Shareese Renèe Ballard, better known as Res (pronounced reese) is a female R&B singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her music is a mixture of soul, hip hop, and rock. She released her debut album, How I Do, in 2001 featuring the first single "Golden Boys". In spite of the video's heavy rotation on VH1, the song was not a hit on radio. Later the same year she released her second single "Ice King" featuring rapper Nas, unfortunately, like "Golden Boys" the song did not appeal to a mainstream audience and a video was never released for the single. in 2002 she released her third (and first hit) single "They Say Vision" which hit number one on the Billboard Dance chart and number 37 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. With the success of the single, the album entered the Billboard 200 for the first time. A fourth single, "Sittin Back", was also released. After a near four year hiatus she is currently working on her sophomore effort due out in 2007. She has been heard playing new material like "For Who You Are" & "On My Way" at local performances.
