I love the way Ren recognises his own hypocricies....in Hi Ren it states he never chased numbers statistics or stats, but now it's there in front of him. Why shouldn't he want it. His achievements are inspirational to those that are coming over struggles, not giving up, and not losing hope. His music, the beats, licks, drops, composition and lyrics are so refreshing. His community have bought so many albums because he is a voice for humanity and I personally love his values and what he brings to the stage by presenting them to his audience. He's worked so hard, and a number one album will be his reward for everything he has given to everyone else. A beautiful soul. 😍
Ren is such a human Being.
I am a 66 yr old Widow, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I can't remember the last time I connected with an artist as much as I do Ren. His lyrics are genius. He is a musical wonder. On top of that, he seems like just a good person. I am waiting for a CD from him, but more than this, I look forward to follow his future. I have never been a fan of hip hop, but Ren has substance. He is worth listening to. I think he is the best musical artist since the 80's. I loved your interview. You asked the right questions. If all the world thought like Ren, we would not be seeing all the turmoil and the world would be a better place. Thank you to both of you ! I look forward to his next album. May God bless him and us with his gift. ❤❤
One of the best parts of the interview was in the last minute, where Ren gives Chris his flowers. I've seen so many artists, too many, that when they make it to the top, they're generally unable to acknowledge what they gained from others. It's as though they're so insecure about their success that they feel it somehow diminishes their achievement to give others due credit. Chris will feel Ren's words like a warm blanket for the rest of his life, and Ren is so secure in himself that it costs him nothing to give others their deserved flowers. Ren's authenticity, humility, and spiritual generosity, as much as his talent, will leave the positive imprint he wished for in this interview.
It's brilliant that Ren's influenced by Jeff Buckley (among others of course) and found Chris' channel via that.
You can hear that influence too.
Ren always learned from the best...🥹...still heartbroken, rest in Peace, Jeff 💔
Oh how I can dream of a Ren - Jeff Buckley collaboration😂
What an amazing interview and I guess I must have started chopping onions at the end! Really felt emotional with how it came full circle for both of you where you say how Ren has helped you and Ren says you helped him. It’s just the culmination of his philosophy with you two expressing that you actually have helped each other. Two genuine and warm people just having a chat, perfect. Thank you Chris and Ren ❤
I felt the same way.
Couldn’t have said it any better - 💯 spot on. Probs the best interview & exchange with Ren I’ve watched - Kudos Chris 👏👏👏
I love this so much! God Ren is such an all-round beautiful _human_ . I love how intently attentive he is - he's really _there_ fully. He's not humouring Chris in the least - this is the beautiful union of passions for art and expression. You can tell also that they both have a secret agenda to this interview : encouraging us, budding creatives (whether aspiring singers, writers, anyone really) to have the courage to shine and be beautifully ourselves. NGL, their mutual appreciation and just the refreshing _sincerity_ of it all actually had me tear-up! Truth, in art, and life, is _so refreshing_ isn't it? Thank you Chris. Thank you Ren.
Not so secret :) !! We both really wanted this interview to be encouraging and inspirational (maybe even a little instructional) to those who want to create their own authentic artistic expressions!
@@chrisliepe _Shhhh_ I know that hahahah. Lemme tell you you knocked it outta the park! I'm picking up my pen as soon as I finish this comment - - thank you both 💚
Wow, how does that feel? Having someone like Ren who you’ve never met before tell you you’re a big reason why they are where they are. Gotta feel great.
Great interview
Felt pretty amazing... I'm gonna hold onto that for awhile!!
What a great exchange between two talented artists. Respect to you my friend 🌻
Ren a Faith No More fan? YES!!!! Speaking of brilliant singers/creators. Mike Patton is a genius, a beast, a genius-beast who can do almost ANYTHING with his voice.
How did that feel, to be credited with aiding the development of Ren’s career. Wow
He’s quite clearly a lovely man isn’t he.
Really a big block that we sometimes need to get over is thinking that we're "mimicking" someone else's voice. They've influenced you, but it's still your voice. Big thing for me to hear.
100% For the longest time I used to think that I'm doing an impression of people singing, but that was never the case. Like Ren said here, I was always trying to take what made their voices special and the energy behind the song and push that through my own voice. Because you know your voice so well, it's so hard to really know how others experience it. And a few years back I was lying down and kind of sleepy I was listening to some stuff I'd sang and for the first time I heard it for what it actually was and realized I didn't sound anything like Mick Jagger or Liam Gallagher. I sounded like me and how I sang was tapping into their energy.
Ever since your interview with Chinchilla, I've been waiting for this, great interview between two, intelligent and insightful musicians 👍
Ren x Chinchilla on tour live 2024 please!
Ren is a very thoughtful guy. Very interesting interview that held my attention the entire time. Kudos for not one cliche in 45 minutes.
There is so much focus at times on suffering being evil, bad and to be avoided and if you have suffered you get all the cache to claim victimhood but Ren has clearly been shaped so beautifully by suffering which has taught him such deep lessons of things like gratitude rather than being resentful of people with perfect health. Such an enjoyable interview, thanks Chris!
Yes!! I feel like that’s such a big part of his message, and my general perspective on life. I work with persons suffering from substance use, and this is the message I am constantly trying to share. We choose what we do with our suffering, we can choose to learn the lessons that life is trying to teach us.
It is so good to hear Ren admit to having ego. I have seen reactors making all sorts of assumptions. I am also pleased to hear him compare what he is doing with spiritual channeling. His channeling is so much more real than many I have heard.
Ren seems to understand the Gaia Matrix well.
I like how Chris gets a little excited when talking to Ren😊 It was nice to hear from you both!
My observation of the fluidity with which Ren slips between characters and narrator is, it reminds me of the way great character comedians do their jokes on stage.
One moment you are the story-teller, the next you are the object of the story.
The voices come naturally as you see the character in your head.
Some of my poetry demands specific voices for the moment, so I totally get it.
"And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make" ❤️
This is an excellent interview. The more I watch Ren the more I want to watch Ren. So excited for next album, he has an amazing voice, to hear him sing more than rap is going to be fantastic.thank you for the thoughtful exchange. ❤
Je suis complètement d'accord avec vous ce jeune REN est incroyablement intelligent cultivé instruit talentueux brilliant et j'en passe échange excellent REN Et Chris merci infiniment
Ren has so much music going back 15 yrs your just seeing his latest stuff atm..(Check out The Big Push )his band from earlier and live busking performances , also (Trick the Fox )from when he was much younger before he got unwell..😎
What a great interview. All generations are loving Ren, and Im here for it. The amount of people he reaches and mirrors he holds to people's faces is amazing. I've heard so many people stories through his songs. His music reeks polarity in his lyrics, sounds, instruments and feels. Every part of it seems to have duality. So brilliant!! ❤
I just love what REN has brought to the world. A new way of supporting each other by sharing & learning as time goes on. We don't need the big industry that eats up an artist's ability to create something so meaningful. I also appreciate the way I have been able to watch peoples reactions. It gives me a sense of peace knowing we all basically have our issues & that's OK as long as we don't hurt other people with our pain. I am growing. Just a few months ago I wasn't living. I'm so consumed with all the deaths of my family & pets. I have buried all of my family & I'm excommunicated from my g'children. I literally no longer exist to them.
Ren talks like and old wise man. Really special person.
Excelent interview. Really broched different subjects and asked questions other interviews hadn't so great to not just hear the same questions and answers. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
- the Sick Boi album: launched the day after the release of MG3 with its warning about the self-destruction of humanity
- Ren: already busy putting together an album about rebirth. ♥
The video he attached to the end of the treasure hunt could be considered the first release of this next "Ren era," in spoken-word form.
Also... I don't think I've ever said this before in any of my comments on this channel despite having already known Ren built his singing voice around stuff he learned here and elsewhere, but: jfc Chris, seriously, ty for the role you played in literally bringing Ren & his voice to the world. I mean, I know he'd be making music if he'd never watched your channel, but *you* are a part of his tapestry; *you* are a part of the reason he gets to share his message with the actual *world* today, whether Sick Boi ends up charting at #1 or #2 on the official UK charts. Please just take a moment and sit with that satisfaction for a bit today, maybe with a beer or something.
I'm very far from being a hip hop fan, but Ren's melodic kind of rap is very pleasing to my ears. I love his take on every cover I've heard by the Big Push. My absolute favourite is Man's World, the way his voice and tone changes so smoothly.
Ren…..YOURE imperfectly perfect in so many ways!!
I’m doing a thesis on the flow state since I’m both a psychologist and a singer so this video was very relevant and relatable for me
Cheers, bois 🍻
I bet that'd be an interesting thesis. Good luck with it 👍🏻
Go live with the Tibetan Monks for a while they will sort you out..Careful what you wish for..🙏
Thank you both! Love how humble Ren is. And his way of looking at humanity. We are all made of the same stuff. There really is no separation. We all have our backstories and are right we’re we are because of those experiences. He is so cool, really, and you, sir, led an excellent interview. ❤
So so happy to watch this! Congrats on getting an interview with Ren💚🤗🍀
Now that Ren mentioned it, I would love to hear Ren sing one of their Welsh folk tales in his native tongue.❤❤❤❤
Dont know about Ren, but there is video on his father's channel-- Martin Gill-- where dad sings Welsh while playing mandola.
Absolutely.
@@ignoblesavage5559 Wow! Thank you! Going to check it out right away. 🥰
@@CactuSoul 👍
The Welsh seem to have English accents these days and English culture..
That's awesome, Chris. I'm so happy to see this interview with Ren. And your channel is great for so much. You've come a long way since Sweetwater. 😊
I'm glad you got to interview him. I've been really impressed by how versatile his voice is. Thanks for the interview.
Ren has balls of steel, let me tell ya. I love competence and he HAS IT
Yes! Since Ren mentioned your videos, I've been hoping that the two of you would get together for an interview. Much love to you both! 😍
Holy fuck Chris what an interview!!! How truly humble for Ren to big you up for being partially responsible for directing and channeling him in learning to express himself vocally!! This HAS to be the best interview that focussed more on his musical journey, influences, his singing/rapping as well as how he goes about making a song in the studio, to even trying things when he was busking to see how different things were received by people it was really enlightening i think. I love the fact that he openly said he wasnt great at singing when he started but that pure persistence and hard work and time paid off for him (he has said similar before but never as blunt and direct as he said it in your interview).
Its Rens trademark to be eating on a live stream...his last 2 twitch streams he broke from that tradition, but today on his twitch stream and your interview he didnt disappoint hahahaa
Anyway what a wholesome 45min interview that i think should be COMPULSORY WATCHING for EVERY RENegade!! Well done Chris and great job Ren!!
Great comment - This should be compulsory viewing for all REnegades - I will borrow this off you and put it in a main comment as well .
Eatting as always on his lives …. Omg I love this kid!
I Knew Jeff Buckley Briefly, He toured the UK & I met him at the first show in Reading & talked, he invited us to his next show & we saw him 4 times, One of them in Bristol where my friend I went with saw Tim Buckley play 20 years prior! At the end he gave me some signed promo's & a bunch of stuff, Regrettably when he died, I had my guitar stolen, I needed another so I had to sell some of it, I still have the guitar I bought with the money from selling them, I call the Guitar Jeff! He was one of the great ones, Like Ren, A total Star!
I love that Ren was a fan of this channel, and you're now a fan of his. Fantastic channel, love the interview.
I saw Jeff Buckley live in 95, at Queen's Hall in Edinburgh, where I now live. I was stood in front row directly in front of him at the mic. Will never forget him performing Hallelujah. One of the finest gigs in my life. Saw Leonard Cohen perform at Edinburgh Castle in 2008, and his performance of the song didn't compare, although it was a good gig, though not as good as Jeff's gig.
Hello
Blago onima koji su vidjeli J.Buckleya uživo.To je nešto vjerojatno što se ne zaboravlja.Ja sa, ga upoznala preko YouTuba.I to relativno kasno Prije 4 godine ali moralo se dogoditi.I od tada Jeff me obuzeo kao nitko i ništa do sada.Jednostavno takav se više neće naći
.Ren ima nešto slično nadam se novom albumu možda stvarno napravi nešto bezvremensko kao što je Jeff Buckley.Ali kažem nitko ne pjeva kao što je Jeff pjevao.A i ne samo pjevao nego i odlično svirao gitaru.I bio jedno krasno biće koje je nažalost zauvijek otišlo ali ostavio nešto što se zove bezvremensko, anđeosko,profinjeno.
U svakom slučaju drago mi je vidjeti da Jeff Buckleya i danas netko sluša.
EXACTLY the interview I wanted! (Mine mine gimme :)) so glad you guys talked about music!! Thank you so much!!! Such a good one. Woop Woop 🙌🏼🙏🏼🎶
Holy shit now everything makes sense. The only two artists ive ever been mad about is avjcii and jeff buckley, now i know why im in love with ren so much. Thank god i have found someone to help fill the void the deaths of my two idols left in me. Ren you have saved me
“That’s not an expression of me, that’s an expression of me *wanting* something…”💥
Wisdom in this interview, epitomizes 'inter' and view' a real opening to reveal the process...Pavov said 'Passion and Gradualness is the path to mastery' REn saying "I sucked' and the people who called out 'You're rubbish man!' were right". But it didn't matter...perseverence on the path....wow, wow, wow...such a beautiful reveal of the process...
This just came into my feed! Unfortunately, I have to save it to watch later. Going into a meeting. So excited for you!❤
It really was a wonderful interview Chris.. you both had so much to impart to each other.. Ren is a different texture than most.. he gives people strong feelings whether they appreciate him or not.. it is his voice and music, of course, but it is his inner strength and the beauty of who he is that comes out when he sings and performs.. and I think his little comment I just love music really captures his essence.. so glad you guys got to meet online and exchange in a meeting of the minds.. thanks!🎶♥️🎶
Thank you 🙏🙏❤ 🐷 Ren & Chris 🧑🎤 ❤ for the interview!
Great work, Chris! Also, Ren, if you see this, you're an inspiring talent.
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!
☀️☀️☀️
💚💛❤️
🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
God, the sick boi album is hardly out, my copy hasn't even arrived yet - and now I already wait impatiently for the next one.
We love you Ren, and I am so proud of how you've been getting healthier and growing as an artist. You are an amazing soul, and we all need more Ren in our lives!! Keep on keeping on.
absolutely great conversation, i could be listening you both forever... i love your videos and your passion for music Chris, and since i discovered Ren i just can't stop loving him more and more each day, he's an amazing and beautiful human being and everything he does touches me right in the heart. I love all kinds of music, and all his music is always gorgeous to me, for sure it is because of what you've been talking about, the expression, the feeling ❤❤❤ love you guys!
That was a great comment - I couldn’t have put it better . Ren is an amazing and beautiful soul .
Ren is the Past, Present & Future.
He's already making a positive impact in the time he's been here already!
It's so refreshing to see the inspiration, love of music and the art in Ren. Well done both
Hearing Ren talk about his next album has got me really curious and anxious to hear what he creates... this guy is a really rare and special artist and human being.
OMG! Is it my birthday? This is the interview I’ve been waiting for. So many great insights into REN’s process and how fantastic he gave you the props you so deserve. You’re the best! ❤
Ren's love of oddball timing and musical cues makes me wonder what he'd make of Clown Core.
What a great interview. I really appreciate the insightful questions, and that you let Ren speak. I've seen interviews where interviewers seemed a bit overwhelmed and tended to gush/talk over Ren - totally understandable to be fair, but a bit frustrating for folks tuning in to hear from Ren. This was lovely, has given me lots to think on - thank you!
Ren chatting about generational talent like he isnt in that realm 😂😂😂 sick boi indeed 🤘✌❤
Now we talking about a good interview...
Two beautiful people having musically beautiful conversation😘👌💯
Was great to wake up to this today!😄
So much love and respect for Ren.❤
He did it! Ren got the #1 spot on the UK charts!!
Yessssssssss
I remember Ren saying he chooses reviews where the interviewer will bring a different perspective to other interviewers.
Great interview and well thought out questions that you could tell Ren appreciated and enjoyed talking about.
So many gems in this interview hidden and in your face. I was impacted in many ways. Very encouraging and inspiring and affirming. Thank you Ren and Chris. 🙏🥰
Probably not the best video to post this comment, but thought I would let you know how much you have helped me in my journey to find my voice. I had vocal lessons for 1 year last year, this opened up my voice to be able to experiment, your videos have taken my voice to the next level, advice around experimenting with characters was a game changer. This on top of the countless hours of your videos I have watched have unlocked vocals I didn’t think were possible from my voice. Thank you, thank you! Please keep doing what you are doing! Great interview btw, I love Ren’s music
Let's gooo, push this Sick Boi! So far, pretty good interview, thanks a lot, Chris!
Fantastic interview 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congratulations Ren on the success of the album and especially Money Game 3, probably my favourite video ever, an absolute masterpiece and as a 59 year old I’ve seen a few ❤
I don’t think doing a different style isnt reinventing yourself it’s just a different expression of REN’s personality. I can’t wait for the new album!!! More my style as much as I love sick boi
One word that to me sums up this interview for you Chris - "fulfillment." Well done sir.
Yesssss
This is one of the better interviews I’ve seen with Ren. Good questions, listening (instead of cutting him off to ask your next question), and just being able to see an artist recognizing an artist and all the technical aspects that go along with that-anyway, just well done. Thanks.
I could ENDLESSLY listen to the both of you. You both have such fantastic speaking voices, with soothing tembres. Thanks for this Chris!
Thank you! ❤❤
So excited to watch this interview! Ren is a doll and any time we get to listen to him talk about his process is fantastic. Thanks Chris and congrats on the interview!
Hi Ren. Keep up the good work. You're providing a lot of light to a lot of people. Stay humble tho!
Such a pleasure, all the respect to you both❤
Wow that flew by. Loved that. Well done Chris 👏
Well Chris I guess a big thankyou is in order for being part of Ren's journey and growth.
Imagine that eh, you are part of the story now.
!!! RIGHT!?! SO AMAZING... I am simply honored!
This conversation 😁.... my heart is full ❤🖤💙❤ thank you gentlemen.
I’m so happy that you got to do this interview. You asked great questions that made for a great conversation. ❤
Excited for this!
Lovely interview. So uplifting, informative and inspiring. 🎶💕
Thank you, thank you so much for this interview!❤
Phenomenal Artist. Great interview. Really enjoyed Diolch yn fawr 🏴🏴☠️🇺🇸
Magnificent 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So happy you got to do this. Jumped on it as soon as it uploaded
Rooting for Ren to be UK number1 album this week. Get buying people, make it happen
Ren has the ability to completely draw out every emotion in those that hear his songs. Absolutely love it!
I found you both separately, so it's nice to see this come together! Great interview, thanks Chris & Ren
Awesome interview, this one feels so different from others with the way you approach the questions from the storytelling/vocal technique perspective. I also gotta say that I love Ren's "quantum" storytelling - there are infinite interpretations and they are all true.
Kudos to you for helping him without even knowing . and im sure he is not the only one . keep it up .
Thank you lads! Great content
What a great interview! How inspiring and humble is Ren. We could learn so much from him. Great questions Chris
great interview Ren has such a beautiful soul ❤❤😊
I love these men 💜
Thank you again Ren for your wisdom! And thank you Chris Liepe for being a great host!
Chris Liepe such brilliant interview and a great discussion. Love that you and Ren both really love Jeff Buckley and that Ren likes to express things in the moment. I appreciate the way Ren is real and knows the contradictory nature of life, that we all long for things whilst wanting betterment for ourselves and others.
A wonderful interview and finding about his influences as he becomes an influence and inspiration to others now. His vocal and musical expressions are amazing to hear with headphones on.
Watching him speak about his ability to project as a story teller is so masterfully done ❤ love his creative process ❤
Absolutely awesome interview between two great talents ❤
Oh boy…so excited to see this, didn’t disappoint, made my week! Thank you both.😊
