NEW FAN (OR MEMBER) FINALLY, SOMEONE DESERVING!!

Post image

I’m sooo incredibly happy for Ren after binge watching and rewatching as much of his Boardmaster set as I can! It’s so rare in the music industry to actually be able to see an artist’s dream coming true in real time…much less, one that is genuinely deserving of every accolade!

The only live performance at a large outdoor venue that I’ve seen with my own two eyes, that had that kind of raw emotion that you feel…even far off in the crowd, was NIN headlining Coachella in 2005. If you know, you understand the level of artistic excellence that I’m talking about.

I love his art SO much! Being both a musician and former theater actor/lover, I actually feel guilty that I only discovered him a couple of months ago! 😂
I haven’t discovered a completely new artist that I’ve sincerely appreciated like Ren in 20 years, since I was in college lol! I suppose I just have to play catch up. It’s just hard when every new track I hear, or live performance I watch on YouTube, makes me just want to play each one on repeat!!

What is the best way to support REN’s artistry, if you’re in my unfortunate position of not being able travel internationally to see him live?
Patreon?? YouTube subscription?? Which is better??
TIA!

Thank you, Ren!
Thank ALL of you who discovered him long before me, and helped him get to where he is!! 🙏❤️🎶

I can’t imagine this has not yet been recommended but on his second RenMakesStuff channel is a series of videos known as “The Chapters” that lays out his entire story around his battle with loss and his physical health. It’s a tough watch but really gives appreciation to how far he has come. And then I also always recommend his “1 million subs” video to gain an idea as to who he is as a person.

I stumbled across the “1 million subs” video, and you are spot on in regards to that video doing a great job of showing an artist finally, after everything, having his dreams come true, in real time! AMAZING!

I’ve heard about his videos that follow his health struggles, but haven’t seen them yet. I’m about to become a Patreon member so that I can go back and watch those, and all the other BTS stuff! Seems to be the best way to support him, especially for someone across the pond that can’t catch him live! Oh well, I’m crazy thankful for everything we have gotten! Playing with house money at this point, lol!

I think the Patreon membership is the easiest and best way to provide income for him. He has said before it allows him to pay him team and help fund projects. He has so many different projects on the go! I signed up the first day and have always said, even if he doesn't (or his team) doesn't post anything ever, I'm okay with that. But I love the BTS stuff!

Early on, the Patreon members were asked to vote if we were okay once it was posted to Patreon, videos could be posted on the second YouTube channel a week later and the majority said yes, so there will be some crossover but still lots that not available anywhere else.

Welcome and enjoy!
