Renda listened to his inner voice. It told him to be a poet. His inspiration for writing comes from everywhere. He hones his craft daily and truly understands the power of the written word. His charisma when on stages is unparalleled. Whether reciting one of his own pieces, hosting an event, or speaking to a group of people, Renda's wit, showmanship, and charisma always light up the stage. He's doing this for all the right reasons, and that's why he'll go far with it.

In the summer of 2003 Renda's face and poetry were seen and heard by 8 million people during his 11-week appearance as a finalist on the CBS reality dating show, Cupid, produced by Simon Cowell from American Idol.

Renda has four projects in the works, including.

"Eclectic Poetic" (CD)
- This full-length album will showcase Renda's poetry several forms. Each track on the album has his poems backed up in a different way, with production styles ranging everywhere within a broad spectrum that includes hip-hop beats, live instrumentation, sound effects, ambient sounds, and creative new styles of production.

"Poems & Ideas" (Book)
- A book of half poems & half ideas. The poems are poems of all sorts...short, long, funny, rhymed verse, serious, intense, light hearted, structured, unstructured, vague, introspective, etc. The ideas are ideas of all sorts...ideas for businesses to start, ideas for short films, ideas for documentaries, journal entries, ideas for books, etc.

"The Book With No Focus" (Book)
- As the title implies, this book has no central focus... no plot, no chapter divisions, no footnotes, no story, no linear progression. And that is what makes this book beatiful. It is merely a long collection of completely random thoughts from off the top Renda's head, an unedited and unseparated flow of words and ideas that takes you right inside of Renda's head

"Show & Tell" (DVD)
- This DVD includes some of Renda's live performances, along with footage of him performing his poems in various outdoor and indoor settings.
