North Carolina singer-songwriter Regina Vandereijk has unveiled her debut single, “WAKE UP BOY,” as the first release from her forthcoming album THE LORD IS THERE.
This track introduces listeners to Regina’s unique blend of acoustic singer-songwriter genre infused with elements of indie, folk, and alternative pop rock. Characterised by its nostalgic guitar solos and emotive vocal delivery, the song offers a compelling melody and message.
“WAKE UP BOY” carries deep personal and spiritual significance. Written for a family member battling depression, the song was composed as a prayer and performed as a gesture of love and hope. Regina describes the track as a call to friendship and transformation, rooted in the Biblical concept of repentance.
In her words, repentance isn’t merely about turning away from darkness; it’s about embracing light, starting fresh, and walking in relationship with Jesus, the light of the world.
Regina’s upcoming album THE LORD IS THERE reflects her deeply rooted faith and personal experiences. Each song is inspired by scripture and moments of encountering God, aiming to meet listeners where they are in their own stories.
Her music invites Christians and seekers alike to process life’s trials, find solace in faith, and discover the presence of Jesus.
Beyond her music, Regina is a worship leader and co-founder of the Royal Increase discipleship school in Gouda, Netherlands, where she collaborates with her husband, Willo. Together, they mentor a collective of artists, focusing on fostering creativity and spiritual growth.
Originally from North Carolina, Regina’s artistry is shaped by the rich musical traditions of the Southern Appalachians, including folk, gospel, blues, and country. This heritage, combined with her passion for worship, has helped her craft a style that feels authentic.
As Regina prepares for the release of THE LORD IS THERE, “WAKE UP BOY” serves as a touching introduction to her music and ministry.
