Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida Uncle Reece has a plan. He also has a message. And even more so, he has a purpose. Though it would be easy for most music listeners to classify Uncle Reece as a Gospel artist the Jacksonville, Florida native has already carved out his own path. “I really didn’t fit anywhere, so I quit trying to fit in,” says the singer/rapper who’s musical style meshes together Gospel, Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae and, Contemporary Christian. With the release of BOLD, Uncle Reece is ready to preach the good word of God through his music. For a young African-American male growing up on the streets of Jacksonville, Florida it was hard to hear God’s message.… Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida Uncle Reece has a plan. He also has a message.

For a young African-American male growing up on the streets of Jacksonville, Florida it was hard to hear God’s message. Raised in a Christian household Uncle Reece’s parents gave him a choice at the age of 13, not wanting to force his hand and make him go to church. “I got a chance to see what real Christianity was, and then I got to see the fake. What my parents had was real, and that’s why they asked me to do what I believe,” he says. He decided not to go. It would be a few years before he rediscovered his faith. “I met some Christians, some people my age that loved me for no reason. It was kinda crazy.” — Uncle Reece
