Renee Lopez

Renee Lopez, born August 13, 1980 in Long Island, New York is an American singer-songwriter, composer, producer and the founding vocalist/front-woman for the active American metal/rock band Sever Our Scars, aka S.O.S., formerly Shadow Of Seven. Lopez started her musical journey at a very young age. Coming from a musically inclined family she was always putting energy into singing, writing and playing various instruments, including the guitar in her younger years. Since that time, she has worked on a number of musical projects over the years from fronting the rock/metal bands Kaymin and Candelario to other various side projects and collaborative's ranging in genre such as; Eden Lysari, composing for commercial projects within TV/Film, creating material for Scion, Nike, indie horror films, and so forth. She has also worked alongside other notable acts and musicians on collaborations/guest appearances such as Johny Chow (Stone Sour, Fireball Ministry, Cavalera Conspiracy), Jimi Fist (Kicking K8), Karen Karsh, Johnnie Johnson and others, but she is best known for her time spent as the front-woman of the progressive rock/metal outfit; Purge. Beyond musical endeavors, Renee Lopez is also an entrepreneur and the owner of Lewd & Crude Greetings, a novelty based greeting card & merchandise line formed in 2007 in San Diego, CA as well as a small jewelry & accessory line called Rebel L. A long time writer of various editorials, Lopez was asked by Sam Roon (Hung bassist, Sony Music/Roadrunner) to come on board in late 2010 as a writer and weekly columnist for the popular NY based online music, networking/news site & community, SkullsNBones and their sister site; Hear Evil (formerly SexyNBrutal). After irreconcilable differences led to her departure from the project in 2011, she proceeded to start a new online weekly column on her own in June 2012 appropriately titled "The Rant" which showcased articles covering varied topics from music and life all with the brutally honest edge and sarcastic, humorous tone to which her writing is known. Also notable throughout the years, Lopez has worked on various Acting and Modeling projects from guest appearances on A&E's Criss Angel Mindfreak, the CBS TV movie Surrender Dorothy starring Diane Keaton, Full Throttle Saloon on Tru TV, Veronica Mars (WB), Innervision, live television music performances/music videos and countless other appearances/shoots.
