Ren is completely self taught in singing, rapping, guitar, piano, drums etc etc through tutorials on youtube and maticulous, repetition and it just runs through his veins. The fact he wasnt actually classically trained in anything means he has non of the rules that get taught so he just plays and sings what he feels and what he thinks sounds good and the man is never wrong. Pure genius!
I've never seen an artist like Ren. Rap, singing, musical, production and ACTING; then the human connection. He's an actual genius and doesn't even realize it .
@AdamBazille - There's a big difference between saying the words and actually believing them. Anyone with any integrity and self-awareness doubts themselves. It's pretty much the central theme of HI REN. :)
So true. He’s managed to make his two best childhood friends immortalized forever. I don’t think a higher compliment can be paid to them. They now have so many adoring eyes and hearts keeping their spirits alive.
I’m very rarely into purely instrumental music, but this somehow felt like Ren was playing words. A stunning and perfect tribute to his friend 🖤🐰🕳️ Ren’s musical background? Self taught and ADHD AF 😅 This is the result of hyper focus and a passion for music. At 10 his dad gave him an old guitar and Ren took it with him everywhere (he learned to play by slowing down TH-cam videos). He started producing beats at 12 years old. I’m not sure about when he started playing piano, drums, cello, and any other instruments he can make noises on, but I believe he basically just gets obsessive about anything he’s interested in. Whether instruments, singing, or improving his rap speed by practicing for hours. All the hyper focus in the world doesn’t account for the artistry and emotion in his music though. It isn’t the impressive technique but the way he pours his soul into it that makes Ren’s music so special ❤
Ren learned to play by watching TH-cam videos. Mackay went fishing with some friends by the sea. He decided to go swimming despite his friends telling him not to. The sea was rough and Macky was having trouble getting out of the water. Another friend Lewis jumped in to save him. Both of them drowned. It was 2011 and a rescue helicopter was sent to help. Prince William was one of the men who tried to save Lewis from the sea. This all happened 6 months after Joe's death. It was also the last time Ren saw Mackay at the funeral.
I play this over and over. I tear up but there is celebration here too. Ren brings the emotion every time and we only want more. Thanks for this reaction.
Beautiful isn't it? The last 4 releases have been acoustic EDM, motown ish, rap rap, and instrumental. And all of them were just things he wanted to make while he is preparing the next album. ❤
Wow, what a beautiful piano solo! As usual Ren surprises us, no lyrics, no words, just a rollercoaster of emotions played out on the keys of the piano...Sometimes there are no words and it's through music one can still communicate and express their thoughts and emotion...No Words Needed. Ren started writing and performing music when he was around 13 years old, later he did move to Bath Spa University to study music. Aside from his education at Bath Uni, Ren is a self taught musician, crediting TH-cam videos as a source for teaching himself to play the guitar and piano amongst other instruments. But it's obvious from his earliest works, he displayed an adeptness for creating his own tracks, writing his own lyrics and performing, it could be argued Ren is a literal Prodigy. His struggles and hurdles in which he still contends with to this very day, have only served add depth and breadth to his music.
Thank you for checking this one out❤ He needed no words… the music speaks volumes if you really listen. I am so thankful I studied classical violin and learned to fully appreciate classical music. This piece is really beautiful . Ren is so special!❤Callum rest in peace ❤
Listening to this beautiful piece will never get old…….so wonderful hearing what journey this takes people on….all different …..unique to that person. That’s what art does…..it doesn’t need words 💜🔥
What I like... you never know what he's going to do. Ren's parents were musical, he went to university for a musical performance but the rest is just him. Ren is what happens when someone with a natural gift is combined with practice and dedication..
@helenjarvis7755 Makes a very important point. Ren was only at the Music School in Bath for the 1st term, before becoming ill and returning to Wales. I have no idea of the curriculum, but doubt there was time for much influence or standardised learning.
It was also Musical Performance... that's about how to work in an orchestra, how to conduct, studying movie soundtracks, music computer programs. It wasn't teaching how to sing, how to play, how to read music or musical theory. That's an entirely different class.

Ren is Music - embodied! A true rare talent and someone who all of us never knew we always needed ❤
thank you for a wonderful reaction to an instrumental performance that still speaks. I know he went to Bath uni possibly Bath Spa uni to study performing arts its not where rich kids go its for all 17/18 year olds to chose to go to if they are good enough in their chosen subjects. I understand that he is a self taught multi Instrumentalist. Guitar by watching you tube videos slowed down of Jimi Hendrix, John Frusciante amongst others. I believe his mother was a vocal coach. I just get a feeling all the years ill being stuck he probably still listened to and absorbed music and formulated ideas its in his soul and he has released it on us to relish the outcomes of his amazing talents and hard work 🎶🧡🔥👩🦰
He didn't spend much time at Uni, due to his illnesses. He was already missing classes in his first year, missed most of his second year and almost all of his 3rd year. Unsurprising as he was pretty much bedridden all the time by that point.
So what most people consider “classical music” - it too is split into eras, periods, or genres. The genres Ren displayed here are the following in the order they appear in Ren’s song: Impressionist era (Debussy), Romance era, Classical era (Mozart), Early Romantic (Beethoven & Schubert), Baroque Period (Bach). Ren is more of a genre bender than most people might expect, even in this one song.
I see Ren as a modern day Bowie and Bowie's been my number 1 since my teens! Ren's an incredible artist! I feel that he's beginning to believe that he's more talented than he thought he was. He must have known he was talented. He's too intelligent and self-aware not to have known but he's growing in confidence before our eyes. It's like he's slowly beginning to accept that he might be more than just 'good'. We all know he's a musical genius but, as any artist with integrity does, he doubted himself. I think the feedback from people like you and from his legion of ultra loyal fans, is making his confidence grow and it's wonderful to witness! Ren deserves all the success in the World! He should be a global megastar but receives no industry recognition and no airplay. He wasn't even nominated for a single Brit award. The music awards of his home country and receives no airplay here either! It annoys me so 'effing' much! lol. :)
I think as a youngster, Ren's parents took him to lots of Music festivals. The wide influence he would have had from these experiences, added to listening to a variety of music, studying the greats on you tube, watching movies (music scores) and spending hours experimenting will have all played a part in shaping his musical abilities.
This is endemic with reactors, especially with male reactors and I hate it. A reactor should give a the audience a couple of seconds to readjust back out from the song, especially those of intense impact. 🤬
From what Ren has said in interviews he is self-taught, and used to learn songs by slowing down TH-cam videos. I think he started playing guitar about 12 years old, and because he wanted to record songs, but because lived in a remote rural area in North Wales he had no other musicians to play with, so he needed to learn other instruments and learnt to sing himself. Apparently he hasn't had any acting experience either apart from in his videos...
Is there anything Ren cant do?! I cannot say enough good things about the guy. What a stunning ability he has, story telling throughout a beautiful tribute. He deserves the world. Callum and Joe are looking down and smiling on Ren. We must protect Ren at all costs. Love your reaction as always, keep doing you. ❤
I think he realizes it. “I’m fine by myself. I’m a genius. And I will make waves and I’ll shake up the whole world beneath us.” What really makes Ren so special on this level is that he is so level-headed about it.
Just beautiful ❤And I found out today that another lad lost his life trying to save Callam. There are no words. Prince William was one of the rescue pilots. I'm with you all the way about Ren. I'm here for it all. Love and from London, UK.
So he said he taught himself piano from TH-cam videos that’s also how he improved his singing I don’t know about guitar I feel like he was born with the guitars his hand, but his friend died at the same age that my best friend died 21 1/210 years later 30 seconds into this piece I was crying it’s been 12 years he’s been carrying this with him and then he just sat down at the piano and this is what came out you’re right human Beethoven that can sing and rap that’s all i’ve even said your comments that the only artist I can think of that is like him is prince I was fortunate that I was bartending, and had a regular customer that got blown off by a date, and had an extra ticket to see Prince at Madison Square Garden, and it was Saturday night, and he asked me if I wanted to go to her place and I said I wish but I can’t get off work. He spent a lot of money there and told my boss if he didn’t let me off he wasn’t gonna be a customer anymore. So my boss before being the owner used to be a bartender for many years, so he actually did it for me so I could go, it was one of the most amazing things that I’ve seen until now
I think Ren was a born genius !! he is magnificent!! I hope he sings I Put A Spell On You with the piano and guitar and he plays as good as Romain which i knew he could. I hope he makes a video of both. Everything you are saying about him is so true. And how beauitful with no words he made this song to his friend who heard it in heaven.lol
REN!.. Is not from earth cause he is multitalented 😊...I just looove him cause he is so special 👊👊🤗...great reaction too and I hope your channel will grow to a million subscribers in one year!!🙏🤞
mozart wouldn’t got a damn on him. mozart only famous cause he was early. ren is mozart, beethoven, nas, eminem, fred again, and everyone of your favorite musicians combined

"I'm a genius" - HI REN 😊

Ren is a magician, who just made Callum Mackay immortal...
So true. He’s managed to make his two best childhood friends immortalized forever. I don’t think a higher compliment can be paid to them. They now have so many adoring eyes and hearts keeping their spirits alive.
100% TRUE!
Beautiful comment! :)
'Ren what's your musical background?'
Ren: Yes!
I’m very rarely into purely instrumental music, but this somehow felt like Ren was playing words. A stunning and perfect tribute to his friend 🖤🐰🕳️

Ren allowing us all to take a moment to reflect and remember. Beautiful.
Ren learned to play by watching TH-cam videos. Mackay went fishing with some friends by the sea. He decided to go swimming despite his friends telling him not to.

My mom is a pianist and she loves Ren. I can't wait to show this to her.
And give us what he wants, not what we are specting.
Reverse industry does.
I play this over and over. I tear up but there is celebration here too. Ren brings the emotion every time and we only want more. Thanks for this reaction.
Beautiful isn't it? The last 4 releases have been acoustic EDM, motown ish, rap rap, and instrumental. And all of them were just things he wanted to make while he is preparing the next album. ❤
The ability to tell a story and express emotions, thru music, without a single word, is a rare gift! Ren is a true artist! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, what a beautiful piano solo!

Yep, he is REN ❤️
Listening to this beautiful piece will never get old…….so wonderful hearing what journey this takes people on….all different …..unique to that person.
That’s what art does…..it doesn’t need words 💜🔥
We are so lucky to have Ren. Thank you for playing his music.
Ren is a natural, self taught musician. But he works very hard at his craft, too. He is, in a word, amazing. You said it!
A stunning beautiful tribute for his friend Callum 💜
What I like... you never know what he's going to do. Ren's parents were musical, he went to university for a musical performance but the rest is just him. Ren is what happens when someone with a natural gift is combined with practice and dedication..
1 term like a few months at university due to the onset of illness

You have so much Hart ❤️. I thank you, much love mate. Absolutely love respect you. Thank you.
I think of Ren as a musical chameleon. A very gifted one at that. I agree that this was beautiful...
Ren levelled up with this one. I cannot wait to hear his new album. Awesome video as always!

Beaut reaction Nick xxx

The perfect artist ♥️. Love you feel it too, from your kind heart

Simply beautiful
Great reaction, thank you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how respectful you are towards the artists and your knowledge about music really shows. Great reaction!
Goat status achieved

Beautiful instrumental piece to his friend that past away. It was beautiful ❤️
❤ #ren 🖤🎶❤
Ren can play the cello too
I love that you have so much respect for Ren ❤
❤
He also plays the melodica and the cello a bit, i believe. Awesome reaction! Amazing song
I think as a youngster, Ren's parents took him to lots of Music festivals. The wide influence he would have had from these experiences, added to listening to a variety of music, studying the greats on you tube, watching movies (music scores) and spending hours experimenting will have all played a part in shaping his musical abilities.
Thank you for letting it play to the end of the video, many reactors stop before the dedication.
This is endemic with reactors, especially with male reactors and I hate it. A reactor should give a the audience a couple of seconds to readjust back out from the song, especially those of intense impact. 🤬
Some kind of divine light shines through Ren.
From what Ren has said in interviews he is self-taught, and used to learn songs by slowing down TH-cam videos.

Very nice reaction Nick to this sublime tribute from Ren to Callum💞

I think he realizes it. “I’m fine by myself. I’m a genius. And I will make waves and I’ll shake up the whole world beneath us.” What really makes Ren so special on this level is that he is so level-headed about it.
He literally is a vessel channeling the Universe….🫧🪽💫✨🤍🏴
