“I barely took any notes because he was so incredibly engaging .. to transmute his journey into art so beautifully!  Rene’s voice is needed on this topic to inspire more compassionate communication.  He took the noise others asked him to “stop & turn off” and turned it into a beautiful offering for the world.  Keep rocking it!”

“Watching Rene isn’t an experience, it’s a journey. With lyrics and melodies that intertwine into vivid imagery for your mind, he tells stories of past failures and future hopes, lessons learned and wisdom through experience. Keeping it real is his MO which lends to his high energy approach.”

“Physically and emotionally moving. He turns his own voice into his instrument, beyond just the singing. Rene doesn’t need a backtrack – he IS the back track! Great laughter and crowd interaction.  His slides were part of the performance and made us laugh … that’s not easy to do with slides!”

“Rene Rafael is brilliant and in his element on stage. He has so much fun reliving and bringing everyone through his experience with such range and engaging emotion.  The creative visuals add an element unlike any other and his message is critical for our youth and young adults trying to find themselves in this confusing era. Rene, you had me from the very beginning until the very end! Extremely Powerful!”

“Rene has a fantastic stage presence and phenomenal energy!  During his speech Rene was able to hold eye contact with me and his audience for a long time which is so important for a speaker.  I am convinced that his story will empower many.”

“You don’t (can’t?) know this guy until you see him explode in multimedia!

He’s a techie, poet, musician, thespian, thinker, voice-over guy using these skills to inspire positive life change”
