From a tender age, Ren's affinity for music was evident. She sang before she could talk and embraced acting from the age of six, participating in local plays. Fond memories of singing along to Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys tunes and dozing off to her parents' musical selection, including Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne, shaped her musical palette and ignited her artistic spark. She graduated from the Popular Music Performance program at the University of Southern California where she honed her songwriting and vocal skills. During her college years, Ren discovered contemporary artists spanning pop, hip hop, rock, and country genres. This unique blend of classic influences and contemporary training has given her a sound that effortless bridges the gap between introspective storytelling and infection melodies. She has since released albums like "Good Girl" and "Where I am Wild," with hit singles including "Uncool," "Lose the Night," "See Me Through," and "Crier." Her music is currently available on Spotify, Soundcloud, and iTunes.
