Man my brother Ren has had that talent for a long time. Its really cool seeing these older videos after watching so many of his newer songs. From this time to now Ren went thru so much. Its really nice to see this but it breaks my heart to know what is coming for him. Keep fighting that fight Ren. You mean so much to so many people
It was probably around this time that the agent from Sony saw Ren busking and signed him up to Sony . I wish I could have whispered in young REN’s ear - that every thing will be alright just like Marley’s song . But it would take a while and he would have to go to hell and back but in the end he would be alright .
So much talent/confidence. Maybe not brilliantly prepared in terms of what material he was going to play. Even then I would have stopped my day to listen to him.
Wow this is amazing - thanks for posting this. Guess Ren was about 21 here - to have that much confidence at such a tender age and the talent already blossoming, it's really no wonder he is turning heads around the world now. Gobsmacking even back then.
Congratulations on REN’s NUMBER ONE album, SICK BOI!!! This footage is so sweeeeet! especially when he starts free-styling, 🎶I’m just gonna stand here and watch people because I like the way you look…” 🎶😁 Wish I could be there to watch him; maybe one day soon. 💔❤️🩹♥️
Ren is such a blessing and a breath of fresh air. His music has inspired so many people! It breaks my heart knowing soon after this he went through so much, thankfully he finally found the help he so desperately needed to get better. His music has touched so many lives, he has always had such talent and definitely a legend. Ren deserves nothing but the best❤!
you picked up on that, too, huh? I thought it was just me and didn't mention it as he spells it "sick boi", but I found it illuminatingly serendipitous.
He has such a beautiful soul you can see it plain and clear through his music. I can’t say anything about him that wouldn’t sound cliche, but he pours his heart out in his music and we all feel it
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I don't know how you kept pushing through but I salute you Brother, I'm dealing with similar issues and it's an everyday battle just to wanna wake up the next morning.
I've had many friends that got stuck making covers and getting similar to one artist. I started right away making songs with the 2 first chords Ive learned, then with 3, then bossa novas chords those with a 7th somewhere. I suck ass and quit. But all the time Ive experience the joy of creation. Why can someone private theirselfs of that gift? I super happy there all this records of Ren. He always was great
This amazing video is only gonna grow with time. Thank you so much for hanging on to this and sharing it - it is and will be a true treasure to watch from now until forever. Since I was so lucky to come upon Ren's music and videos like 3 months ago and continue to gradually discover more and more, I'm convinced he is a legend of our time blowing up right in front of us. No artist has moved me or captured me like this since Radiohead in 1997 - so the first and only time in 27 years? That is crazy and wonderful to me - a joyful surprise to say the least. I had no idea he had these skills back then but of course he did! To see him in this time is awesome and unexpected. Again, thanks! Peace and light/
Ren is around 20 here. It depends on how long after the performance the video was uploaded and if it was just before or after his birthday , (29th March).
Seeing Baby Ren perform is seriously fun

I also keep my fingers crossed every day that everything turns out well for Ren. Let's all believe in it together!
🙏
Talent is something you are born with , it doesn't grow. 🙃
This amazing musician and everyone doesn’t seem to notice.
Doesn’t really look like his market.
I know and all those people not notice are silly sausages...❤

Ren , you are absolutely awesome my friend!!!
Hugs to baby Ren. 🥺
So much talent/confidence. Maybe not brilliantly prepared in terms of what material he was going to play. Even then I would have stopped my day to listen to him.
I believe he was actually using a technique for audience engagement. Singer/guitarists and buskers especially, rarely struggle with song selection.
[that] charisma at such a young age…. It the best skill
Thanks so much Pete. Such amazing footage.
You're welcome
What a gift to see young Ren. This is gold!
This is just beautiful, how many no 1 UK album artists have a rabbit hole like Ren ? ❤
Aaarhw what a cutie-pie. Can't understand all the people just passing him. Like. SIT THE FUCK DOWN! xD
Wow this is amazing - thanks for posting this. Guess Ren was about 21 here - to have that much confidence at such a tender age and the talent already blossoming, it's really no wonder he is turning heads around the world now.
Gobsmacking even back then.
Probably even younger. He was incredibly ill by the time he was 21.
thx for this part of Ren-History 🥰

SKY in the background S__K __Y ........SICK BOY!
you picked up on that, too, huh? I thought it was just me and didn't mention it as he spells it "sick boi", but I found it illuminatingly serendipitous.
Also the banner immediately behind him - Skin Box... Sick Boi... so close it's spooky!
He has such a beautiful soul you can see it plain and clear through his music. I can’t say anything about him that wouldn’t sound cliche, but he pours his heart out in his music and we all feel it
Talk about when you find out what you’re meant to be on this planet!!!
Young Ren is a pleasure to watch and listen to ❤❤
I love this!!!! REN has always been meant to share his incredible voice and talent❤❤❤
Awwwwww sweet young ren - Love this young man - love from Lisa a lyme and autoimmunity warrior 🦠💚🦠💚
Look where he is now ❤❤❤
This shows you how connected Ren is. A massive talent of our time. Loving these busking videos. O Hollywood interference just pure talent shining thru
Amazing footage! Love baby REN ❤❤❤
Baby Ren, so gorgeous ❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I don't know how you kept pushing through but I salute you Brother, I'm dealing with similar issues and it's an everyday battle just to wanna wake up the next morning.
Watching young Ren honing his craft fills me with joy.
Yes, joy! I play this all the time... fills me w/joy :):)
Go Ren Go!!!!
Re-writes EVERY song! ❤
I Want to see this man love, live, sing and give for a long time.
There's much more for him to say and I want to hear it.

Lovely. I would have grabbed a drink and parked myself there until he was done.
No doubt! Nothing would tear me away...
I’m so glad I found this.. force feeding to my kids.. Uk 🇬🇧
Deep cut❤
Thank you for this 🥹 I'm chokin' up over here, lol. For nostalgia, for admiration, for joy. Mad 💚
Wow. Just Wow.

This a great! Thank you for sharing. I love these old videos. Even back then he was seriously talented 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Northern Maine USA 🇺🇸 ❤🙏🏼😇🎸🎙🤟🏼🙏🏼✌🏼
You didn’t give up. 💚💖💚💖
2011, so that was in Bath, right? (In case we can time travel at any point XD)
More wow!
Love this, cheers
💎
Just added like #120
I'll wait... 🥰
😁👏👏👏👏
So young!! Would this be in Bath? Doesn't look like Brighton
@@Heyboo66 yes it's in Bath when he was at university
….. 2024 performing on sky arts awards 🫶
Wonder if anybody realised the star they were fortunate enough to idle past that day
Me too!! Streets of Bath to #1 album!!
@@PeteFindsObscureStuff lads a genius never heard anyone who bend’s genres like him 👍
He was not making covers, he was making reversions of those songs, I bet many notice then he was an artist
Hey tent neighbor! I didn't realize you are you 🤣 subbed
You must be the Festival Party Animal I assume?!?! Thanks for the sub!
Party Animal 😂 I don''t know about that XD But yes, it's me :D
Anyone else hearing 》Troubles《 starting 8:40?
Especially 9:08
It's definitely We Cry by The Script but I can see what you mean with Ren's guitar on this. Sounds familiar!!
@PeteFindsObscureStuff yeah mean the guitar only. Troubles has to be inspired by that I feel.
@@katta6034 or maybe this guitar work was inspired by Troubles?
@@PeteFindsObscureStuffRens troubles was much later, just recently right
Better the na any other king of leon. Ren be kind with yourself
How old is he here, about?
Ren is around 20 here. It depends on how long after the performance the video was uploaded and if it was just before or after his birthday , (29th March).
@ - Thanks! He looks younger or older depending on the situation, adaptable just like his music!
He’s like Jeff!! Got his own version of shit…. And it’s better
