Ren was heavily influenced by the singers her parents and older brother and sister exposed her to as a child. Her father is a fan of Big Band music like Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller and all the incredible standards of the 1940's. Her mother's favorite is the 70's pop music by Barbra Streisand. Her older brother played mostly Rolling Stones all day long among other rock favorites by The Byrds, Beatles, Surfaris and Joe Jackson. Her sister listened to Linda Ronstadt, Earth, Wind and Fire, Malo, La Tiejera, The Eagles, WAR, The Guess Who, The Who, The Ohio Players...
All that mixed in with sweet vocals by David Gates and Bread, Olivia Newton-John, George Benson, Bill Withers, and Al Jareau combined with lots of good old fashioned musical comedy has really influenced Ren to be flexible and versatile as a singer. Her favorite lady singer/performers are Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald.
