[@creamcheese_pepperjelly5078]

I know Melissa McCarthy follows him as well 😊

[@KittyInTheGarden]

Ren's not classically trained in singing. He had a lot of practice busking, and watched vocal coaches such as Chris Liepe on KZbin to improve his technique. He did an interview with Chris Liepe in which he said he had some singing lessons in 2020 after he lost his voice for a short while, so that he could learn to sing without hurting his voice. I don't know if he sang in school. He got his first guitar aged 10, and started making beats aged 12. He comes from a small island off the coast of North Wales. He said he started rapping out of necessity because he didn't know anyone else to do it at the time. Wales has a tradition of male voice choirs. Ren put together his own version of this at the beginning of Seven Sins, the first song on his Sick Boi album. Jenny's Tale was apparently based on a newspaper article about a 14 year old boy in London who killed a lady. It seems what followed came directly from Ren's imagination. He has said that if he hadn't had the experience of chronic illness that he has had he probably wouldn't have written songs like Violet's Tale. There are quite a few nursery rhymes that turn up in Ren's music. I think the one you're thinking of in Hi Ren is She sells sea shells on the sea shore, which is a reference to a verse in one of his previous songs, Money Game part 2. It was the dark version of Ren taking something Ren is very proud of and belittling it and making fun of it as childish. The Money Game trilogy is incredible. Highly recommended. Parts 1 and 3 are intricately choreographed live one take performances. Part 2 is a very well put together lyric video (released in 2020).

[@stevensmind]

[@yonahgrossman7319]

GREAT reactions!! So how much does a work of genius cost to make?? The entire budget for Violet's Tale was 50 pounds ($60-ish) The 'hospital' room is actually the basement bike storage room in a friend's apt building. There are bicycles behind that blue curtain. The budget for Jenny's Tale and Screech's Tale were near zero. All told this entire gut-wrenching masterpiece cost roughly $100 to make. Now THAT'S genius!!

[@SonoraLovesMusic]

Did you understand the end? I haven’t read all the comments yet- but the twins were Violet’s babies. In 2005. Screeches tale was released in 2019 (14 years old). Jenny and James (Screech) were twins, but didn’t know. Their mother died, and their father either fled or went to prison for murder. Jennifer and James are apparently like Jane and John Doe in the US- commonly given to those without names in the U.K.. Shakespearean style tragedy from our modern day Bard. A story of generational trauma and violence. Real life things we don’t talk about enough, since it continues. Very glad you jumped right into this though! Your channel is blowing up! (Rising tide!) there are so many places to go from here. Sick Boi is a great choice to do next. I saw other suggestions for singing Ren-all good options! Rapping REN: The Hunger, Loosing it, Illest of Our Time, Genesis, Seven Sins, and many more! All different- all pure lyrical and artistic genius! The first three are more upbeat. 😁

[@yilomina2047]

"You know when you stumble on greatness?" .... Yep, that's Ren! I don't know whether Ren can read music or not. He may have picked it up along the way, but he said once in an interview that he can "see the shapes" that the music makes in his mind, and he just figures out how to make the instrument make the same "shapes." Ren taught himself to sing, as well, with help from vocal coach videos on KZbin. Ren is an independent artist, and due to health problems is not able to tour, so he's not as well-known as he should be. But last year, his album Sick Boi charted at #1 in the UK, which was a huge accomplishment! Great reaction, and kudos to Samuel Perry Falvey for the amazing videography. Looking forward to more Ren reactions from you, I'm glad you're enjoying the ride so far!

[@marydelaney9113]

Although his mother didn't train him she's a voice coach so I'm sure he would have learnt something organically.

[@KingKarmaArt]

Pushing up on 2k subs already! Renegades don't mess around 😆 All of the talent he puts on show is more impressive when you consider he's independant and does most of this with a small group of friends. Some of these are live takes too, he does his own production and directing, songwriting, every scene is PACKED with visual language, like the silhouette graffiti of the young girl on a swing whilst singing about Jenny which he pauses next to. And he does it all whilst fighting chronic illness from Lyme disease and years of mental health struggles caused by misdiagnoses. He really is a force of nature. On top of that, I love that NOTHING is safe around him, the whole world becomes an instrument, doors, phones, guitar bodies, staircases, everything has a use.

[@KingKarmaArt]

Also, he has a second channel, Renmakesstuff, where he posts a bunch of behind the scenes clips, side projects and deep dives into his life. Well worth checking out!

[@stevensmind]

[@lesliejenifer920]

@@stevensmindHonestly, don't feel obligated to squeeze in a Ren reaction every day. The Renegades don't go away if you react to other artists. I think a reaction is best when the reactor feels ready and isn't stressed about getting content out.Some people barely react once a week. You go at your own pace. There are a lot who choose Wednesday as their day to do a Ren reaction. They call it "Rensday." Then some go ahead and post more times in the week, when they have time or something drops.A Ren reaction every day would be awesome too. Just don't stress about it. 🐇

But for more theatrical pieces... there is another trilogy, "Money game", the first of which is my favourite Ren's video Also done with Samuel Perry Falvey, the same cinematographer who did these videos you've seen thus far, two of them really have a special creative chemistry

By the way, discovering Ren has had an incredible effect of the KZbin reaction community. "A rising tide lifts all boats".

[@majbrat]

❤❤❤ Bardcore ❤❤❤ Rens genre is REN. 😊😊😊 Ren was moved by the apathy in a news story just saying, "its such a shame," when reporting of a 14 year old boy stabbing a woman to death. No discussion of what could have led him there or anything. Genius storytelling to shed light on generational violence, our failure to protect vulnerable people, domestic violence, and the children caught in the middle or left behind. Did you catch the twist though?

[@stevensmind]

Wow. Lucky us. TWO reactions to Ren in one day. You are so authentic. It’s fun to watch you getting drawn into this incredible independent Artist’s work. I’m enjoying your reactions! Many reactors try and use Ren to boost their subscribers. They over react and are so transparent and fake. We need educated professionals like you who can watch a video and get it. You understand and respect Ren and his videographer mates, you call out creative shots. I laughed when you said, “I wonder what the neighbors think…” at the beginning of Jenny’s Tale. The neighbors were not impressed 😉. Their utter commitment to detail in their work is incredible. So glad you found Ren. More flowers for your top quality content! 💐☮️💛🔥🐰

I cannot stand fake reactors. I’ve spent the last few years watching thousands of reactions of NF songs and i didn’t even realize i was training myself it do reaction videos. I’m coming into this with some insight on what does and doesn’t work. Thank God.

[@horsnpony365]

@@stevensmind NF reactors. You have been to school. 😉 I really hate the over the top reactors. They can’t honestly behave like that off camera (I hope?!) Don’t be hard on yourself for missing the twist at the end, you can’t catch every single detail. Just be sure to run something back if you might not have caught the meaning. The Renegades don’t mind. Also, let the videos play past the closing frame. Ren often adds a little text to the following frame. Ren is the master of the dramatic pause. His delivery about the twins is in a quiet and resigned tone. A tonal statement about just how much the “social safety net system” gets wrong. The twins wouldn’t have ever known about one another. Most countries split babies up and send them wherever they can. There dad was in Prison and both children were mirrors of their own father, for Screech, and mother, for Jenny. You have a great channel! I enjoy watching. I hope your move at the end of the week went well, and you’ve stopped being territorial about the computer 😂 your poor fiancé

He is now known in the UK. He learned much of his craft through KZbin videos. He made good use of time he was sick to explore and develop his talents. When he could, he spent time with his previous band the Big Push. Many of their performances were on the streets of Brighton, UK, busking. You”ll probably like those performances.

[@mstewart109]

Always look for the ones in red suspenders as the best. But even without that band is amazingly talented. He advertised in local paper for musicians to join him, in a band and got 3 (Romain( guitar, vocals) Glen ( drums) Gorran ( guitar, harmonica and vocals) they all moved in together during that time. Rens health tanked and they separated. Still friends. Romain is close friends with Ren. He is originally from France. And now solo artist on utube. Check him out Romain Axisa. Gorran is busking across Europe now. Glen is back In Ireland. Maybe some big push next to be a bit lighter mood? Or some rap or such? Ren is like a swiss army knife of variety.

Another great reaction! Congrats on already reaching 1K and shortly 2K. You just posted this 3 hrs. ago as I write and you're at 1.75K. 😁 Ren will always be sick with Lyme Disease unless they come up with a cure for it. Hopefully he will be able to fight off the co-infection Bartonella that is plaguing him. Since he is unable to tour, it's harder for him to reach new audiences and that's where the Renegades come in. We work hard to promote Ren as much as we possibly can, and helping reactors on their Ren journey and sharing those reactions helps spread the word. You should watch Ren's One Million Subscribers (Defining Success) to get a good understanding of who Ren is and why we love him so much. He is truly an inspiration to so many of us. As long as you support Ren, the Renegades will support you. Looking forward to your next reaction.

Multiple comments as I watched, sorry. He (and his friend and videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey) aspires to have a Netflix series with content similar to the tales. He has 4 or 5 written, as proof of concept, but I don't think they've filmed any yet. When the time is right, I think he'll get it. If not, Netflix are morons and he'll probably figure out how to do it on his own, like he always does. He did film Vincents Tale 1 & 2 starting at the new year and we're all hyped for him to edit and release them, both because they'll be amazing and because there was a bit of a setback when he had to go to the emergency room during the first attempt to film as he had a health flare up. Took a few months to recover and claw his way back again, but he's been at is hard since the new year. If you want to see his directorial debut, check out Sick Boi Part 1 - The Flame of Prometheus.

Congratulations on your subs climbing! 🎉🦇🎉 And as a former fellow thespian, I wish you all the luck with your career! From my first tap dancing recital at the age of 5, I aspired to be on the stage. And I pursued that aspiration in acting up until my late 30s/early 40s. The reason I dropped the dream is perfectly portrayed in Hi Ren. I had battled That Voice for decades and I was exhausted by it Which is why I love your confidence! When you said "I'm a really good actor", it didn't sound arrogant or narcissistic. It sounded like an artist who has been honing his craft and simply knows the truth. Stay confident and keep grinding! I'm really glad you're diving into more Ren. He continually sparks inspiration in so many people, a ripple effect that creates creations that inspire others to create their creations! Absolute magic! 🌟🦇🌟🦇🌟🦇🌟🦇🌟

[@stevensmind]

You know, I'm glad you said that. I was thinking of editing that out because i felt it sounded arrogant. I'm trying this new thing called being confident. Acting is one of the few things I've been able to have confidence in. I hope you find your voice again! It's such a good outlet as an artist to create. I'd love to see your work!

I’m a 57 yr. old Grandma and I’ve never been a bigger fan of any artist. LOVE him. I’ve played some videos for 7 of my friends and they didn’t like his work at all. They’re no longer friends of mine as I can’t associate with idiots.

[@michelleeasterday2423]

You're my best friend now. I'm 54 ❤

[@rhonda-qc6qy]

I'm a 70 year old great grandma and I love Ren too. He tears me apart and builds me up again. I have a chronic health condition that my son inherited too. We both walk the walk and sing the song with Ren. Good to meet you in the Ren Review universe.

New Renegade sub here from Washington state!! It's always exciting to watch someone discover Rens' brilliance! You are clearly one of us now!❤❤ congratz on 3k!!🎉🎉

[@stevensmind]

Thank you so much! Explore I have lots of reactions. DAX even shared my reaction of his music haha

[@notanormi]

@stevensmind I saw that!! You are reacting to artists who are REAL ONES!!! I really hope you enjoy getting to know them all!🥰

[@jenjensage7242]

You ask “how can you watch a 13 minute video and not want it to be over?”. Because it’s Ren, that’s how. Also, Ren and his story telling is so captivating that it doesn’t even seem like 13 minutes have gone by. I told you on the Hi Ren video…Ren is PHENOMENAL! So glad you are here for the ride. Looking forward to more. Also, idk about others, but for me, beside you reacting to awesome music I’m here and subbed because real recognizes real. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️😊

Jennys tale was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together. Masterpiece.

Subbed yesterday on your Hi REN reaction. You had some 260 subs and I thought to myself “this guy’s subs are gonna skyrocket with all the Renagates out there”. Glad to see you go down the REN rabbit hole!

[@elimagun9551]

There are so many amazing reactors who cover Ren. Steven, Two you might find valuable are Chris Liepe and Joe E Sparks. Chris is a vocal coach who Ren used to listen to and learn from. I think as an actor, Chris Liepes methods will be particularly interesting. Chris has also been able to interview Ren, providing you with a lot of extra information and context. Joe E Sparks is a videographer. I love hearing all the visual, lighting and frame observations that I would never have seen. This two just crack the surface of the reactors who bring their art into Ren’s world. Have fun diving deep.

[@stevensmind]

oh thats super interesting! thank you for letting me know!

The power of the Renegades shines through!! Amen!

[@mardanhar82]

Recently subbed after seeing your reaction to Hi ren. I'm not sure if you caught the twist at the end on how the 3 tales connected..maybe the pause near the end distracted you or? If I were you I'd re watch as that is an epic twist to the story that makes al of it just even better!! ❤

[@stevensmind]

I've rewatched because of that. Yeah Its hard to catch everything all in one go Thank you for at least being nice about it some people are really being mean to me lol

[@InstantKiwi1005]

Love that you didn't spoil... but only suggested to have a second go

[@InstantKiwi1005]

​​​@@stevensmindLove reading the reactions on reactors... and real RENegades would prefere always to be supportive, noticed also you missed the twist, but his stories, setings & texts are so dense, never mind... The trilogy is ment to point out the vicious circle of abuse, passed on generation to generation... so starting right over is exactly what this is about... There is a reaction of a young female psychologist on RENs trilogy, who has been working for years with patients with anger management issues and abused persons and she managed to unwind all layers of the trilogy showing how tragic this familys are and she did not skip to analyse the role of the police shooter - amazing your reaction on how REN turned his guitar into a gun... same for me, when i watched the trilogy first time btw subbed after 3 minutes, looking forward to more reactions :) Congrats to 6000+ subs

The algo just delivered your Hi Ren reaction, and I loved your energy and observations, subbed for more and looking forward to watching you watch this one. Ren being self taught is what gives him the creative freedom to do the things he does according to many coaches I’ve watched 🙂 Also, you mentioned Tom Hardy, and follows Ren and Russell Crowe invited him to a meet up when he was in London ❤

Ren has been chronically ill, misdiagnosed and the consequent devastation on his body. He was signed at one time but he couldn't tour or hold to contractual expectations so they dropped him. He's remained independent which allowed him to write and sing what and when he wants or his health allows. He has Lyme disease.
