ReN

Ren, whose full name is Ren Erin Gill, is a Welsh singer-songwriter, rapper, and producer known for his candid and soulful music that often explores mental health and personal struggles. Born on March 29, 1990, in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, he grew up in the small town of Dwyran on the island of Anglesey. Ren's musical journey began early, fueled by his self-taught guitar skills and diverse influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Eminem. He initially gained attention as a busking musician and with his indie hip-hop band Trick the Fox. Despite signing with Sony Records in 2010, his promising career was derailed by severe chronic illness that left him bedridden for years.

After a long health battle, Ren made a remarkable comeback as an independent artist, releasing albums like *Freckled Angels* (2016) and *Sick Boi* (2023)—the latter reaching number one on the UK album charts. His music blends rap, folk, and indie elements, and his honest, raw storytelling has resonated widely, earning viral success on platforms like YouTube. Ren is also known for using his platform to raise awareness about chronic illness and mental health, turning his personal adversities into powerful art that connects deeply with listeners.
