Ren Harvieu at Ruby Lounge

Ren Harvieu (born 3 September 1990) is an English singer/songwriter from Salford, Greater Manchester.

Ren was introduced to music by her mother. While in sixth form college, she performed in Musical Theatre and entered several talent competitions before uploading some of her own recordings to MySpace.

Ren was discovered on MySpace by a local music manager. After being introduced to Music Producer Jimmy Hogarth she began working on demo's and was signed to Universal music when she was 18. 

Ren started recording an album but in May 2011, but before it could be released, she broke her back in what she describes as a 'freak accident’ After a 14-hour operation, Harvieu spent months recovering at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.

On December 5, 2011, the BBC announced that she had been nominated for their BBC Sounds of 2012 poll. After releasing the singles "Through the Night" and "Open Up Your Arms" her first album ''Through the Night'' was released on Island Records on 14 May 2012, entering the UK album chart at No 5.
