Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Dwyran on Anglesey, Ren began making music in a small village where he says there was little else to do. He later played in Trick the Fox and Brighton busking band The Big Push.
Learning by doing.
His dad gave him an acoustic guitar at ten. Ren taught himself by copying records, then began producing after discovering jungle as a teenager. Busking helped him learn how to hold a crowd.
Finding his audience.
Ren released Freckled Angels in 2016 to help fund medical treatment. “Hi Ren” brought wider attention in December 2022, combining song, spoken word and theatre around inner conflict and illness.
A shared milestone.
In October 2023, Sick Boi entered the UK Albums Chart at number one after a close race with Rick Astley. Ren’s friends and fans rallied around the independent release while his health limited live promotion.
Still experimenting.
His 2026 releases include Vincent’s Tale, the collaborative Asylum with Inpatient and Chris Webby, and the solo single “The Music Business”.
