more comfortable to sing in English, and his musical influences are mostly in this language. He decided to express himself in English, even if he's conscious he has a French accent; maybe people out t here will just find it exotic? The fact that the province of Quebec, mainly a French province, is a little village in the middle of an English continent, makes the decision easy if you want to share your ideas with the more people possible. For many years, Réjean polishes his talents in various artistic disciplines, including music, composition and singing. With a multi-faceted personality, rebel but timid, a look carefully neglected, Réjean is primarily inspired by rock, but his music borrows from other musical styles such as electronics and classical.
