Jaime Robbie Reyne[1] is an Australian singer-songwriter and actor.
Personal life
Reyne's parents are the rock singer James Reyne and English-born model/stylist Kim Ellmer. He was educated in Melbourne, Australia at Scotch College. He has a son.
Music career
Between 2003 and 2004, Reyne played solo gigs in London and festivals in Australia. 2005 saw the independent release of his debut solo acoustic EP, Tex Sessions. In 2006, he formed Jaime Robbie Reyne & The Paradise Three. In 2007, the band released their debut mini-Album, Fallen Flower, (through Green Media/MGM Distribution) to critical acclaim, from many publications including Rolling Stone (Australia). The release was followed up with a national tour and performances at festivals including St Kilda Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Sovereign Hill Music Festival and The Australian Country Music Muster. Reyne then formed the group, Rushcutter with Vincent Daniele (guitar), Tim Wheatley (bass) and Brett Wolfenden (drums) in 2008. Wheatley is the son of Glenn Wheatley, and manages the band.[2] They soon started writing and producing demos and playing headline shows in Melbourne, before disembarking to the United States. Upon returning to Australia in early 2009, Rushcutter were signed to Mercury Records/Universal working with American producer Niko Bolas on their debut release, Call High Water at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios. The four track EP was released in 2009, with the title track becoming The Australian's song of the week.[3] The next and final release for Rushcutter was 2010's "Foreign Soil" - ("a classic rock sound, with a contemporary pop-rock twist" The Music Network). After touring Australia, Rushcutter split due to "creative differences" and Reyne returned to his solo career, touring Australia with Pat Benatar and The Bangles, as well as playing shows with Cloud Control, Thirsty Merc and Richard Clapton. His debut solo single "Remember To Breathe" ("a fine slice slice of rollicking pop" Jeff Jenkins, Inpress) was released in 2011. Reyne toured "Remember To Breathe" throughout Australia and the US.
Acting career
Reyne has appeared on many television shows, including Neighbours[4] (where he played Taj Coppin, first appearing in 2002), and Horace and Tina. His theatre and film productions include Diablo is Done For, Evolution, Snow White, and G7.
In 2016, Reyne played Dan Delaney in the television series The Secret Daughter alongside Jessica Mauboy.
