Hi, I’m Reggie Coates. I’m the President & CEO of Heartfelt Music® & Ministry, Inc., a nonprofit I lead to empower worship, music education, and ministry outreach. I’ve spent over four decades teaching and guiding musicians, from high school ensembles to adult ministry teams, and I’ve spent 51 years playing guitar as a Taylor Artist. I’m passionate about building strategic training workshops, conferences, and curricula that help people grow musically and spiritually.
Beyond leadership, I mentor musicians through private lessons, organize concerts and conferences, and oversee worship programs at churches and conference centers. I’m a licensed minister who loves developing worship practices, team building, and performance excellence. In my free time, I create music and contribute to ministry through songwriting and collaboration with fellow artists.

Jay Leach,

“Reggie is one of the most sincere, caring and honest people I have ever met. He is warm and has a minister’s heart both on and off stage. He is an incredible musician, guitarist, and songwriter. When he leads others in worship or ministers to a crowd through song, God’s Spirit speaks through him. And he can reach the high school student as well as the mature adult. Everyone responds well to his music and personality.”
