Every so often, an artist surfaces that commands our attention every time they minister through music and word. South Carolina native Regina Reneé Skeeters is such an artist.
With a soaring voice, boundless energy, and unmovable faith, Regina is recognized as one of the most innovative, risk-taking artists today. Often referred to as God’s Oracle of Worship,” Regina dedicated her life to the anointed delivery of gospel music at an early age. Born on August 2nd to Jean Blain Skeeters and, the late Eugene Skeeters, Regina began to develop her gift of song while singing at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Conway, S.C. and with various groups well into her high school years.
But it was during her college days at Benedict College in Columbia, SC that Regina blossomed and blazed new trails with her golden voice and undeniable writing ability. She was voted top alto vocalist at the National Collegiate Gospel Competition. She co-wrote, arranged and sang lead vocals on the soulful hit "Put All My Trust" for the Benedict College Gospel Choir's debut album (Say the Word) in 2000. The song was voted the Most Requested Song of 2001 on the nationally recognized inspirational radio station -Gospel 95.3 WFMV- in Columbia, South Carolina. She also co-wrote "Will You Be Ready" on Hymns of Preparation with national recording artist Terence Young. In October of 2004, Regina released her debut album entitled “Breathe On Me” and released the long-awaited EP “Relationship” in 2009.
Regina has shared the stage with numerous well-renowned recording artists such as: Beverly Crawford, The Gatlin Brothers, Jonathan Nelson, Ashford and Simpson, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Tonéx, Kim Burrell, J. Moss, Ricky Dillard, Donald Lawrence, the late Olanda Draper and many more. From motivational speaking to her delivery of soul-stirring song, God has allowed Regina to travel across the country nationally and internationally, relaying the message of strength and hope through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When not singing, Regina is still ministering through charity. As the founder of “Blend Out,” a non-profit organization for youth that focuses on low self-esteem, peer-pressure and abstinence, Regina continues to make a profound difference in the lives of people.
“I want to encourage people to embrace who God has called them to be “Why blend in when God has called us to blend out. I pray that my music is practical and reaches everyone that listens.”
Regina is also an actress in her own right. She landed the leading role in the stage play “If Only You Knew Why I Struggle to Trust God, ” by Tangie Beaty, as well as the role of Mary in Walter Rutledge’s “Soulful Noel” with Jennifer Holiday.
Regina has assisted music departments in various organizations including Perfecting Faith Ministries C.O.G.I.C, and Universal Outreach Ministries C.O.G.I.C. and Journey United Methodist Church . In April of 2009, Regina facilitated praise and worship workshops for C.O.G.I.C District 3 in Sao Paulo Brazil under Superintendant Ivo Mariano. Regina is a committed member of Life Center Ministries of Columbia. She also serves as one of the praise and worship leaders, under Bishop Brian D. Moore and Pastors Naté & Tarsha Jefferson.
