The tall and radiant singer was first noticed by an icon at a Verve concert. Wanting to soak up the magnificence that is The Verve from center stage, Reni bypassed her seat and cozied up into the front row.

The two immediately hit it off and Mick offered to photograph, which got things started for Reni.
