Charlotte, NC based self-taught singer/producer Deion Reverie (born Montavis Deion Funderburk) has really began to make a name for himself. Shifting from post-hardcore and indie rock to slow, rhythmic electronic R&B led to Deion being discovered by frequent collaborator RedHookNoodles Beats, a Tampa based hip hop producer. Redhooknoodles discovered Deion in 2015 via Pandora Radio and immediately reached out to Deion on Twitter. Since then, they have made accumulated over 500,000 views on YouTube as a duo leading to a collaboration between Deion Reverie and Connecticut based Rapper, Witt Lowry. Deion appears on the track "Better for Me" on Witt Lowry's chart topping album "I Could Not Plan This."


"You can hear elements of the mainstream R&B he listened to as a small child; the strumming and picking of the acoustic indie-folk he played in middle school; the narrative thread of Green Day's American Idiot; the rock sounds he absorbed from artists ranging from Prince to Led Zeppelin to My Chemical Romance; and the more experimental electronic music of current influences like Lapalux and XXYYXX.


And you can hear The Weeknd." Said Mark Kemp in his 2017 Creative Loafing article on Deion Reverie.
