Early life

Margo Rey was born Margarita Reymundo in Acapulco, Mexico and grew up in Dallas, Texas. She was raised close to the Dallas music scene, and began performing at the age of 11.[4] Margo’s musical training was in classical voice, harmony study, and ear training – even competing in classical pieces in college.[6] She is able to sing in six languages and has performed in 10 countries.[7]

Career

Margo has also been the lead singer in Debutante – an all female rock band.[7] Margo became a popular commercial vocalist for Juniper Music (IMAX, Tabasco, McDonalds).[4] She has been the voice in many TV commercials and national advertising for the likes of American Airlines, Dillards, Frito-Lay and PepsiCo; performing in both English and Spanish.[7] She also has been the voice in animated movies, including the 2008 film Beverly Hills Chihuahua.[8] Margo as a Jazz/Pop singer began as a dare, while dining one evening, she was coaxed into performing, prompting the venue’s owner to hire her immediately. .[7] Margo has performed with many well-respected musicians in the Jazz and Pop community including Roy Hargrove, James Clay, Cy Coleman, Earl Harvin and Earl Klugh.[2])

She has described her musical style as "organica – an unorthodox hybrid of Pop that is deeply rooted in Jazz with thick, ethno-rhythmic grooves created by humans, not machines, and textured with lush vocals, keys and ambient guitar arrangements".[9]

Margo Rey is currently signed with Organica Music Group (distributed through Universal Music Group) – a record label venture between Ron White (her husband) and former President of 2K/Virgin Records Music Division and 5-time Grammy nominee, Michael Blakey.[10]

Personal life

Rey is married to comedian Ron White. Her brother is comedian Alex Reymundo.
