Hello!
My name is Reni. I'm a Brooklyn-based classical pianist and band geek turned songwriter. As a devout specialist of Disney music and ghostly harmonies, I make music with talented people (lucky me!), play shows, and write about my DIY lifestyle.
Please take a look around my digital campsite and warm your hands by the pixelated fire. Download some songs on the house and check out a live performance if you like what you hear.
