Reyez shares, “My relationship with success has been a little convoluted for a long time. I was scared of it when I first got started in the industry. It was an ongoing joke that I would give away a lot of my hits because I write a lot of music for other people as well. To be honest, maybe they were right. But the operative word here is WERE. I’ve done un-packing, some of it has to do with being the underdog for too long, another has to do with not having been born rich, and almost feeling like all of the success that I’ve been lucky enough to have feels like a jacket that was too tight. But I’ve been in the gym, I’ve been growing my biceps, I’ve been becoming more familiar with feeling at home. I’m reaping the fruits from the seeds I’ve buried years ago. And I’ve been lucky enough that my success has not just come materially. I’ve been really fortunate that along with the heartbreak, I’ve had beautiful love stories. Along with people that I’ve lost along the way, I’ve had people that stuck it out with me. I’ve been paid in more ways than one, and luckily, I’ve been well paid in memories.”
Known for her fearless lyricism and emotive performances, Reyez continues to captivate listeners with her unique blend of R&B, soul, and contemporary pop. She most recently released previous singles “PSILOCYBIN & DAISIES”, “GOLIATH”, “JUST LIKE THAT” with Ari Lennox, “RIDIN” with Lil Wayne, “SHUT UP” with Big Sean, and “JEANS” with Miguel - which garnered press praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Tonight, HotNewHipHop, American Songwriter, Uproxx, Stereogum, VIBE. Last year, Reyez released a USA Today Best Selling book of poetry, Words of a Goat Princess, contributed to Netflix’s Rebel Moon soundtrack with “Child of Fire” single, and delivered a unique rendition of “Is This Love” featured on the Bob Marley: One Love - Music Inspired by Film soundtrack, which won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album.
Following her run as a supporting act on transcendent pop artist Sam Smith’s GLORIA tour in 2023, Reyez dominated the stage at Lollapalooza 2024 in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile as well as recently making tour stops throughout Australia and Asia. In November, Reyez played Corona Capital festival in Mexico City, and in December, she joined a slew of live shows at arenas across the US on Jhené Aiko’s The Magic Hour Tour. A hitmaker behind the scenes, Reyez has penned hit songs for Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Kehlani, LISA (BLACKPINK) and Calvin Harris. In 2024, she was awarded Billboard Canada’s Women in Music Trailblazer Award and recognized as a 2024 TikTok Visionary Voice for Latin Heritage Month.
Reyez is still charting strong with her hit songs “Imported” featuring Grammy Nominated artist 6LACK which recently went 2x platinum, and “Figures”, also RIAA certified 2x platinum, while she continues to build a massive and loyal fanbase, now spanning over 3B streams worldwide across all streaming platforms. Her second studio album Yessie was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize, and her debut album Before Love Came to Kill Us recently reached RIAA-Gold Certified, stamping her as a significant pillar on the music landscape upon the release of PAID IN MEMORIES.
