J.R REYNE
J.R. Reyne has been performing for as long as he can remember; whether on-stage or in the studio with award-winning artists and producers, or lending his acting talents to myriad productions spanning throughout his extensive career.
J.R has always taken his own path, whether releasing his debut album at the age of 20 (‘Album of the Week’ – Daily Telegraph), fronting bands ‘Rushcutter’ & ‘The Paradise Three’ (‘Artist you should know about’ – Rolling Stone), or taking his solo-show (‘Armed with a mesmerising voice, harmonica and guitar’ – Broadsheet), across the globe, gracing the bills of world-renowned festivals, and touring alongside illustrious artists.
Having returned to Australia from being based in the U.S. and touring Europe with Cat Power, J.R. wasted no time releasing ‘Baby Tonight’ to the airwaves (Triple M Artist of the Week), and landing the lead in Paul Kelly’s musical ‘Deeper Water’ with costar Missy Higgins.
Reyne recorded the accompanying album in Auckland in 2019 at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios, just before returning to Australia to open for US hit‐makers ‘Train’ on their sellout national tour.
Having previous starred roles in shows such as Neighbours, Winners & Losers, J.R. also played Dan Delaney in Channel Seven’s number one TV show ‘The Secret Daughter’, alongside Jessica Mauboy. The accompanying, ARIA #1 Record’s “The Secret Daughter” & “The Secret Daughter 2” Soundtrack’s – which feature hits performed by Reyne and Mauboy – earned Reyne an ARIA nomination.
J.R is currently the voice of ABC and stars as guest role ‘Emmett’ on Network Seven’s Home and Away.
Full of charm & charisma, J.R has also been involved in the fashion & advertising industry for many years, having shot with numerous iconic brands such as Myer, Nike, Lexus, Country Road, MJ Bale & Levi’s to name a few.
