Born April 30th in Memphis, TN...Reggie Hamilton began singing at the age of 2 and playing instruments at the young age of
7 yrs old. Growing up in Memphis and in the church gave him a strong musical and spiritual background... with such Memphis
musical influences such as: Al Greene, Earth Wind and Fire, Isaac Hayes (his 2nd cousin) and many more national and world
renouned artists (Prince, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Luther Vandross, Will
Downing, Peabo Bryson, Patti Labelle, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Lena Horne, Stanley Turrentine,
Herbie Hancock, Quincey Jones, Barry Gordy, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, etc. and influences
from various styles of music (R&B, Jazz, Classical, Rap, Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Reggae, Funk, Dance, etc.) it was inevitable
that music and the music business was in his blood, thus his evolution as a artist with a thirst for musical and business
knowledge, experience, talent and showmanship. During the summer of 1981, at age 11, he taught himself how to play the piano
by ear. At the age of 14 (December 14, 1984) his quest as a songwriter and recording artist began; working diligently performing,
writing, producing, composing and pressing forward in his pursuits. By the age of 18 he was a well accomplished musician playing
a total of 19 instruments which by the age of 22 grew to the total of 27 instruments (including: violin, violas, cello, bass,
drums, piano, organ, synth keyboards, acoustic guitar, lead guitar and a host of various percussion instruments).
Presently,
Reggie Hamilton is an accomplished artist with a love for music and a passion for lyrical, vocal and musical expression. After
playing violins in a symphony orchestra for 3 yrs, playing and array of instruments in various bands, producing and creating
music for other artists, and eventually venturing out as a solo artist to continue in his musical evolution of over 21 years

EXODUS (4 CD Box Set) Liner Notes:
Through our journey down the road of life
in this chaotic and hellatious world that we live in; we seek to find a place of solice, a point of restoration, joy, love
and a peaceful state of being (mind, heart, body, spirit and soul). In the midst of this journey as we experience our joy
and pain; we encounter life's cathardic lessons that God allows us to go through in order for us to get to the point of where
HE wants us to be. And through these "lessons" (whether personally or vicariously though another person's experience),
we're blessed to grow into an untimate state of joy, love, strength, understanding and peace in our lives...thus the name
and the concept of this CD appropriately entitled "EXODUS".
Title Relativity:
In the aftermath of
sorrow, negativity and pain GOD will create a change, thus a "Renaissance" in you. Which will cause you to just
sit back and "Relax" in the peace that He gives to you. So in the midst of all of your interactions ypu'll learn
to "Let It Flow" and let things work in GOD's time and not yours (for all things work for good, for those who love
the Lord). In full submission to Him you'll find yourself "Spellbound" as ypu relate to HIM (Jesus Christ) and fall
in love with and become "married to" the the personification of word of GOD and all that it does to and for you.
(Lyrics from the song "Spellbound") "Just keep on doing how you do what you do to me, cause I like it and you've
got me.." As you are blessed with a person that he has placed in your life to bring you joy and happiness, you will find
yourselves with a true spiritual closeness than none can compare, thus saying i wanna get "N2U?" (mentally, spiritually,
romantically - to become ONE with you, to get into your heart and your soul). And "When U Need A Love" you'll find
there's no greater love sublime than the love of GOD and the loved one that HE physically places here in your midst for you.
Never forget that each person in your life is a gift from GOD, they are there for a purpose in your life. Honor and cherish
that person for GOD is housed inside of them...there isn't another individual like you, so its ALWAYS an honor and a priviledge
2 be in your midst 4 GOD is inside U. In other words, "Do unto others as U would have them do unto U", for GOD will
blessyou to see "The Dawn" of a new day with peace in your heart and no stress or worries of you every doing wrong
to any of His children. Retribution, judgement and reprecussions do come back on those who do wrong in ANY form (minor or
major)...get the point? As we continue to grow and dive into "The Abyss" of life; we find ourselves "Moving
On" from the rubbish, the dogma and negativity from the past and rising from the state of feeling ..."Indigo Blue";
giving GOD a "Prayer From The Soul" in aspirations of coming fully into "The Essence" of HIM...thus bringing
U into an untimate "Utopia". This musical work is a mere exemplification of the joy and peace that I've been blessed
to now enter into...thus a form of praise (Praise comes in many forms - musical, verbal, physical, etc.). By dealing with
fake friends, lost loves, heartaches, lies, deception, plights of the flesh, pain, disappointments, abrupt loss of material
things (home, car and finance) and loved ones, various attacks of envy, jealousy, misery, depression, negativity and negative
people, internal reflections, weight loss of over 120 pounds and spiteful outside acknowledgements of the "bloopers"
of my past and other mishaps that I've encountered; has brought me to this state of being. for through those trials and tribulations,
God was and is fashioning me to become all of what He wishes and wants me to be (to be a beacon of light to all I come in
contact with) ...thus making me a much stronger person than before and positioning me to be more apt to overcome all things,
on a higher level, with what future encounters (both positive and negative) lie ahead. Remember to always P.U.S.H. (Pray/Praise
Until Something Happens), even in the midst of your storm, your breakthrough (your peace, joy, mate, finances, business, elevation
in life, etc) is on the way. Like Shadrach, Meshack and Abendigo we all have our "firey furnace" that we encounter
(bills, relationships, friends, family, job, envy, greed, deception, lies, slander, games, etc.) and as those spiritual flames
try to engulf us and take us under; we should remember that in the midst of chaos there is peace. But through continuous prayer
and a firm belief in GOD, we all can and shall be blessed to come out of those "storms of life" as pure gold into
a state of peace and restoration...thus a "EXODUS". Find the EXODUS with yourself and live life to the fullest EVERYDAY.
So to all of "The Negatives" (you know who you are); through all of the pain, hurt, deception, lies, envy, jealousy,
etc that you've caused and shown 2 the world and also through the self enflictions that I allowed myself to go through. I'd
like to say... thank you for being you...for you forced me to look within myself, tap into the GODforce within and exemplify
the GREATNESS of HIM. Thus my new found state of peace, my joy, my love, my heart, my "EXODUS". Enjoy...
