      The things Ren does with his voice -- it's freaking unbelievable. Blues, be-bop, psychedelic, glam, torch diva, beat poet, ska, blister rap.. and it all fits together so seamlessly. And then there's the fret work -- goodness knows. What a gift.

Just insanely talented. REN is so multi-faceted, I'm in absolute awe of the breadth of his talents. I'll make more sense tomorrow ... maybe. But when I close my eyes I just hear that guitar!

      I don't like a lot of the new music out today. Around 35 years old I realized I either out grew it or it out grew me. There's a couple bands I have liked but nothing that I was so excited about. As soon as I listened to REN I shared the music with my 20 year old something kids and 30 year old family members and it's the one time we all have agreed. REN!!!;

You make me feel young because I have not heard such a great band in so many years! Your interpretations of older classics are so fresh that they are solely yours. Vmi love your busking videos and play them over and over. All of you are exceptional. Years ago I used to work gigs at major venues as an usher or so-called security in the Philadelphia, Pa and Atlantic City, NJ (mind you, iam a female, so it was a pretty cushy job, however, entitled me to see so many artist that I would never have been able to afford even in the late 80s and early 90s when concert tickets were inexpensive. However, when you went to see up and coming bands a few times a week it added up. So glad I had an opportunity to have that gig it was such a blast. Would love to see you guys in person. I think I could afford a decent ticket price to see you before you are crazy famous and charge hundreds of dollars. ♥️big fan - please keep rock alive!

      Oh, he isn't so raw. He's a pretty well trained talent, Been playing guitar since he was a little kid and his mother was a singing teacher and Thirty-three-year-old Ren, whose full name is Ren Erin Gill, was originally born in Bangor, Gwynedd in North-West Wales, before moving to the island of Anglesey, just off the coast of North Wales. He then went on to study at Bath Spa University’s Newton Park Campus, honing his skills as a budding songwriter, musician, producer, and rapper.
      Chris Blanden, Senior Lecturer in Commercial Music at Bath Spa University’s Bath School of Music and Performing Arts, fondly recalls teaching Ren. He said:
      "It's so exciting to see Ren doing this well. He always knew what music he wanted to make and despite all of the serious challenges and obstacles that life has thrown at him, he has just never stopped working on the music he believed in. And now look what's happened."

    I recently found Rens Song "Hi Ren" and was stunned, even more when I looked through his channel and found out he is really that good of a singer and guitarist that you really don't hear very often, but appearantly there are at least over the top talented musicians that mastered all of their instruments. You guys brought back the memories when I was a teenager and used to play the guitar and sing every day. I was selftaught and kinda frustrated that I didn't get better in either of both and once I moved in with my boyfriend I was to ashamed to continue. You guys made me wipe the dust of that old guitar of mine and maybe start playing again, just for the joy of making music. thanks for that, and your music and the good vibe your videos give - for free!
