"Hi Ren" blew me away, and that elation I feel when my emotions are tapped in a very real way left such an impact on me, I had to dive deep into the rabbit hole. Many songs later, and many tears as well, I finally had the honor of sitting with Ren to find out what makes him tick. Don't miss this entire event!

Ren is just a really lovely lad, isn't he? You just can't help but root for this guy.
A two and a half hour interview with out a boring moment. Ren is really quite an impressive individual.
Yes! He’s a very lovely lad who is so talented and gorgeous inside and out! He has changed my out look on life more then he’ll ever know! He’s a legend❤!!!!!
Unfortunately though, he is turning into a magician.
@@garytyme9384 ?
@@garytyme9384 what ?
Holy Sick Boi, Batman! First a tribute from Harry Mack, and now a Tea Time with Elizabeth!!! Truly "Top of the bunch" Ren. Huge huge HUGE congrats for your immensely deserved success and recognition this past year!
Two of my favorite people on the planet...absofrackinglutely GIDDY
@DocHogan yep it's nuts and to have harry mack who I love, to do a tribute ro ren. Talk about crazy worlds Colliding serendipity, and tomorrow nigbt after a hard day's work I can enjoy ren and another favourite together. This past 12 months has been literally life changing on massive scale. And all from ren and what he had say, how he wanted to tell it.
I've been listening to music most of my 51 years. And though metal is my go to. I do have broad tastes (adhd yay😂)
And ren literally can only be Categorized musically as REN
He's a beautiful one off, who's radiance just draws people together.
Great, funny comment. 😂
Thank you, and congratulations, Ren, for the success you're having with the music you've made... it is truly art!!&! Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing this interview with us all!!&! The giddiness and joy we see in you with this interview is FUN, as well, it is very informative !!&! BRAVO to you, both!!&! 🎉❤
I agree, I really enjoyed this episode!
I think that this is maybe the 3rd or 4th podcast I've seen with Ren and I realise, that I enjoy hearing him speak as much as hearing him perform...
Same! He needs to have a Ren Rambles channel lol
Agreed! 😊
@@IronRaspberrytbh he could release a podcast where he reads out washing machine manuals and I'd listen
@@gemgwilliam 🤣 Same!
I would listen to Ren recite flat pack instructions 😆
Honestly, how can anybody not be inspired by Ren? How can anyone not love this guy as a human being?
As a fellow longhorn, it’s amazing isn’t it?
💯
I agree, I feel like I've been in a sociology and psychology and music class today! in a good way
Exactly
@@thatguyfromtexas13 🤘🏼
I absolutely LOVED that Liz was on the verge of tears at least three times during this interview. Ren's answers were kinda heartbreakingly honest in those moments, and I don't know how she managed to hold it together.
Yes! Her real emotion is such a beautiful thing, I always come back for it. But I cried multiple times watching this, so massive kudos to Elizabeth for somehow avoiding that.
I've watched hours of Ren talking to people and feel like he's only spoken 1 miliionth % of everything he's got to say. Such warm, raw wisdom flows from him. Fast becoming an Icon and only in his early 30s. Just amazing.
That type of wisdom often comes from being deep in the trenches of one’s own mind. Something which I have no doubt he has done many times
This is my favorite of the Ren interviews. Elizabeth ask amazing probing question of Ren, and then gave him the space to answer them as he wanted to. She managed to share a little of her own experiences, but kept the focus on Ren throughout.
I feel like I learned more about Ren's music and voice philosophy, and the creativity behind his songs, than in all of the other interviews.
Im an older guy who loves watching people reacting to things I already knew. I didn't know you Ren. You are an amazing artist sir.
I hope that encouraged you to check out some of his work ❤
Listen to the music / it’s wonderful. Ren single handedly rejuvenated my interest in new music.
Ren seems to me like a storyteller from Elizabethan times, I'm actually always waiting for him to appear in a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theater...
Bardcore!
For everyone who ever sarcastically said "Oh Okay, where did you learn that, on TH-cam?"......Ren- "HOLD MY BEER". This young man became a self taught musical maestro via TH-cam. It's not about WHERE you learn, it's about HOW and WHAT. Ren is living, SUCCESSFUL proof. Thank You Ren for helping to solidify that concept. You can have have immense amounts of talent and ambition, but without persistence and a pathway to follow, or a set goal to achieve, where does it lead?
It probably helps being gifted 😅 how he talks, what he thinks about, how he learned playing music, that all tells me he's pretty gifted in the head 😅 probably IQ above 130
Isnt his Mum a music teacher? Natural musical talent & a hugely intelligent & empathetic outlook which is prob why his music, storytelling & lyrics appeal to such a wide demographic. His fan base if you read the comments on any track he drops spans from teens to seniors.
@@sarahholland2600I think she’s a voice teacher but a lot of us don’t like coming home from work and doing our job nonstop. I’m a photographer that really has got to get better about taking photos of my own children… and unless they asked me directly I wouldn’t try to push my knowledge on them.
Harry Mack personifies this. He has amazing talent but also has put in years and years of hard work.
@@LeeannG His dad is also musical . Just saw a TH-cam saying how Ren inspired him to sing his truth. How powerful.
For me this has come full circle in a synchronistic kind of way. The Charismatic Voice (one of my favorite reaction channels) was my introduction to Hi Ren back in March. (Ren instantly became one of my favorite artists.) Then I saw Elizabeth react to The Darkness shortly after that, which led me to Justin Hawkins Rides Again. A little while after that I saw Justin react to Hi Ren, then do an interview with Ren, followed by an interview with Elizabeth, who is now interviewing Ren. Yes, we definitely live in a virtual reality! 😳😳😳
Edit: Oh, and Chris Liepe is intertwined in all of this synchronicity too, because he reacted to Ren, Ren revealed he was a CL subscriber, Chris had Elizabeth on his show, and Chris interviewed Ren. (And shortly after Chris's interview, a flying saucer landed in my back yard! 👽Well, I made that last part up....)
And - Chris and Elisabeth together with Will Ramos did a reaction to Ren x Chinchilla live Chalk Outlines!
@@REN4eva Yup, I forgot that. Oh, and yesterday I received my Sick Boi CD in the mail, first album I bought in about 20 years. And what was the album I bought 20 years ago? Black Sabbath Paranoid, the one with War Pigs on it....
That's kinda how my introduction went too. I'd been following Elizabeth for about six months before Hi Ren, and a few others. Suddenly everyone was reacting to Ren and, since I wasn't familiar with him, I initially gave the videos a pass... but, they kept showing up. Over and over... and over... again, everyone was reacting to Hi Ren. Then I saw that it had 9 million views in a very short time... so I circled back, watched it, and was blown away. The next day I showed my wife and, for the first time, I introduced her to an artist that would quickly become one of her favorites. Since then, I've watched at least 50 reaction videos to Ren and everyone is in awe of the pure talent he possesses.
My introduction to Justin Hawkins Rides Again was, literally, exactly the same as yours. I was familiar with The Darkness already, but hadn't realized that Justin ran a TH-cam channel. Chris Liepe is great too.
Pro ballet dancer 15yrs. Ballet master for 30. Sometimes I use Power, Seven Sins & Bittersweet Symphony when putting step sequences together in class.
@@artvulture Wow, cool! I've been a musician for a long time (since the 1960's), and played in orchestras, jazz combos, rock bands, folk duets, brass choirs. I love to see artists cross over to other genres, mix genres, etc. (One of the reasons I'm into Ren.) Bittersweet Symphony, of course, has an orchestral feel, perfect for ballet. I could see Seven Sins being more of a challenge rhythmically, almost like progressive hip-hop. I've only heard it a few times, so I'm not sure if it changes time signatures. Definitely a lot of flow changes, though. Power is at the top of my list of Ren songs.
Not often that an almost 2.5 hour video keeps your attention. This is the power of Ren. Thanks, Elizabeth, for a great interview!
This interview was amazing,! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕
I deeply hope that Ren's fans hear him when he says he can't be there for them.
I've seen the countless long messages about people's darkest moments and there's no way anyone can take that on.
I understand that Ren makes us feel seen/heard/understood but it has to be overwhelming.
Thanks for this interview.
Wishing Ren the most successful recovery possible 💕
Very much agree. I think in my view that's where state funded high quality Hypnotherapy and mp3s free for social security & low income retrained career guidance counselor as hypnothapist & Dv & crime victims, police & medics is key because of the pivotal role/ vulnerability and % mental health positive content on TV broadcaster license to operate be introduced in primary legislation. Of course regulation with all clients surveyed on results key & poorly performing put on supervision of effectiveness with reduction in pay. Also a personal development subject in schools on self hypnosis, visualisation, goal setting, death discussed and women ' mens health in school. My goal is to introduce that as affiliate to fast food outlets. That's my legacy along with learning how to sing like a story teller all the techniques to learn. First got to restructure my late dad's business casualty of 07 property crash. Just not enough psychologists qualifying. Too much focus on medication sedation only needs for small number of people
Very insightful comment. Our Artists are seemingly Strong and Seemingly Delicate and Sensitive. They are often victimized. More important than accolades and Awards is Kindness ❤❤❤
Thank you Elizabeth for introducing me to Ren. What an incredible talent. I’ve spent the last day diving into all of his music and videos
Ren is simply the Mozart of our time such genius !
Hey, I'm really keen to dive more into how Ren thinks, ya know? His creativity is off the charts - totally unique. Can't help but compare him to Jimi Hendrix; nobody else is coming close to this level of genius. He's gonna be a legend, inspiring a whole new generation of artists!
Great comparison. Hendrix is one of his heroes, and it shows in how he goes "all out" with his songs and videos.
+Jeff Buckley....🍀💚
I was pondering, if Ren is this current eras Beatles? not musicwise, just the phenomenon of "Here's something so new, and so versatile and so genius and so exciting like nothing that came before"
I knew Ren was an Empath. Yes, you have to protect yourself from overload. People are often exhausting for Empaths. We need to be within a community, yet sometimes, we must be alone to recharge from the intensity of social interaction.
There's no such thing as 'empaths'.
We are all empathic exept the sociopaths
@@adelbertomuggler372it is not fair or intellectually stimulating to reject someone’s belief without open discourse.
🎉@@adelbertomuggler372There is the academic way for expressing what one feels, thinks, and believe, very boring IMHO, and then there is human speaking.
Why is Ren's music so powerful and uplifting? Part of the reasons, I believe, is because there are "imperfections" in it. The song "All of Me," talks about why the dude is in love with this woman goes "All you perfect imperfections." Perfection in the arts, communication, and being human is so sterilizing.
I understood what Jeff was saying, and I enjoyed it.
Being a grammar Nazi, is so unfulfilling and wearisome. Been there, done it, wear the t-shirt of shame. I just have to say two things:
1. You have to be little to belittle.
2. You can't build yourself up by tearing another person down.
@@adelbertomuggler372having empathy and being an empath are different, just like being anxious and having anxiety are different
@@adelbertomuggler372 There are many levels of empathy. Empaths cannot easily turn theirs off and end up absorbing the feelings of others sometimes as if its their own. We're talking actual physical reactions, mild or severe, to the suffering of others. Not everyone does that. Some, in fact many can compartmentalize and have compassion without going to that level. It's easy to tell that Ren feels very deeply and I'm sure that's based on his own difficult journey.
The greatest single artist making art today in my opinion.
I agree
Ummm, Harry Mack just entered the chat. 😄
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You picked the perfect time to do this. With Ren riding high. Any sooner wouldn't have had the same impact.
I expect this to get a lot of views.
The best reaction/analysis channel. And the best new break through artist.
Ren is such an intelligent and thoughtful human, and this was a fantastic interview. Thanks Elizabeth for the great questions.
I can't believe it. If this interview's half as good as I think it will be, it's already legendary.
So recognizable! I didn't accept my 'death sentence' either, kept on searching and won over the terminal cancer. Ren is a very impactful young man ♥
VERY Much looking forward to this, I'd hoped this might happen for so long. Ever since I first saw Hi Ren, I knew Ren and his music were special, and I remember, the anticipation of when it was announced that your reaction/analysis were upcoming. The past 11 months have been a whirlwind, not just for Ren, but for the massive, positive fanbase that manifested around him. Never seen anything like it, and his album hitting #1 in the UK was an achievement celebrated by all of us. I'm glad he's starting to receive the attention he deserves, and I know this interview will bring him and his music to an even broader audience. 🙏💙
Wow, congratulations on getting an interview with one of the most amazing musicians of our time. I am a fan of both of you.
The way I feel about Ren's music is the way I felt about music as a teenager. (That's a rare feeling at 51 years old) While my personal struggles aren't identical to his, there are some very close parallels and seeing him succeed is inspiration to all of us who have suffered similarly.
This interview is one of the best things currently online. Thank you Elizabeth and Ren.
I love that Ren writes solely for himself first. That’s why I think so many people connect with it. Because it’s so real.
And I’d love nothing more than to hear (and participate in) a conversation around the hero/anti hero topic. That drew me in so much!
Ren, you're an absolutely special human. There are very few like you, and they all will live forever in our hearts no matter what. You've touched and helped so many people with your music and even more with your openness about your struggle. You motivate me to fight harder, work harder, and to never let my circumstances beat me. I know I'll never understand your fight, but the fact that you fight it motivates me. Thank you for existing and making the art that brought you over to me in the USA. You are a hero, you don't need a cape to save lives.
Elizabeth my favourite reactor, that was an epically good interview with Ren. My daughter was in school with him so for me it’s fascinating to see just how far he’s come especially given his health issues. I think we’ve yet to scratch the surface of what he has to offer.
So interesting! What grade?
From memory I think 8th grade - 12th grade. I cross the Menai Suspension Bridge where Joe decided to leave us daily. The Freckled Angel Restaurant dedicated to Joe is in the town of Menai Bridge. I now live near Beaumaris where Ren came to donate £21,000 to the guys from the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) who spent days in sub optimal conditions looking for Joe’s body. Thanks for your interest/comment
@@richwwardrugby oh so he was already thoroughly into music then? What does your daughter think about Ren being famous now?
This was such a great interview. I really, really enjoyed it! The part about how Ren realized that he wants that number one record and going that route. He just has such a way of explaining things in such an articulate way, understanding his own paradoxes makes me more aware of mine. He broke that down too so beautifully how it's easier to see in others.
Congrats Elizabeth, and probably the best interview I’ve ever seen from Ren and really enjoyed the fact you were the audience here and just let him articulate his thoughts! Expertly done ❤
That’s what happens when you put two empaths together for a discussion about a subject they both love. I think I learned a lot about both of them. Yes, the best interview, I choked when Elizabeth almost cried! Ren is truly amazing.
This is THE BEST interview I think BOTH of you ( @renmakesmusic and @thecharismaticvoice)
So intelligent, witty, nerding-out to sound/editing...such perfect back and forth conversation. One can tell you're enjoying each other's company. I could watch 100 hrs of the two of you chatting! ❤❤❤ SO GOOD!!! Thank you both for making time to do this!
I am on the edge of my seat for this interview, and the only Ren songs I've heard are from reaction videos. I'm scared that I'm going to end up buying his albums now, even though I haven't listened to this sort of stuff in a decade. When you reveal the real people behind the music I can't help but want to support them.
You need to interview healthy food and a gym subscription 😂
Do it! My wife just got hers in the mail. Cost us extra to ship to Canada from the UK, but it was absolutely worth it!
How in the world have you only watched reaction videos?! I’m so confused! 😂
@@the-dave-house-projectI just got my Sick Boi album last week - been blasting it on my car cd player . I had preordered it but it took a while to arrive in Ontario Canada where I live but was worth the wait.
Listening to Ren talk about his life and his struggles at times reminds me when I was a teenager a staff member at the state institution
I was put at told me a great quote by Louisa May Alcott. I am not afraid of storms,for I am learning how to sail my ship.
This should be a good tea. Him being British , and also an amazing storyteller and artist. Her being a genuine lover of tea and music, artistry and humans. Let’s fast forward and play. This should be on top of everyone’s watchlist.
P.S. He’s Welsh not British.
@@Calmontheoutsidewelsh English and Scottish are all British even though wales England Scotland are different countries 😁
@@Calmontheoutside This is a common misconception created through people asosciating "British" with being from England. It's actually a confusing clusterfuck. England is a country. Scotland and Wales are countries. Eventually, the Monarchy of England assumed control of Scotland and Wales, creating a group of countries under the English monarchy known as Great Britain. Later on, the monarchy also assumed control over Northern Ireland, while the rest remained a republic. This became known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Typically, it would only be middle to upper class English citizens who would proudly refer to themselves as "British". Technically, however, a Welsh or Scottish citizen is also a British citizen.
@@j800r_aswellthanks for explaining that so well. So even though Ireland belongs to the British Isles, the citizens are Irish. Ah, just found out it is even more complicated, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology_of_the_British_Isles#/media/File:British_Isles_Euler_diagram_15.svg
@@Calmontheoutside and Welsh people are British.. Wales and England have been united for 500 years, both countries neighbor eachother and together with Scotland and Northern Ireland make up the British nation, the United Kingdom. We Brits are a proud people, united.
Ren and his #1 album!!! Such an amazing artist. I can't wait to see this.
Every interview so far has been so unique, I can't wait to see what this one brings up!
This is going to be awesome. Ren is a gem.
Ren IS a gem - created through incedible, unimaginable pressure.
A Hope Diamond 😊
2 1/2 hours with two of my very favourite people. It must be my birthday and Christmas rolled into one. Elizabeth is just such a pure soul with such a technically astute love for music, and Ren is quite possibly one of the most gifted creatives I’ve ever had the pleasure of discovering (some 4 years ago now, perhaps even longer) and I’ve been absolutely hooked on everything he is involved in in any way ever since.
Caught maybe the last half hour live but watching back the full thing now. So far it’s everything I hoped for and more and I’m sure the rest will be too.
Both of you - @Elizabeth & @Ren, keep on keeping on and delivering your truth into the world. Much love from Scotland 🏴
Did i expect to start watching this late at night and finish it at 1:50 am? No.
Was it worth it? Every second!
You both are so wonderful!
Right? I needed to be in bed an hour ago. Not stopping this until it's over lol. Truly wonderful.
Ren is the most amazingly self-aware person I've ever seen. It comes across both in his lyrics as well as his interviews.
I was already a huge fan before today… but this interview was amazing and captivating every second. Love hearing about the time, effort and work that goes into REN’s work. It’s amazing to see someone who has had such a struggle in life rise above the pain to become ones best self. The insight into the stories and history that made him who he is today just pulls me further into his world and allows me to relate on a deeper level.
Ren's music is so important
Oh my Gosh. I could just listen to Ren talk forever. Thank you for this amazing interview and for letting him go on for so long down his tangents. He just never gets boring and the joy you were experiencing while talking with him was also so palpable. What fun.
This is just beyond delightful. I shouldn't be surprised but wow. This is so good.
Ren is an exception human being. Thank you for having him as a guest.
I bought Sick Boi on the night he was going for a push to No 1. I have had it on replay since I got it. There are so many different styles of music that he does. He is absolutely a true artist. It has be diving into his past works and I must say I am now a super big fan.
My respect and admiration for BOTH of you was very high BEFORE this event. Now?? I'm that much MORE impressed. Ren's reference to "Into the Wild" (Chris McCandless) was uncanny. It's one of my favorite books/movies/stories. The 'interview' (it felt more like a fireside discussion between good friends) was outstanding! Figuratively speaking, I love you both!
Oh, I am hanging out for this one!❤
Please tell Ren that I genuinely consider him this generation's Shakespeare. He is a master storyteller and lyricist. Not only that, he's so eloquent and...what is the word...aurally legible?...that I'm able to memorise his lyrics well enough to mostly sing along in maybe a dozen listens. It usually takes way longer and I have to actually read them. Not so with the boy Ren.
Oh, and the Money Game trilogy is a work of utter genius. Actually, one thing I have been wondering - the way Ren sings the last line of part 3 in the same tune as the chorus of part 1 - aside from being completely chilling in context - sort of struck me as what you'd call a "sequel hook" if it was a film (which, to be fair, it kinda was). Any chance of a part 4? I mean, I'm not sure if there are any more ways of saying "capitalism sucks and so does human nature", but I'll bet Ren can find it.❤
best interview yet I have seen with Ren - great questions leading into wonderful discussions
Hes a gift to our world
This was a wonderful interview, thank you Elizabeth. There is just something about Ren that is quite magical. ❤❤❤
To think, the person that made the decision to do that stim cell for him is honestly the reason we have this now. Kind of crazy.
I noticed you haven't yet reacted to How To Be Me, I think youd absolutely love it, it's one of my fav ren songs (ft chinchilla), and is brimming with visceral emotion & supreme vocals
Wow. Thank you so much for opening a window for us into your musicianship and battles. Ren's Hi Ren has helped me. Your lens is as strong as his. Thank you.
I loved this interview! Ren is so fascinating, and I love the way he is so thoughtful about everything he says. Also, Elizabeth, if you have any interest in the movie Ren talked about (Into The Wild), I wanted to let you know that Eddie Vedder did the all of the music for it. It is absolutely gorgeous!
I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS INTERVIEW!!!! Soo, soo excited. I've been praying Ren would sit for an interview with Elizabeth. 3 hours of pure awesomeness.
Miss Elizabeth, this was such a wonderful conversation! Thank you so much for your great questions and your viewers', too! I don't know how you managed to strap this man to a chair for 2 and a half hours but, you used every second of it to the fullest. Thank you for sharing your opportunity to pick his brain with us! 💐
Only having adhd is already enough to have so much blurriness in memory
“Ppl just want to see real”
Amen! 🙏
Too many ppl put more pressure on their own shoulders to be perfect than their audience does.
It’s the human side of everything that ppl really relate to it shows so many ppl that they are not alone.
We are all on individual journeys but sometimes happen to be on the same bus. ❤
Phenomenal interview Elizabeth. I really enjoy interviews with Ren because he is so open about himself, but it is even more special when the interviewer knows what to say and how to approach an artist. From this one it felt like the interview was a type of collaboration of its own. As a lifelong musician, now in my 70's, I am still amazed at how the personal suffering of someone with obviously great talent can transform into such incredible art and be so appealing to me personally. I had to give up performing because of my own illness so when others who are struggling with illness persevere and are still able to produce great work, it hits me and gives me so much satisfaction. Ren is truly a treasure. All the best to him and to you as well Elizabeth, for doing such great work.
Holy smokes, I was so hoping for this interview to happen. I cannot wait.
Me too!!
Well, that was a special youtube moment. Thank you both.
Two exceptional individuals chatting over tea is the best! Thanks to you both! ❤️🎶
He is so magical... Everything that comes out of his mouth is so thought out... He has a way with words... Now I know it is not limited to his music.
This is probably a true time-capsule of an interview / documentary piece of a very rare musical genius at a very significant time of his life and professional journey. Amazing job, Elizabeth, hope you get to do a part 2 someday.
I watched your money series review before this interview. I kept thinking about the line from Hi Ren that says "The voice you hear when you release the rope from you throat" It was something like that anyway. I see that thread through the videos I watched so far. I love Ren and I love you Elizabeth for humanizing everything you do. Kathryn
He is such a lovely young man. Thank you, Elizabeth, for a great interview with REN. Fascinating questions & illuminating answers, which is the best combination for an interview. I wish all the success & love for REN that he so obviously deserves, and the same for you. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
Gosh I’ve had to listen to this twice to absorb as much I can… this has completely taken over my first sober Friday night for a long time and what a blessing! Thanks Elizabeth & Ren! I have gained so much from this 🙏 some things I’m on the right lines with too so I’m happy that my energy is in the right place at the moment ❤big love!
Oh man, I loved this interview so much! Lots of things I learned about ren that I didn't know before, some great questions asked! I'm so glad you got to do this interview, I couldn't be more happier watching two people talk for over 2 hours😊💜🐷
Great interview Elizabeth. Of all the interviews with Ren I think yours stands out because you asked the technical questions of Rens methods of writing, recording, singing, acting and directing his art. Well done!
He is an excellent interview and he seemed to be enjoying himself conversing with you. You addressed his health and background as well which gave us a better look at Ren as a human being that has struggled mightily to survive and prosper while combating illness.
Thank you for your preparation and thoughtful questions of this one of a kind artist and beautiful soul. That speaks to you also as someone with an advanced education in music and a curiosity of the creative process and a knowledge of the physical ways that singing voices are created.
Enough said. I expected no less from you.
Ren is the best of the best in EVERYTHING! He challanges the legends of music in everything he does. Then, he slings out lessons that you never knew you signed up for. Talent, depth, grace, humanity, humility..... you name it, he has it. It has been over two decades since I have been inspired by an "artist". I shook the cobwebs out my ears and started paying attention to him and I never looked back. He has me listening to genres I never would have given a second look at years ago. This kid is going to shake open the world and open the eyes of the blind. Ren is a gift to anyone who will listen. He is so remarkable because he can find a way to reach anyone. Rap? Jazz? Regee? Blues? R &B? Punk? Metal? Gospel? Pop? Classic? Southern Rock? Ballads? Country [well..] so much more! He can find that spark in your soul and grab on with both hands. At my age, 47 year old mom, I never thought I would be listening to someone half my age and be taught grace and humilty through it. He is absolute magic. He deserves it all. Total fan girl crushing here! Who knew at my age? 😂😂❤ What he can do to a guitar and his voice is unheard of!! What little I know, of what he has delt with in his life, all I can say is he was forged in the fire and came out slinging blades. Wow. He is going far and he deserves it. All love to Ren!! ❤
I was so happy to see you had an interview with Ren! He is such a unique super talented human. He is inspiring and refreshing and so happy for his success 🎉❤
"And I was Ren again,
before that
I was just the shell of Ren."
That man rhymes when he's not even trying, people!
I've always found Misfits are some of the best people.
To hear Ren talk about how much love he puts into his music and the time he takes to perfect the sound is awesome. You can tell how passionate he is.
2 truly beautiful souls talking about things, so awesome.
This interview brings my Ren rollercoaster ride full circle. Elizabeth's reaction to Hi Ren was my introduction to him and it's been an amazing ride ever since.
If he is 60 to 70% can’t wait till he is 100%
I'm utterly moved after witnessing such a substantive interview. I find myself overflowing with thoughts, yet I'll graciously share just the sentiment that has touched me most deeply: Elizabeth and Ren, you truly personify the essence of success, and it's evident that every bit of recognition and achievement heading your way is immensely deserved. My heartfelt thanks for inviting us into this delightful conversation-it felt like being granted access to a secret garden brimming with wisdom, warmth, and incredible intellect.
He just described my early years to a tea 😂 seriously though Hi Ren moved me to tears when I heard it. That authentic honest self in me appreciates you.
I'm so excited to hear these two spill the tea, or alternatively, have a fantastic interview.
I can't wait for your interview with one of the most talented and authentic artist of today.
Amazing story
This woman is absolutely stunning . Saw her on a random recommended reaction . As a lawyer I must say that her presented Personality , mannerisms, expressions, etc. are completely enthralling.
😂 glad you specified your profession i wouldn't have believed you otherwise...
That comment made red wine come out of my nose: ouch, and lol...

I would absolutely watch a five minute or even two-hour Ren stream going through his live setup and the tools he uses to meticulously correct vocals and instrumentation. I spent a dozen years trying to learn audio editing our podcast just in Audacity alone and it was SO frustrating at times.
He’s inspiring, strong and just a beautiful genuine human being. 😊
Fascinating…well done Elizabeth and Ren.
I adore how you can visually see everyone who does an interview with Ren just fall in love with the astounding human being that he is! His story, struggle, success, dedication, passion, intellect, and humility just absolutely captivates. Most certainly a bright light in humanity. ❤
I love your reactions to him, they mirror my own: awestruck, gobsmacked, grateful, speechless. It’s just so nice to see someone else appreciate the art in front of them. Ren obviously considers every detail.
(Rewatch Jenny’s tale and see where he pauses after saying she was dragging her feet (i.e., 14 year old girl, in high heels, had walked these streets a thousand times before). He paused and subtly, briefly looked at the graffiti on the wall. It says lick. She wanted to sleep, she wanted to escape.)
It’s layers upon layers.
When reactors look at a Van Gogh and say, “eh, it’s a bit messy”. 🤦♀️
So, I appreciate this honest humble gobsmacked reaction. 🙏 sir!
The ultimate Ren interview , wouldn't expect any less from Elizabeth , was watching live on the night she got her 1,000,000 th sub , that was something , congrats
Dude you are not ill,, just too intelligent for the circumstances you were in made you believe that the problem is with you and not the world...
That last question is something I've been thinking about, and glad to hear Ren is cool with covers.
That being said, I feel like for obvious reasons, Hi Ren does belong to Ren. It'd be very hard and awkward for me to cover that one.
This artist is so special I can't wait to watch this.
This interview just gets better and better 😊 well worth the time spent watching 🙌🏽 thanks Elizabeth (and obviously thanks to Ren!)
The greatest single artist making art today
This was such a great interview with the biggest genius of our time. Ren really is shaking up the music industry. His music is so fresh, inventive and new. The way he draws upon his illnesses and pain makes his music so relatable to everyone, because we’ve all been through tough times where we’ve doubted ourselves. Rens music has been the best therapy I’ve had in over 30 years. His music has made me feel things for the first time since I was 17. I’m now nearly 48. The light that Ren shines upon the state of the world and our planet as well as our philosophies and outlooks is really beautiful. His message is that we need to change. Bring on the renvolution!
So great to see two of my favorite vocal nerds, enjoy a beautiful conversation about a subject they both love.
Love listening to Ren, he's so warm, humble and down to earth, so much wisdom and intelligence for someone so young. Everything he's been through you can't help but feel for him. So glad he's getting better. We're all rooting for you Ren ❤ Loved this interview, one of the best yet that I've seen
Great guy. Huge talent.
Phenomenal interview between two exceptionally talented humans. Thankyou.
