Musical career

Before Accept

Reece grew up in Oklahoma,^[1] making his recording debut with Dare Force in 1989. He also recorded vocals for a demo for Sacred Child. He was replaced by Astrid Young before their album recording, but the demos were included on a re-release of their debut.^[2]

With Accept

See the article about Eat the Heat. After many auditions, Reece was chosen to be the new Accept singer. He and the rest of the band produced a different sounding album than those of early Accept albums. The tour was cancelled and he was fired as the singer.

After Accept

After being sacked from Accept, he formed Bangalore Choir and released an album with them. The band included members of Hericane Alice - a band for which Reece had declined to record demo vocals earlier due to his involvement with Lillian X - a partnership which never resulted in any recorded material.^[3] The following years he released two albums with Sircle of Silence with Larry Farkas from Vengeance Rising, Jay Schellen from Hurricane and Greg Chaisson, formerly of Badlands.^[4] He then released an album with American band Stream.^[5]

In 2007, Reece joined Swedish band Gypsy Rose, releasing an album with them the following year.^[6]

Reece released his first solo album on August 28, 2009. His band consists of Andy Susemihl (ex-U.D.O.), Stefan Schwarzmann (formerly with U.D.O., currently also with Accept) and Jochen Fünders (ex-Holy Moses).
