    In Ren's 1 Million Subscribers/Defining Success video, he advises people feeling rage or bitterness to "feel it, express it, give yourself love, and the anger will pass." That's exactly what he did with the beat down: he expressed his feelings through art, which is a very healthy, safe way to do it. But it's also a shocking introduction to Ren if you're unfamiliar with much of his other work.
    You're right that he stumbled over that one line: the original is "Sell water to a fish, sell time to a clock."
    You'll soon realize that Ren has RIDICULOUS breath control, and everything you hear is 100% deliberate. I've heard very few singers outside of opera who can control their vibrato as well as he does.

    Don't worry about being late to the party! For vocal performance, I think you'd appreciate his Back on 74 retake and the Fred Again mashup. There's also his busking videos with the Big Push - the Wade in the Water mix is a good intro there, and then the red braces/suspenders set.
    Regarding his accent, the base is North Walian - and I think that helps with the enunciation - plus a lot of Brightonian/London/generic on top.
    Regarding claims, Ren allows his videos to be monetised and you can be added to a whitelist for the future - if no one else has sent the link already, I can chase it up.

    The voice technique and the little shake you think is breath management i think is part of his acting. He never seems to have breath issues . We often discuss when does he breathe. He has said he is a follower of Wim Hoff and he can hold hus breath fir 3 and a half minutes. He uses ice baths when he can to reduce inflamation from the autoimmunity in his body.
    He does have strong reggae influence also Sting. Please react to Hi Ren?37 million views in less than 2 years. Back on 74/Message in a Bottle retaje will give you his singing side. Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/ Trouble so Hard, with the Big Push and with Sam Tompkins, Earned it/Man's World/ Falling.

    Ren had not done a live solo show for 5 years until July at the Secret Garden Party. This is the first time on TV and only 2nd time live in 5 years. He moved right past the slip without a blink. He is one of the bravest people to do this, live, this song, to all the big wigs in London. ❤❤❤ he has been very ill and he has finally turned a corner. if you keep going down the rabbit hole you will see is breath control is unbelievable, never runs out of air. Every not and delivery is intentional.

    He plays tons of instruments. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, piano, he played drums in the early days of The Big Push before Glenn joined, ukulele, melodica, and he's made mention of playing a little cello before, but he's never recorded himself playing. He also beatboxes, makes his own beats, and records and mixes all his own music. The talent is out of this world. As a former musician, I am so jealous, haha.

    Ren is an artist in every sense of the word. A genius one at that and a humble and beautiful soul. I always suggest that reactors new to Ren's music check out his 1 Million Subscriber (Defining Success) video to get an idea of the type of person he truly is. Nice reaction, btw. Yes, Ren missed a bit on that one line. It should have been "sell water to a fish" but he recovered admirably and most folks who aren't familiar with this song (most of the audience I think) would never even catch it. He did a great job on his first ever live TV performance in front of a bunch of elites. I'm sure he had some nerves going into it.
    Ren can sing like a songbird. HIs catalogue is deep and I hope you take the dive into the rabbit hole. I think you'll be amazed and pleased. Subbed to watch the journey.

    because he wanted to make this point to an audience of wealthier and many industry people. In case your having copyrite clearance issues, I'll post the info for you to get them cleared. He allows reactors to earn revenue. 😊

    & re: kujo, Ren even offered a kujo a deal to make a whole new song and split all earnings 50/50, so he genuinely tried to find a new solution that yielded better outcomes for everybody. Definitely an interesting point in Ren’s timeline to jump in lol!!

    There was a 35 minute video explaining the situation ( a week or so) BEFORE he released the song. I can totally understand where you were coming from- without knowing the WHOLE situation. He said multiple times in the explanation video that he expressly DID NOT WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE OUT THEIR OUTRAGE BY CAUSING MORE CHAOS. He was essentially being extorted by Kujo and his lawyers over the song Sick Boi. It was removed from YT AND FROM ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS and people were asking “ where is Sick Boi?”. And so , in order for it not be used as leverage he made the decision to remove it completely. This was a catharsis for him.
    ****
    Yes, every single thing Ren does is his conception, vision, and expression. And intentional. The visual here is actually from MG part 1. I highly recommend doing all 3 parts.
    **** And while this was very good, Ren was experiencing a flair up of the co infection Bartonella and ended up in our equivalent of the ER and his team had to take over his accounts. * YES, HE DID LEAVE OUT THE LYRICS “ Sell water to a fish…., sell time to a clock. As you know, being a fellow autoimmune warrior, stress is a top cause for flare ups. Which again, caused the renegades to become extra protective and defensive of him.💙

I have followed him for awhile and done some deep digging back to "trick the fox" whem he was very young. His genius ability was evident then and then losing almost 10 yrs of your life in severe pain. Bedridden for years . Misdiagnosed for year's he had lymes disease. It tore up his body and mind. Etc. Just finished treatmentin canada . So this man has been through it. And his music he wrote was his driving force. . Thats the hi ren video. Its his story folks. Not theatre art.

He repeated the line twice to stay in time. Ren absolutely does all his own compositions, lyrics and beats (he did purchase a few and remixed them). Hence the Kujo issue.🙄. The concept is all his.

    IMHO I get the feeling you don't really understand how art works. Like many in this world you seem to think that always being a push over is going to make the world peaceful. Art that is 'nice' is for chocolate boxes and MOR radio. I'd be interested to know whether you think this has ever worked since Gandhi. Art in the modern day is often the safest way to difuse tension, protest and challenge authority. I get it; that America is full of madmen with guns that want to shoot whenever people are rude to them, but fortunately this isn't how the rest of the world works!
