Ren, I have so much hope for you, I prey for you. You are a special person here to touch a LOT of people. Your strength is amazing. I have never met you, but I smile seeing your videos. Your so extremely talented and deserve to live your life in full. I am truly sorry to hear about your dark health past. I hope you are around for the long haul. I cannot get enough of your music. You've made top person I'd love to meet. Keep shining man. You are changing lives and bringing more positivity then you could ever imagine. Keep it up Boi -Anthony

[@rael1999]

I'm 64 now but I love this guy's philosophy on both life and music. He comes across as a lovely guy and so well grounded. Music really is a healer and brings people together. Everyone should express themselves through some form of art because I think it slows your world down a little and is so rewarding mentally. This interview was 3 years ago and 'Fame' is calling now big time, especially with the release of Ren's second album. I hope it doesn't change him and I hope he keeps his feet well grounded. Keep the mates you have now really close to you, because they'll be honest with you. And remember it's the simple things in life that make you happy, not big houses or flash cars. As I'm sure you know only to well Ren happiness is a state of mind, not wealth.

[@markuss7249]

☀🌧🌈 3 years later...Ren just hit, does, like he said... his honesty, empathy and ability, to see things the way they are... give words to that and turn it to music... We are witnessing greatness.

[@Robin-sc1lf]

The more I learn about this guy the more I like him. Totally uncorrupted, grounded, real life experience at a young age and you can tell he is well read.

Well said!!

[@direnova6284]

I so needed to hear him talk in a conversational way, he's seemed so ethereal with his genius writing and performing. Very pleased to get what I hoped and believed he'd be, a nice bloke.

[@alouise01]

I knew he must have grown up listening and making music! Ren was obviously raised right!

[@thomasdellarosa1960]

Everyone Loves Ren , He's touches our Hearts and Souls .

[@Stevieb333]

What a friggin talent this lad is.

[@Psychwardetiquette]

Wow. A great anecdote Ren. Love it. I’ve watched The Great Push and you and Sam. What a duo you two are. Fantastic 🌟

[@RiceyBhoy89]

How can you not fkn love this guy 💚

What an honest man and appears very genuine. best of luck with the music. Hi-Ren has to win an award

It won my award

[@summittaedae2323]

The busker GOAT! Everyone in America with a reaction platform is using Ren for views. This young man is so unique. The sky isn’t even his limit

[@CasperLD]

I've just discovered Ren this week. What an incredible artist. A genius even.

[@slagmaggot]

I found Hi Ren on xmas eve and have been watching something everyday dude is awesome, coming from a hardcore/punk/metal/thrash guitarist

[@sabfit4life277]

Was a cool insight

[@rarefruit2320]

Ren and Sam are the best! They have so much excellent music all over KZbin

[@Scr33chGaming]

"Wales Man" its not a question! What a Legend Ren!

[@achebwahs1111]

What a paradox. From out of Ren's illness comes such depth in expression. A gift born from pain many can relate to on a personal level. A musical phoenix shining brighter having lived through the flames. Wow and thank you. You mean so much to many of us now and this crazy arse ball were all spinning on makes a little ore sense now we know you're spinning on it with us.

[@anticafo]

Beautifully said, share the sentiment wholeheartedly!

[@GabrysiaSzuta]

With every song being a masterpiece, Ren saying "I don't think I've written my best songs yet" makes us all waiting for the new releases feel like 5yo excited for boxing day

[@neutral8623]

Believe us, we feel the same!

[@uptheantie417]

10000 percent awaiting it patiently and enjoying him along the way

A talent that we didn't know we needed. A guy I hadn't even heard of a week ago blew my mind with the first song i accidentaly clicked on (Hi ren). Loving jumping down the rabbit hole that is this wonderful journey of raw artistic beauty.

Thank you for sharing this about yourself REN. Hearing this truth about you has made me like you, and your music, even more. Thank you xx

[@gregm55mullen62]

There’s very few artists in life I’d love to meet and chat with.. but Ren is one of them.

[@benjaminletiecq4932]

I'm really glad the video editor displayed each question on the screen for 0.067 milliseconds so that I had enough time to read the whole thing...

[@Tezero]

this man is definitely a complete artist

[@craigevans8912]

You knew this two years ago, the rest of us have only just found out… pure genius 🙌

[@Tezero]

@@craigevans8912 Luckily there are many of us who appreciate it and I wish that more and more people can appreciate it too. He deserves to be heard all over the world, and people deserve to hear what he does with his music because it's just pure genius ♥

[@craigevans8912]

@@Tezero I completely agree with you his music, story telling and artistry is a different level to anything I’ve heard before.

[@writerinrwanda]

This guy has mad talent. Just discovered his music and it's truly show-stopping. So heart-warming to hear he offered his time and equipment to help a fellow performer and now they make amazing music together. 💫

[@annanelahie4782]

Ren Gill, you are so inspiring. I have been through everything.l and still am. You, brother…. Just be around. People need to see an example. You’re the best I’ve seen.

[@Urban0utlawGT]

I'm from the future. You should have seen this guy play glastonbury in 2023 ! He was incredible 😍

[@dalethompson2961]

Wooo wooo🎉

[@noanproduction3300]

When he said one his favourite countries is Germany I got this glimpse of hope that maybe one day he will play a gig or two here... and that got me really excited!!

[@stephenhumphris6962]

The artist this world needed stay humble ren bro true genius

[@britbrat4559]

Another artist with lyme disease? I respect rens music beyond words. Hes impacting way more people then he is aware of. His music changes people. Its artists like him who change the very vibration of our reality......❤❤❤

[@sputukgmail]

Love this insight into where Ren was at the time, knowing what great things he had ahead. I imagine this must have been filmed just before his career and opportunities got put back on hold due to the pandemic/lock down since Apr 2020 when it says this video was put out was mid lock down. I’ve become a huge fan this year - but as I’ve watched everything he’s put out, I’ve kept finding the odd bit that is familiar - things I had seen before, enjoyed, but never quite stuck. I remember people sharing his busking videos and being blown away by them, but just thought “ah, lucky Brighton having such a talented busker there”. I remember being shown ‘The Hunger’ as an example of impressive rap, but I wasn’t ready at the time / I kick myself now remembering that I was dismissive…I didn’t get rap, I couldn’t follow what he was saying and what I did hear didn’t seem to mean anything, so I foolishly judged him for ‘looking too old to be dressed like a kid’…I’d completely forgotten thinking that until I’d watched the video maybe 20 or 30 times these past few months, loving it, and then suddenly had this guilty memory….what had I been thinking! Ren man, so glad your time has arrived - not this faux dawn of 2020, but now the glorious, shining star for the world to feel healed and grow from. Comparing this interview with the one I just watched with Knox Hill - you sir, are a credit not only to yourself, your parents, your friends, your country - but to humanity.

[@jiagforal]

3 week and you became my all time favorite!! You have mad skills and when I first heard my jaw dropped!!!! Listening all day now!!!❤

[@dalenna_]

I love watching interviews with Ren. He comes down to earth and has some meaningful points ❤

[@Sharps.50]

WOW ! the more I see & hear Ren & the rest of the boys the more I want to hear & watch they are so talented , just proves real talent does not need frills & fancies , it needs The Big Push , just love your music

[@ovamun4824]

[@carahoglund5266]

...and then Covid hit. Great interview. So cool to see a glimpse of Ren back in Brighton in 2020. For us new fans, mostly in America (I'm assuming), it's like he literally popped out of nowhere when "Hi Ren" dropped. We've all been collectively going "Who TF is this guy?!?! Where has he been hiding??" And now we know. :)

[@Threadbow]

On da streets of Brighton. Perfecting his stage skills.

[@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230]

A really good interview. Great to see him getting the recognition he deserves. I hope he's ready for the huge attention that's coming his way.
