Meet regina hicks | recording artist and radio personalty on the straight like that show

We had the good fortune of connecting with regina hicks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi regina, what are you inspired by?
I’m inspired by life and my life experiences. i use that to do what i do wheater its in regards to my muisc or with the radioshow/podcast

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m an award-winning independent recording artist and songwriter and the host of the straight Like That Podcast, im most proud of the music iv made. I’m very proud of the award that ive been nominated for and won and even the ones i didnt win but to be recognized by my peers in music is a great accomplishment. the highlight of my career was the opportunity to intervie oscar winner and queen of comedy Monique at the height of the Netflix scandal. she was so funny and real and i learned alot from her by listening to her wisdom.

no it has not been easy being a trans woman in R&b music is kinda unheard of ive had to create my own lane while making sure that my music i what represents me and not usin the fact that I’m trans as a gimmick to be heard. i overcame by making good music. music, good music is universal if it sounds good makes you feel something that’s whats important.

ive earned to be true to myself. to keep my own opinions and maintain my integrity even why my vies may differ from my peers or people in front of me.

i want to world to say they enjoyed my music and enjoyed the show
