Has anyone else heard of Ren?
I absolutely love his music and what he stands for. I think he’s incredibly talented — his lyrics are so poetic and deep, and his music genuinely feels like art rather than just songs.
I especially love how some of his songs are almost like stories. He uses the lyrics, different voices and sounds to set the scene so well that you can actually picture what’s happening as you listen. There are so many layers to his music and you can listen again and notice something you missed before.
I also really like what he stands for and how open and thought-provoking his music is. There’s something very raw and genuine about him, and he manages to tackle some really difficult subjects in such a creative way.
I don’t hear many people talking about him though, so wondered how many on here have heard of him? And if you have, what’s your favourite song? 🎶 🎶

@Oldraver Vengaboys! How insulting 😂 Your boss is missing out.

He did admit to going to and dance to Scooter 😅 he's a DnB head usually

I have seen him on YouTube but only really watched Hi Ren. It is interesting.

He is a very interesting character
Love Hi REN , very moving and had me in tears first time I watched it
Lyme disease really messed him up but I think he has other ongoing struggles and it really shows in his very original music

Ah, that’s good to know @AlloftheTime. Funnily enough, I was pondering REN’s family and upbringing this afternoon after watching a REN video (when he was having a little cry after singing Chalk Outlines at Boardmasters this summer 😭) I’d love to know what he was like as a kid. I’m imagining very bright, talkative, articulate, busy/hyperactive!
