Twenty-four year old Reggie Collins aka Juice grew up in Gary, Indiana in the projects, one block away from Jackson Street where Michael Jackson grew up. He and his family moved away at the end of his freshman year of high school. He went to school at Lew Wallace, but it was in Roosevelt territory and his mom didn't want him to go to school with kids he knew, so she sent him to where she went to school. They later moved to Dallas, TX to the suburb city of Mesquite, where Reggie would change from playing basketball to football because he was now in a TEXAS FOOTBALL STATE, so this was his opportunity to have the big stage. At the end of his junior year his family moved to nearby Garland, Texas, where he played ball for Lakeview Centennial. Reggie played one year of college football, but didn’t like it. “I didn't like football because it was like a job and I work for myself, ONLY.”

Reggie comes from a musical inclined family, among other talents. He says his mom is his biggest inspiration. “She does it all and has been doing it all since I was born. Growing up and watching her in the studio, doing her craft, what she loves (singing) and watching how she had fun doing it, instilled that same craft in me. The talent has trickled down through my family. So now, to this day, I still can't get tunes out my head, which is lovely for me. Lol! People around be like, “you just make music out of anything.” I’m really not into fashion, radio or TV. I'm always on the go, busy and focusing on getting my movement off the ground, as an artist. I’ve faced a lot of challenges which have helped me to be the man I am now. Facing situations and challenges is an everyday, life thing. You’re fighting battles every step you take to make sure it doesn’t hurt your walk. Right now, my challenges are getting my whole entire family off their feet and living good, doing what they want to; what I dreamed about doing as a child. So however I have to do that, to make it happen, I’m going to keep working until my name is paved with gold. My main goal is take care of my entire family, so I'm building my Promotion Company /Distribution Company, where I'll be Walmart’s biggest threat online. Lol! My Drops will be out at the beginning of January 2016. Right now, I'm on a 50-state
