Rene inherited a rich modern Latin music tradition from his father (renowned salsa musician Rene Lopez, Sr.), but over the past 20 years he has built a legacy on his own terms, blurring lines between funk, hip-hop, rock, jazz, EDM, and pop while, along the way, working with a diverse roster of icons. Rene’s groundbreaking band in the 1990s, The Authority, blazed through the boundaries of hip-hop, Latin, and funk, playing gigs alongside P-Funk, The Meters, and Fishbone, earning accolades from jam band fanatics and hip-hop heads, who used to pack like sardines into The Wetlands and Nightingales to see them. Later, Rene started the band Wasabi with the legendary John Popper (Blues Traveler).
Today, Rene embraces a new era of his creativity with his Jam Of The Month Club song series. “Restless” is the newest addition to the series of free monthly tracks.
“I went back to the studio, locked the door, and got back to what I loved,”
the New York-based singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist recalls.
“I still feel like a kid, new ideas keep pouring out and I feel like I have an open palette to work with.”
The toying with variety can definitely be heard on his newest track “Restless”. Rene is known for his FUNK and sexy antics, but on “Restless” Rene is laying down his guard and being his most vulnerable. His newest track finds him restless for help, and that’s something we all could use an anthem for.
