Reginald Lucien Frank Roger Watts (born March 23, 1972) is an American comedian, actor, beatboxer and musician. His improvised musical sets are created using only his voice, a keyboard, and a looping machine. Watts refers to himself as a "disinformationist" who aims to disorient his audience, often in a comedic fashion. He appeared on the IFC series Comedy Bang! Bang! and currently leads the house band for The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Reginald Lucien Frank Roger Watts was born in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, on March 23, 1972, the only child of French mother Christiane and African-American father Charles Alphonso Watts. His father was an officer in the US Air Force, and the family lived in Germany and Spain before relocating to Great Falls, Montana, where Watts was raised and graduated from Great Falls High School in the class of 1990. He also took piano and violin lessons between the ages of five and 16, and has said his love of music started as a young child when he saw Ray Charles playing the piano on television. Watts moved to Seattle, Washington at the age of 18 to study music. He briefly attended the Art Institute of Seattle before studying jazz at Cornish College of the Arts. While in Seattle, he played in a number of Seattle bands of wildly varying genres, including a stint with Wayne Horvitz and the neo-soul band Maktub.
