Rene's artistry has earned recognition from some of R&B's most respected names. Legendary producer Teddy Riley publicly praised her acoustic rendition of Blackstreet's classic 'Before I Let You Go,' which also caught the attention of acclaimed vocalist and former Blackstreet lead singer Dave Hollister, who has since become a mentor to Rene.
