Honoring the Life and Legacy of Reggie Dozier

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Grammy Award–winning engineer and beloved member of our La Voix family, Reggie Dozier. Reggie was not only a part of our music community, but truly a part of our personal family as well.
Reggie made a remarkable and lasting impact on the world of music. As one of the foundational architects of modern commercial recording methods in the United States, his work shaped the sound of countless artists. His engineering on Outkast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below earned him the 2004 Grammy Award for Outstanding Engineering. He also engineered the soundtrack for Universal Pictures’ Endless Love, including the iconic Diana Ross and Lionel Richie duet that reached #1 on the Billboard charts and became the best-selling single of 1981.
But beyond his historic accomplishments, Reggie’s heart, generosity, and mentorship made him unforgettable. He was a true mentor to many of our students at La Voix Studio—always sharing his time, wisdom, and kindness. He believed deeply in our mission of music education, helping students master their craft, and giving back to the next generation of artists. He uplifted so many by encouraging them to continue their musical journeys.
One of our most cherished memories with Reggie was honoring him as our 2018 Golden Icon Award Honoree, a celebration that perfectly reflected his artistry, spirit, and influence. His presence at that event—not just as an honoree, but as a friend—will forever be remembered with warmth and gratitude.
