Letting his passion, sensitivity and vulnerability set him apart, Randy began honing his signature sound with the support of his family and inspiration from his mother, who is also a singer.

One day a friend passed him a tape with music and that 'changed everything.' He began writing his own lyrics about experiences with family, friends and the daily challenges of his life.

'Love is such a powerful emotion and life is a gift from God. Music drives me,' says Randy. His 1987 CD project created a buzz with local promoters and radio so he began shopping for a record deal. Every major record label that Randy hit, the feedback was 'Wow you sound just like Luther.' While Randy loved that people said he sounded like Luther Vandross, his goal was for listeners to recognize and appreciate his own style of vocals.
