Regan is a self-producing solo artist based in Milton Keynes, making pop songs shaped by a lifelong love of music and a wide range of influences, including Max Martin-era pop and R&B, and 80s rock guitars and drums. She simply wants to make songs that light her up, and hopes they'll do the same for whoever's listening.
She started writing songs at 13, immediately drawn in by Michelle Branch alongside the British and American pop of the late 90s and early 2000s; Billie Piper, Britney Spears, the golden run of Max Martin productions, and a love of UK Garage and underground sounds that would stay with her. Long before any of it was "retro," she was writing nostalgia songs as a teenager: by 16, she'd already written tracks about the 90s and the turn-of-the-millennium futurism of Y2K, years before either became a recognised aesthetic.
After leaving university early to pursue music seriously, she recorded her first professional sessions at London's iconic Tin Pan Alley. Around this time, she formed Ryker Sear, a band built around her vision for 80s-tinged pop rock, but that vision gradually narrowed as the band evolved, members left, and her instincts were repeatedly second-guessed. What remained as a duo released three songs, her favourite of which, "Don't Know Me," captured that feeling of having lost herself, before the pandemic and the sudden loss of her father brought that chapter to a close.
The years that followed were difficult. A period of significant personal and mental health struggle led her to therapy, and slowly, things began to shift. What came out the other side was a clear decision: to make music entirely on her own terms.
Now writing, producing, and recording independently using Cubase, Regan has found a level of creative freedom (vocally and otherwise) that she'd never had access to before. Her sound moves fluidly between her influences, letting each song become whatever it needs to be.
Her debut single "Glitter Party" channelled industry frustration into defiance; her follow-up "Break Myself" turns that same defiance closer to home, confronting people rather than a system. With full creative control and a clear sense of who she is, Regan is just getting started.
