Rence goes all in on his pop music career Now it may the Seattle pop star's turn to ride his Tik Tok popularity to the top of the charts. Author: Saint Bryan, KING 5 Evening (KING 5) Published: 5:28 PM PST February 1, 2021 Updated: 3:11 PM PST February 2, 2021 LOS ANGELES — Just a year ago Rence was strapped to a cinder block at the bottom of a swimming pool, all for the sake of a music video. “That was crazy,” he says, remembering the shoot for “Sometimes Things Just Fall Apart”, “It was so incredibly cold. I was freezing, kind of crying.” That’s just one indication of his dedication. Born Jackson Hirsh, Rence spent his formative years at The Bush School in Seattle. He graduated from NYU a year early, where he became the subject of a student film called Blaring Through The Night.
