Renee Dion, known throughout the region for her sultry style, has collaborated with a number of well-known Nu/Neo Soul entertainers including Eric Roberson, Jesse Boykins III, and N’Dambi. Though it has taken Dion nearly a decade to cultivate her sound, she is now ready to share her unique musical blend of Jazz, Hip Hop and Soul with the rest of the world. Her most recent album releases include the hypnotic “The City That Never Sleeps” and the dynamic “Rhapsody Inn”. Each LP showcases Dion’s growth as an artist and her willingness to take chances within an increasingly stagnant Hip Hop scene.
