Reece Bibby, born on August 13, 1998, began his music career at a young age. In 2014, he participated in the eleventh season of The X Factor UK as a member of the boy band Stereo Kicks. The group achieved a fifth-place finish, gaining initial recognition for Bibby. Following the disbandment of Stereo Kicks in July 2015, Reece Bibby joined New Hope Club in November 2015. This trio, which also included George Smith and Blake Richardson, originated from Northern England and quickly signed with Steady Records, a subsidiary of Virgin EMI Records, in December 2015, marking a significant step in their career.

Since joining New Hope Club, Bibby has played a role in the band’s growth. The group released their debut 4-song EP, “Welcome to the Club,” in May 2017 through Hollywood Records and Steady Records. This release led to the band spending ten weeks on the Billboard Next Big Sound chart, peaking at number 5, and earning a nomination for Choice Next Big Thing at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards. Over the years, New Hope Club supported The Vamps on multiple UK, Europe, and USA tours from 2016 to 2019. They also released their self-titled debut album in February 2020, which reached number five on the UK Album Charts. Bibby, contributing vocals, bass, drums, cajon, and guitar, was a core member through their tours, EPs like “Welcome to the Club Pt. 2” (2018), and various singles. On February 4, 2025, the band announced an upcoming hiatus.
