"Reign Lee’s latest CD, Broken Skylines is a tour de force of catchy alternative rock, passionate lyrics and pop sensibility…an outstanding CD…” – Skope Magazine   Reign was born off the beaten track in the town of Hamilton, Ontario - worlds away from the shores of Hong Kong. But somewhere in between, over the course of the years, she has lived, worked, and studied in Ontario, Alberta, Arizona, Beijing, Illinois, New York & Hong Kong. Born to a European-Canadian mother & a Chinese father, Reign's multi-cultural background helped sow the seeds for her restless travels to the ends of the world. After years of playing in clubs & bars all across the globe, Reign's musical journey was hyper-charged into motion after securing a gig to a packed house at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco in 2004. The multi-instrumentalist has created her own independent label for her releases called Vereign Records. Her first full-length collection of songs on the limited edition LP, "Open State," spawned a #1 listener's choice song, "Weaker States" on indie beginning radio on-line. With the release of her album, "BROKEN SKYLINES," ABC networks indie music showcase, Fame Games, singled out her popular song, 'HELENA,' after finding her on MySpace and quickly put the song into rotation.
