I wrote this introduction to Ren when I first discovered him earlier this year, as there wasn’t a Wikipedia entry for people to look him up prior to March 2023. I have posted this info to every “Hi Ren” reaction I have come across since, and I hope it will be of some use to the uninitiated. “Hi Ren” is the song that put Ren on everyone's radar since December; it went viral and has garnered over 11 million views since its debut, but he has been creating great music for more than ten years. Ren’s music videos are generally recorded live, often in a single take, although not necessarily the first take, and from various camera angles. His release, "Sick Boi," is almost another chapter to "Hi Ren." Many of Ren’s songs resonate with people because he addresses struggles that many others face every day. Ren is an independent artist/singer/songwriter/busker from Brighton, UK. He plays multiple instruments (acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, drums), has impressive vocals, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. He is considered by many a modern-day bard; he calls his music “bardcore.” Ren’s earliest recordings on UA-cam are from his time in a band called “Trick The Fox,” consisting of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren’s onset of health issues. They are very talented. A fun clip to watch is “The Mash Up.” Ren’s trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" has been likened to a Shakespearean tragedy and is a prime example of his genius; it is a master’s class in storytelling and also showcases his guitar skills. The three acts are haunting, and the conclusion will catch you off guard. The trilogy needs to be watched in the order given, as this is the flow of the storyline and is best watched as a whole rather than piecemeal. Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me,” “Sexual Healing,” “One Dance/Drunk in Love”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice. His live music videos are especially impressive. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation, although it is less of a personal song than it is an indictment of greed and the resulting injustices in this world. Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “The Hunger,” “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right Here, Right Now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” "Hold On," his new release “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake),” and his latest release "The Illest Of Our Time," just to name a few. Ren's performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned It /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon/No Diggity,” “Feeling Good/Trouble So High/Masterblaster (Jammin'),” “Latch,” “Wild Thoughts/Crazy in love (Live Session),” “Same Old Situation (Live, feat. Ren),” “Improvising Around Stevie Wonder,” “What Went Wrong” Part I&II) are definitely a must. Also, his collaborations with Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), Orlean ("Jessica"), his former bandmate Romain Axisa (“French Song”), are all great. Last but not least, Ren’s busking sessions with Liv Sangster are awesome. I recently discovered that Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful. "The Big Push" (Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, Romain Axisa, and Glen Chambers) busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. All but the drummer sing lead vocals at times. Ren, Gorran, and Romain all play multiple instruments. Ren plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, piano, and drums. Gorran plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, and harmonica. Romain plays acoustic, electric, bass guitar, ukulele, and piano. They are each incredibly gifted artists, and their solo work is completely different from each other. Well worth checking out. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong” are awesome. On “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. The songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive. The band, at least for the time being, performed their last official busking session and gave their last concert in September of last year (2022) due to the fact that Ren was leaving for Canada to undergo specialized medical care and surgeries for his multiple health issues. In anticipation of his stay in Canada, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next six months that he expects to be gone. He released “Sick Boi” and “Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve retake),” which is another masterful work. Ren just released his newest song, “Illest Of Our Time,” on his birthday, March 29. His newest release, "Animal Flow," will premiere on May 04.
55 yo who hate Rap my whole life here! Going on a month getting blown away daily... even his older stuff like Ocean, Humble and Life is Funny!!! PS... I think I've seen most of the reactors of him as well!!! Lol
It’s about time Ren receives more recognition in Germany, so thanks for sharing your awesome reaction. You are about to go on a journey with him, I have entered the rabbit hole a little less than two months ago, and I have no intention of coming out.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole where you find an artist who excels in every genre and crosses alll boundaries. Ren is a Singer/Songwriter, Rapper, Multi-Instrumentalist (Guitar both electric/acoustic), Bass, Piano, Drums, Beatboxer, Poet, Storyteller (Bard), Producer. He is infulenced heavily by Soul/Reggae/Ska/90's Rap/Jazz an you'll find the blennding of ssome of these genres in his catalog of work. You never know what youll get with Ren, but you'll love it every time.
It blows my mind that this whole thing was one live take. How he switched his voice, facial expressions, and body language so fast and seamless all while playing his guitar without any effort also switching it up. Acting superb. On top of all he was juggling he still kept his focus in each part to the right spot in the room to give the illusion of looking at the other. Then, towards the end, he set his gaze directly at the camera. It was all so brilliant. He knew exactly how to apply tension to the strings to activate our unease. He knew how to urge our sympathy toward the calmer Ren. And the real beauty of it is his honest vulnerability. What he said was what he had been experiencing and, no doubts, real internal battles. It wasn’t empty. He has been in great pain and really has struggled with those health issues. Go down the Ren rabbit hole. Amazing! He can rap, like really RAP. He can sing any style. He can play guitar far better than you saw here plus he plays the piano expertly and the drums even. He composes. He mixes. He beatboxes. It’s a fun ride!
what i keep thinking is that originally he was writing a song with the intro then the voice in his head started talking so he just decided to write down what that voice was telling him then ended it with his original idea of a song with no lyrics :)
The discordant tone’s aggressive plucking posture facial expressions and lighting of the shadow side differentiates him from the light side. Simply and beautifully done. I believe they had 3-4 cameras to film four takes of which he chose the best one. So this is a live recording with a lapel mic and his guitar plugged in.
So I have been down in the rabbithole that is Ren's music for months and months, and there is soooo much to discover. He raps, has a beautiful singing voice, he is a storyteller, a busker and an arrtist through and through. I have never seen someone so talented in my life 🙌🏻 Please check out more of his music. Everything you find is amazing. Liebe Grüße von der Nordseeküste 🌊⛵️🐚
He has been working towards being a professional musician since 12 yo. As a teen in music school Sony discovered him busking and offered him a contract. They dropped him after he became I’ll and confined to bed 23 hours a day. He was misdiagnosed and hence 8:45 received wrong treatments for 7-8 years. Finally he was properly diagnosed with Lyme disease, by which time it had ravaged his body and mind. He has since had a stem cell transplant which helped, but his health continues to wax and wane. He is currently in Canada undergoing a new treatment for a new demylenating autoimmune disease. He sings about how he has not given into victimhood, but look at his disease as part of the journ😢c that has brought him to this point. Tragically, beautifully inspirational- don’t be a victim- be a student- learn and incorporate!
Many of us reacted just like you! It was a beautiful experience that stays with you and in some cases, changes you in ways you never expected! I think of Ren as the gift that keeps on giving and I welcome you on your Ren journey😊
Willkommen auf deinem Rentrain! Dieser Kaninchenbau ist enorm tief - genieß deine Reise! Ich freue mich, dass Ren nun endlich in Deutschland ankommt. Er ist ein Geschenk für die Welt! Grüße aus Hessen👋
Bro... you want Lyrical works from Ren... Insomnia, Ocean, Humble, Life is Funny, and Blind Eyed... the Cafe version is best lyrically... but the official video is Awesome... but then the Live version where the Angry Parking Lot Attendant is close to perfect! Solely due to the fact its off the charts, cuffs, wholey performance artistry!!!
Awesome to see you back! Ren is so talented. He has some fantastic story telling ability shown in the trilogy of "Jenny & Screech & Violet." He also has hard rap in songs like "Hunger" definitely a artist you should check out.
Bro... I cannot wait to witness your Ren journey!!! Again... after this... when you see the songs I listed below... your heads gonna Hurt!!! Be like WTHeck Over!?!?!?!? For more great guitar and Master Level Storytelling with Rap... his Je NY and Screech trilogy should be next! Just make sure it's the FULL version! It has all 3 short stories in the right order, one one video! Mindblowing to say the least! Then... watch Hunger! Then... watch his band The Big Push I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop... then continue on the list I gave ya! It's like no two songs from this cat are the same!! It's Crazy! He's Unbelievably Talented!!!
Your stunned expression says it all. Welcome to the RENaissance Ren's is a Unicorn 🦄 Every song is different. Please take a dive down the Ren Rabbit Hole with us RENegades. Check out The Hunger. Illest of our time. Losing it. Genesis
I've watched so many reactions to 'Hi Ren' since discovering him last month. This is up there as one of my favourites! You were RENdered speechless by the chaotic beauty of Ren's artistic gift - I still get chills listening to this song. There's so much more to discover when you take a trip down the rabbit hole 🐇 🕳 🖤 I watched an old interview with Ren yesterday when he was asked which countries he likes, Germany was there straight away. I live in Bavaria - Can't wait til he tours here! ****Animal Flow**** Ren's new song premieres today. Please react to it ❤ Four legs good Two legs bad.
@@TRKocher you went from Hi Ren to Animal Flow??! Your brain must be fried, so many Easter eggs for you to find in his back catalogue to join the dots between those two for you.
Loved watching your reaction 🤗 Welcome to The world of Ren x Even more amazing that was live! I only found him mid March I watch Sick Boi next then Chalk outlines (live) and then I have been swimming in his rabbit hole where I joined “The Big Push” rabbit hole and of course “Chinchilla” hope you get to feel as I do. Big love from 🏴
thanks to Jens Randolff ( comments above ) for the Ren bio.......Ren is still in treatment and has a GoFundMe account to help pay tremendous medical bills.....the Pig is a Butcher, I believe Ren's comment on some doctors and therapists and appears in other Ren videos ( "Sick Boi" )....the discordant guitar and vocals represent Ren's internal chaos, as do the blinking lights...."Truth in a blender, deceitful Pretender".......
More Ren. Doesn't matter what, it's all great. He's dropping a new song today, Animal Flow. It premieres in GB at 8 pm. Here on the continental states anywhere from noon to 3 pm.
🚂🚂🚂 WELCOME ABOARD THE REN TRAIN!!! 🚂 🚂 🚂 #RENAGADES You NEED to go dowm the Ren rabbit 🕳️. So many different genres but all fire. Alot of live one shot takes, music with substance amd real life themes, and an amazing community who is so welcoming! Ren is an Independent GOAT 🐐
It simply is a piece of art. If you want something more light hearted go for LOSING IT. If you want to see him rap rap GENESIS or THE HUNGER are your best options. And please put on a t-shirt. I am 53 and don't want to be in the role of a granny lurking at nude youngsters. Beste Grüße aus dem Weinberg 🤘
Ditto about the shirt. Don't need shirtless men on videos. Unless...well I'll leave it there, I am 74 years old, not sure my age means anything, but just putting it there. LOL
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available. Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity
Ich werde bestimmt mal auf meinem deutschen Kanal was über Ren machen als Reaktion, nur mach ich auf dem deutschen kanal nur Reaktionen wenn mein Main Content ausfällt.
Nice nice nice ¡! As a rapper and a singer he has very nice rap songs and covers from black sabbath bob marley ánd many other bands. Dont miss Genesis and Sick boy very lyrical rap songs. Peace ✌.

Simply and beautifully done. I believe they had 3-4 cameras to film four takes of which he chose the best one. So this is a live recording with a lapel mic and his guitar plugged in.
How many rappers have ya seen on guitar and piano? He's on his Own Lane!
No One compares to him!!!
Soon enough... people will be compared to him!

Ditto about the shirt. Don't need shirtless men on videos. Unless...well I'll leave it there, I am 74 years old, not sure my age means anything, but just putting it there. LOL
I will react to his other stuff aswell!
i normally have shirts on btw xD It was just so hot :D
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's livestreams and posts where he discussed his condition. Ren Erin Gill is a British musician/independent artist; born in Wales on March 29, 1990; he eventually moved to Brighton. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue and subsequently dropped by Sony.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is currently in Calgary, Canada for more treatments, including surgeries, and will have to be there for at least six months (Summer of 2023) undergoing IV and other interventions five days a week. Ren recently underwent wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery. In addition, his Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Now, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel, if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Here is the link to Ren’s GoFundMe page to raise money for his current treatment. Ren has exceeded his initial goal. However, his goal was very conservative and did not reflect the added costs of unforeseen surgical procedures, and treatment for additional health issues such as MCAD. www.gofundme.com/f/ren-get-better-from-lyme-disease-and-autoimmunity

Nice nice nice ¡! As a rapper and a singer he has very nice rap songs and covers from black sabbath bob marley ánd many other bands. Dont miss Genesis and Sick boy very lyrical rap songs.
