Biography:
I go by “ Renny J ” and I'm from from Brooklyn, NY. I've been told that I'm one of the premier accomplished bass players of recent years. I started playing drums at 9 years old, and eventually moved to bass guitar around 17 years old. I've been playing music for over 45 years now.
My grandfather & father (Reunald Sr. & Jr. respectively) were well known & accomplished trumpet players. Reunald Sr. (“Jonesy”) played with Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, James Brown's band & Nat King Cole. Reunald Jr. (my dad “Bo”) played w/ James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr., Motown's Funk Brothers & other well-known artists. You can hear his signature trumpet every time you hear the “Sanford & Son” & “Ironside” theme song.
Because of my unique playing style, I've recorded w/ Parliament/Funkenstein (“Clones of Dr. Funkenstein album), Donna Summer, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys, and many other artists. After the record company I played with went out of business (Casablanca Records), I eventually went to Paramedic school where I subsequently worked in this field for about 6 years, and then subsequently transitioned to Radiology while still doing music.
Later, I eventually returned to and finished college (getting my A.A. & Bachelor's degrees in Administration of Justice). While in college, I played collegiate basketball, and semi pro football. I continued on with my dream to record music, making my first recording in 1987 of the songs “Her”, “Season Of Love”, & Angel Of My Dreams”, writing all the music myself and playing all the instruments.
I currently write music for film & television as well as for up and coming artists.
