Renée Geyer’s past is Australian music history. Her career has spanned four decades and is still going strong. A precocious jazz, blues and soul singer in her late teens; Countdown royalty in her 20s; a string of pop, soul and reggae hits spanning the 70s and 80s; her LA years in the studio with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Sting, Joe Cocker and Chaka Khan; her 90s renaissance with Paul Kelly. She is a singer, a songwriter, producer and author.

Renee’s career began around 1971 in Sydney, when a girlfriend took her along to the rehearsal of friends who were forming a band. From there, things began to snowball. Her reputation found its way to America and leg to an invitation to record an album in Los Angeles with famed Motown producer Frank Wilson. While the Movin’ Along album provided another hit at home, in America, Heading In The Right Direction created confusion. R&B stations loved the record, but didn’t know what to do when they discovered Geyer was a white Jewish girl from Australia. For the next few years, Renee bounced between Australia and America, and released albums which included So Lucky, Difficult Woman and Sweet Life. Her career has never stalled. At the end of 1999, Geyer released her frank life story – Confessions Of A Difficult Woman through Harper Collins, and 2003 saw her release the Gold selling (and self-produced) album Tenderland.

In 2004, Renee hooked up with Brisbane producer Magoo to co-produce her 21st album, Tonight, which has received stunning reviews and was nominated for an ARIA award. In 2005, Renee was inducted in to the ARIA Hall Of Fame; a proud occasion in which she joined the ranks of Australia’s most respected and accomplished musicians.

2007 was to be a busy one for Renee, who worked on her 22nd album, Dedicated, released on EMI in September. With a plethora of select appearances around the country, she remains one of our most enduring and endearing artists.

In 2010, Renee release The Ultimate Collection, covering four decades of Soul. Whether in the studio or on stage, this is where Renee Geyer is home and continues to wow audiences with her remarkable voice. 2012 saw Renee notch up 40 years in the music business, and to celebrate this amazing anniversary, Renee recorded a big band swing album – something that no female artist has ever endeavoured to do in this country.
