South Florida-based Former child prodigy Soul-Blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist REGGIE KING SEARS is back in 2025 with a new album titled "Crowned and Dangerous" that expands on his signature "Ghetto Soul" sound, which is a mix of Contemporary R&B, Funk, down-home Blues, Southern Soul, Neo-Soul, Rock and Hip Hop that will satisfy his ever-growing fan-base and sets him up to reach a larger and broader demographic.

Sears, now 33, has spent most of his life as a professional musician, became a mainstay on the international R&B, Funk and Blues circuit and has received praise and earned respect from legends and contemporaries alike.

While witnessing a powerful set by Sears and band at his world-famous venue, Blues legend Buddy Guy was so moved by their performance that he joined their set and sang a string of songs with them, along the way calling the young man a "bad motherf**ker." 

G. Love (G Love and Special Sauce) declares Reggie as "one of the top guitarists in the world, so you better listen." Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Solomon Burke proclaimed him to be "The Future"; Christone "Kingfish" Ingram said "my friend Reggie Sears is a Florida legend. This guy's been doing it long before me and is truly the real deal. Check him out."

And none other than the legendary King of the Blues B.B. King appointed Reggie as one of the 21^st century torchbearers when he told him "Keep on picking young man and keep the music alive".

Brad Shultz co-founder of Grammy-award winning multi-platinum band Cage The Elephant said "One of the best guitarists I've seen. He put on a great show. I love his passion and energy."

International Blues artist Bernard Allison called him "a bad*ss upcoming guitar player and singer, and the boy's got a lot of energy."  
Even legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bootsy Collins spoke of the power of Reggie's live show and the effect it has on an audience: "The Funk just funks you up on the spot! The audience starts to feel the power of the mushrooms! What a blast! Reggie, keep funkin' 'um up!"

And it's not only Blues artists who dig him. Noodles (lead guitarist and founding member of 40x platinum band The Offspring) said Reggie is "one of the best Blues guitarists of his generation”; Roland Orzabal (leader and lead singer of multi-million selling Tears For Fears) called Sears a “great talent”; and even producer-songwriter extraordinaire Phil Thornalley (The Cure, Paul McCartney, Duran Duran) described Reggie as "a consummate musician with such natural talents."

Though only 33 years old, Sears has been a professional musician for most of his life and paid his dues by touring the South's so-called Chittlin’ Circuit of ghetto bars, juke joints, and blues festivals Sears became a bona-fide entertainer, capable of dazzling audiences with his guitar skills, exciting them with his soulful vocals, engaging them with his natural stage presence and amazing them with his showmanship.

Hailing from Fort Lauderdale, FL, Sears is the son of an African American/Native American mother and a Caucasian father and is an example of the melting pot of culture that is South Florida. Raised in a low-income area in Fort Lauderdale's inner-city has no-doubt informed his tough, soulful Funky Blues sound.

At age 12, Sears befriended legendary guitarist Hubert Sumlin who taught and mentored him. Further encouragement from Buddy Guy and B.B. King confirmed that he was on the right track.
