Description
The Santa Cruz rapper and songwriter comes back to the Bay while on an international tour. Chris Rene pulled his influences from a huge variety of sources-"I've been influenced by every kind of music you can think of, from Mozart to Led Zeppelin to Outkast," he says. "I love Al Green, I love punk rock-just anything that's got that crazy passion." His climb to success started with his X-Factor audition of his fusion pop/hip-hop song "Young Homie," reflecting his struggles with addiction and slowly becoming clean. Rene strives to spread his newfound enthusiasm for life with his songs. He beams with pride as he sings onstage, infusing the crowd with his passion. If Rene can pull out both an approving smirk and a "Yes" from Simon Cowell, he will go far.
