Renes BBWI is a Haitian-born French musician-songwriter. As a child, he moved to Paris, where he grew up and studied. He started writing songs when he was in secondary school, although he could not play any instrument yet. In fact, the way he taught himself to play music is very unusual.

Working as a full time teacher of modern foreign languages, Renes BBWI has been developing his music skills by playing with various bands and artists across Europe. Variety is for him the key to have an open mind to music, hence the fact that many genres are covered in his albums.

In April 2005, Renes BBWI released his first 10-track EP  What are you Gonna Do, in the U.K. It was a very limited edition to survey the market as the album did not cover only one genre and therefore could not be labelled in the traditional way that albums are labelled. Following the success of the launch, Renes BBWI decided to embrace this nonconforming pathway. Some of his songs, namely What are you Gonna Do and Beat it like Bobby (which features only vocal and beatboxing, as a tribute to the genius Bobby Mc Ferrin) have been aired in the UK on Smooth FM, BBC Radio, Choice FM of London. The track Fontamara has been featured in a TV program called Las Casas del Cielo, in the USA.

In 2006, The Garden of Secret  was released as Renes BBWI first fully marketable album. The 10 tracks of the album was likely to cover one genre that you will like, from urban soul to Jazzy ballad, not to mention the Afrobeat of "Pa Mete m Nan Zen".

Having become one of CDbaby’s favourite artists,  the following year Renes BBWI launched his second solo album,  I am Gonna showing a sense of maturity in his writing and compositions, whilst keeping the humoristic flavour in songs like My Definition, Je suis francophile and The Party.

<strong>Né Ici Vivre Ailleurs</strong>&nbsp;came out in 2008 in the UK and was commercialised worldwide in 2010 with L'amour et la misère, which is a tribute to people who are living in misery, namely those in Haiti after the devastating earthquake that has caused an unprecedented increase in poverty in January 2010.

The years passed and new albums are released: Infinite Horizon,

Bad News,( This album has a lot of songs with "melodic rap" in it. :-). Oh, if you don't know what I mean by "melodic rap", go and have a listen.)  What is Kompa. 

Bring Back the Sun is the album that features the most guests and I am very grateful to those skilful friends who have given up their time to help me make this album. Thanks to Robert Johnston (guitar on Night Life and Sweet Lover Bird  ); Laurence Henderson (guitar on Dive with Me, Where's the Love and a stormy solo in the middle of Irma); Isaac Harrison (tenor sax on Tease Me).

Lockdown Insanity, Dark Ninja and Solar System are 3 albums that sum up Renes BBWI's broad creativity for the year of 2020. Written, recorded and produced within 2 months. these 3 albums make a total of 40 tracks. As you would expect, each of these albums will take to a different world and within each world, your mind will travel through various places.

Lastly Renes BBWI is also an inspirational solo performer and session player who has performed, and continues to perform, with some of England’s best musicians and bands. Some of the international artists he has performed with are Lonnie Liston Smith, Ti Corn, Beethova Obas, supported Osaka Monaurail, Blues singer Eric Bibb, Blues Rock artist Popa Chubby, the Brand New Heavies, James Taylor Quartet, and Maceo Parker, at the Parc Floral Festival in Paris, to mention just a few.
