Once a songwriter, always a songwriter. Reggie Calloway is reaching all the way back to create an oh-so familiar groove that is as now, as it was then. As a Grammy-nominated songwriter, artist, producer, and music industry executive, Reggie Calloway continues to define himself as a bright light in the soundtrack of our lives. 

Best known as the founder and leader of the techno-funk group, Midnight Star, Reggie Calloway led the band to international success writing, producing, and arranging the group’s string of #1 hits in the early 80s. Hit songs like “Operator," “No Parking On The Dance Floor,” and “Freak-a-zoid” prompted performances and success around the world. While signed to Solar Records, the group introduced a genre-defining fusion of synth-funk and R&B music with its chart-topping singles and double platinum album release, No Parking On The Dance Floor. 

Reggie Calloway and his younger brother, Vincent Calloway, went on to perform as R&B duo, Calloway, following their time together in Midnight Star. In 1990, the duo reached #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with hit song, “I Wanna Be Rich,” followed by popular singles, “Sir Lancelot,” “You’re My Everything,” “All The Way,” and “Let’s Get Smooth.” As lifelong collaborators, the duo’s latest single, “Politics,” a message to encourage listeners to exercise their power to vote, was met with a highly anticipated release in October 2020. 

In addition to being a seasoned performer, Reggie Calloway defined himself as a sought-after producer and songwriter working with Klymaxx (“Meeting in The Ladies Room”) and The Deele (“Body Talk”) in the early 80s. Calloway continued to find opportunity and success in collaborating with some of the biggest names in music, penning songs for the chart-topping group, Levert ("Casanova"), the sultry, Teddy Pendergrass ("Joy"), the Grammy-winning Gladys Knight, ("Love Overboard”), and the timeless Natalie Cole (“Jump Start”). Proving his ability to break age barriers in collaboration with younger artists, Calloway earned a spot on *NSYNC’s 11x platinum album, No Strings Attached, with the song “I’ll Be Good For You.”

It’s no surprise that the music pioneer received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song in 1987 for Levert’s “Casanova,” followed by Grammy nominations for his work with Gladys Knight & The Pips, Teddy Pendergrass, and Natalie Cole.
