Reece has been singing since the age of 8 when he joined St. Paul's Cathedral Choir in London as a chorister. After 5 years at St. Paul's he was awarded a music scholarship to Highgate school in London, and went on to study music at the University of Lancaster in the UK, where he majored in voice, conducting, music technology and music psychology. Since returning to Australia in 2003 he has sung with the Sydney Philharmonia Motet Choir and Sydney Chamber Choir. After two years working in Tonga, where in his spare time he organised a series of music concerts for the late King George V, Reece returned to Australia again in 2011 and has been singing with The Cafe since 2012.
