Why this name?
Pretty self-explanitory...do you not soooo agree? Yet, I would like to clear up a common misunderstanding. Renee Walker is my Real Name and is in my Passport! It is not a made up name or an Artists Alias and I certainly, didn´t knick it from 24 with Kiefer Sutherland!!! hahaha! As I have been performing under the name Renee since, I was 13 and under the name Renee Walker for the past (yes, feel free to count them each, individually), 20 years!!!
And if you´re trying to do the math...I was a child bride...my Elters "signed" for me...and I took on the last name Walker. We are divorced now...oh, some 18 years but, I kept the name to coincide with my Daughters Surname.

Do you play live?
I live for the vibe of LOVE... I mean LIFE, of course!!! Being able to really let it all out and see immediately how this all acts and reacts with one another...is LIFE! We play all over Germany, Luxemburg along with Austria and Switzerland.Used to play in Fla.(Ft.Walton Beach, Panama City, Edgewater, Pensacola) And had a band in NJ for a while around 87.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, after 11 & a 1/2 years of being a Soundclick member....its pretty plain to see that slowly BUT, surely....the air is getting thinner for Monopole-like companies and the Independents are carving their MARK!!! Thanx to Prince & George Michael for sparking this evolution! Along with thousands of other PIONEERS, forming this NEW SYSTEM that´s been LONG overdue!!!!!! Give the people, the music THEY want!!!!!! YEAH! Power 2 the People!!!!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure as long as I had my own independent lable, my own finished product and I OWN @least 50% ....why not!?!?!
Band History:
A deep and charismatic artist, who after "the beginnings" of 6 years violin, 2 of piano, 4 years of Drama and Musicals training and 2 (early)years of ballet and 1 of modern & jazz dance, finally became involved in the live band scene in Florida in 1985 and New Jersey in 1987 & 1988, before mixing it up in Europe in 1989. Digging into diverse studio work with for example, ex-bass from "Rainbow", Jimmy Bain, Ralph Zang (producer:Julia Nigel/Chaka Kahn) (some lead, some backrounds, some writing and arranging.) and as opening act for a colorful schmoargesborg of Artists and Entertainers, like: Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, Uriah Heep and Saxon, the Sweet, Ten Years After, Nina (99 Red Balloons), Banana Fishbones and Lou Bega & playing bunches of German Radio Festivals and other multi-group performances with various artists, such as: N-Sync, Mr. President, Masterboy, Haddaway, Worlds Apart, Inner Circle (hi, Stoney!), Scatman John, Caught in the Act, Andru Donalds, Londonbeat, Dr. Alban, Right Said Fred, Xavier Naidoo and more... Playing around 90-100 concerts a year (not counting my guest appearances with- ME & the Heat, Sean Treacy Band, US2U, Session All Stars, Renée Walker & Friends, Session Possible, Rock Club HD, Rock Show Schwäbisch Hall, BBB International & soon with two more bands that I will be fronting- KHALIDA & DREAMWALKER) and loving it!!!
Your influences?
Influenced by all good music from the Classics (Mozart, Vivaldi,Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Bach and Bethoven naturally,2!)to the 20s and 40s & 50s ( Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Bing, Frank,Judy Garland (and her daughter Liza) Elvis, Aretha, James, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee the Rock Revolution (Beatles,Led Zep, Jimmy, Joe C., Joan B., Ms. Mitchel, the Who,Simon & Garfunkel, CCR, Boston, Kansas, Earth Wind and Fire ect.) 60s and 70s, didnt hybernate during the 80s danced my fair share of the hustle with the Grown-ups at family parties! And caught a few bars from Barry White, Gloria Gaynor, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Donna Summer,Barbara Streisand and Diana Ross, Gloria Estefan. (there was also, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett and Heart,Tom Petty &the H.B.s,Journey,Foriegner, Billy Joel, Bruce and Jon Bon to keep ya warm on a cold Jersey night!!!), Went through long Musicals phase as a child. I WAS, "Annie" "Shirly Temple" and "Dorothy" from the "Wizard of Oz" & "The WIZ", "Fame(d)" literally, all over the place...Always was a Whitney, Prince and Madonna watcher!!.Did the New Wave/Punk lite, teen club scene (Depeche Mode, Berlin, Thomson Twins, Eurythmics, the Yazoo with Allison Moyet, Soft Cell and Violent Femmes, Clash,Adam Ant,Kate Bush,Talking Heads)In a class of their own: Peter Gabriel and the Police�s, Sting.Indigo Girls. Did Nirvana, FTP, Stone Temple Pilots, Chilis, Beasties,Living Color,Salt-n-Pepper, EnVogue,AC/DC(grin), Supergroove, and just about everything in between...and was thrilled to find Harder,raw and dirtier sounds being accepted on commercial hit radio! Today, although I still enjoy all of my old faves 2, its Kravitz, Kid Rock,Skunk Anansie, No Doubt,Macy Grey,Massive Attack. There are so many more Icons of Rock and Popular Music that have touched my soul...Id have to make a seperate site, to get them all under one roof!!!
Favorite spot?
Anywhere tropical...on a beach and in the Studio,at night!!!
Equipment used:
Vox...normal:lungs, air, throat, teeth, tongue & a healthy portion of charm, you know...!?! (heeheee!)
Anything else...?
Human people should be more considerate of human people!!! And everything else for that matter. Making Change Does Start With You!!! Show your love and give love freely...it will make your world a better place. A mirror somehow supported by a wire attatched to a neck brace, hanging directly in front of each human person...may help us all remember, how to do unto others...
