Before appearing on The X Factor, Rene was part of the rock band Diversion before entering rehab for alcohol and drug abuse. He first performed "Young Homie" on the X Factor on September 21, 2011 and informed the judges that he'd been sober for several years. The singer ultimately finished in third place behind competitors Josh Kracjik and Melanie Amaro. Amaro went on to win the $5 million recording contract.
