My name is “Renny J” and I'm from Brooklyn, NY, and I've been playing bass for over 45 years. My grandfather & father (Reunald Sr. & Jr. respectively) were well known & accomplished trumpet players who have played with artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, The Famous Flames, (James Brown), & Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., to name a few.
Because of my unique bass playing style, I played with the funk band, Parliament/Funkadelic (“Clones of Dr. Funkenstein” album), and have recorded with artists such as Donna Summer (“Bad Girls” album), Debra Laws, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys, Teena Marie, and many other artists in genres of Pop, R & B and Jazz. I also play rhythm guitar & keyboards. I also currently produce music for film & television, as well as for other artists and various projects.
