The birth of Hi Ren. 

The community in Patreon came together and voted to start sharing some of the older patreon posts. So thanks go to them for this video, it's been amazing to watch such a special group of people come together over the last year! Big up & big love to u all This video was originally posted on 17/12/23. if u wanna see what it's all about click the link below

Patreon members did NOT just vote to start sharing these videos, they practically DEMANDED it! 97% of the votes were for sharing these beautiful exclusive nuggets. That is a HUGE testament to the person you are and the community you cultivated. ❤

Someone had no clue that he was going to make history on that very day.

"Turned out ok" translates to one of the most meaningful, impressive, immersive, emotional song performances i've ever seen in my life. Love the story Ren -- thanks for sharing it

I can’t help giggle at the thought of the landlord sitting upstairs and hearing muffled yodling and heated arguments coming from the basement, thinking “WTF is going on down there?!” 😂 🤔 I wonder if he’s seen Hi Ren and thinks about how he almost deprived the world. Isn’t it funny how small decisions like that can change lives, even millions of lives! 😮

So odd seeing Hi Ren without flashing lights! "It turned out ok" Understatement.

Credit to the team for helping to frame this masterpiece!

For me, support is the reason I'm on Patreon. I'm glad everyone can see these videos❤

Thank you Ren and patreon gang for allowing us to enjoy these ❤

Ren I'm so glad to be part of patreon! These are great! Thank you !

It's official, Ren is my favourite musician. Hope I get to meet him one day. Love from Slovakia.

This masterpiece changed the entire course of my life m8. It's nice to have all the BTS and bits on Patreon/YT for the world to see. A fly on the wall of Ren 🪰👀🖤

I think the stress didn't harm the song, because the subject is also quite stressful. Thank you so much for making this video public domain. Musicians can also learn a lot from you. Among other things, that masterpieces don't need a big budget.❤

The birth, evolution and soon - world dominance of Ren. Excited to be a member of the tribe and loving every moment of this wild ride! Let's go! ❤

Thank you members in Patreon for voting to share these. Greatly appreciated. ❤❤❤❤❤

Really cool to hear even your friend had the mandatory moment of silence after "Hi Ren", just to let it sink in that it's probably the best thing they've seen :D

Well here we are and Hi Ren STILL blows me away and is still bringing more audience members to your door. It's honestly so impressive just the work ethic and the amount of effort you put into your craft, let alone the finished products. Phenomenal. You're a true artist for our generation and I'm happy to be following your journey and supporting your music. We're still only at the beginning 🌅

I love being one of ur Patreon members!!!!! It really is a special community. 🥰

The birth of Hi Ren?? It's all about the delivery, really.

I absolutely cherish HI REN. It will go down as my all time favorite. These tidbits are fascinating. I would've never imagined all of that went on just as you were making this gem. I think it makes it even more special and miraculous!😍 (Thanks again Patreon fam from a YT fam🤗)

Legendary! A perfect example of preparation paying off ... massively! It is not often seen so clearly how much time and effort in prep impact on the outcome of a performance. Under pressure and when things don't go as planned, when the plan hits reality, it is the solid foundation that makes it possible to perform on point. That's where art comes from... it is the struggle...

I’m excited about seeing this. I’ve often wondered. My son knows every word, it crazy. Thank you and your team for all the hard work you do.

Amazing how well the Hi Ren video turned out, under those conditions, and happy 1 year aneversery for Hi Ren, a song that gave our fantastic artist, a better platform.

Hi Ren was the first time I ever even heard of Ren. It came up on my RU-vid feed and I said sure why not. I didn't realize how amazing this simple looking video was going to be. The music and vocals were astounding. The visuals were subtle but deep. And it was this song that made me want to know more about Ren. I could see the pain he had gone through but I wanted to know more. I played another song, Su!cide, I think, and started looking into Ren and what he has lived through. It made me want to know the details. And as I learned them I grew to respect Ren even more. Though he has suffered like few of us may ever know, he has never given up. Even when he was tempted he kept going, kept giving his heart and soul to the music and us. Hi Ren touches so many people, especially those of us who have suffered through mental illness. And it draws people into learning more and listening to more and finding out as much as we can. Hi Ren is open arms, drawing people close. Showing us we are not alone. Ren has lived through a hell most of us will never know. And whether you believe in God, or karma, or whatever, Ren has paid his due. His music and story are the gifts he has been given. And I am thankful that he stairs them with all of us. Happy birthday Hi Ren

Hi Ren! Birthed due to a deep understanding and delivered from a place of truth. It’s a masterpiece!! When I first saw the video, I thought it was amazing, but when I saw the video of you singing live at KoKo I was absolutely blown away. 💛

Phenom! Happy Anniversary Hi Ren ❤

You deserve every second of praise for that song. My partner showed me the song, knowing my own struggles with chronic pain and depression. It touched me so deeply. I felt seen. Thank you, So much love! ❤

Love seeing all the Patreon stuff again, knowing so many more people are getting to see it too. ❤

Best Patreon from other experiences where u only get posts once in a while. Thanks Ren, Kai n Josh (all involved) for keeping us posted. ❤❤❤

Love ren so much. Music is so well written, bloody brilliant

What? A year? What a year! Thank you Ren. Stay safe bro and be well.

Thanks again to all the Patreon peeps… you truly rock! Thank you Ren for what amounts to the rebirth of many here… you and the team are truly a sight to behold… ♥️x

🫡👌👌👌👍 THE MUSICAL GENIUS HAS FINALLY LANDED 🫡👌👌👌👌

Absolutely brilliant and a brilliant team behind you...Irish hugs

Ren, I am spreading the word as far as I can about your talent. Love your work 🔥

I believe it turned out better than “okay” Ren! lol It’s an actual masterpiece! You’re absolutely brilliant, man! I’m SO happy for you that you’re starting to really blow up here in the states. Especially after everything you’ve went through.. You deserve it! 😉

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Thank you patreon for thinking of us and wanting Ren to share it with us. It's amazing to see how far Ren has come when doing his live chats. He seemed so nervous here and so unconfident but now he just sits back and chills and jokes and has a good time. It's like we are all there with him and he's telling us a story. The growth has been so great to watch.

Amazing Ren you really are the artist of a generation very special ❤

Thank you for sharing this Ren ❤

These are just insane to see! Even when not watching the final take you are so incredibly talented at live performance. I hadn't been sure of it for a while but I think you are officially my favorite music artist! Thank you for all the great gifts you have given us

Awesome!!! Thank you for this, Ren!!!

Blew me away it did. Not had that feeling in music since 1978, when as a 15 year old, Punk knocked me off my feet. Saw you a couple of times before on Music Man links, thinking this guy has talent, but the message in Hi Ren was outstanding. The great thing was, there was a huge back catalogue to catch up on and like many, down the rabbit hole I fell, Keep up the great work.

Wow! Thank you for sharing Ren 🫶

I love being part of your Patreon; all of your BTS videos are great! I'm so glad you are now sharing them with everyone!! 🤍
