Regina Regina

The duo consisted of female singers Regina Leigh and Regina Nicks, respectively natives of North Carolina and Lufkin, Texas.

[1] Leigh was formerly a backing vocalist in Reba McEntire's road band, while Nicks was a personal assistant for McEntire and a former member of Dave & Sugar.

[2] The two met through the assistance of producer Wally Wilson, who wanted to include Nicks in a female duo.

Nicks felt that she was unable to find a suitable singing partner until Leigh heard one of her demos and decided that she wanted to work with Nicks.

The two were brought to Giant Records then-president James Stroud in 1995.
