\"Randy<\/a><\/div>\n

How did you come by your stage name?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Randy is my legal name. MC is the initials Martono-Chai.<\/p>\n

When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I discovered I loved music when I first started out playing piano, imitating my mother, plunking out gibberish to some of her hymnal music even though I didn’t know how to read music. She let me take piano lessons and it stuck with me for life.<\/p>\n

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My musical role models include Oscar Peterson, Beyonce, Jacob Collier, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande, Sam Tsui, Andre Previn.<\/p>\n

On your current project, how did you come up with the concept?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted some organic and unique that would set me apart from all the fancy Beverly Hills studios. I wanted to dig deep into the rich heritage of Black and American music borne out of the South, particularly New Orleans; at least a third of my album and half my EP has NOLA vibes and music to some capacity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess it’s finding out what I need to do next to get along with sharing my music with the world. that’s where you come in!<\/p>\n

Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Pianist-singer, keytarist, accompanist to all’s styles and rep, and phenomenal sightreading skills. Versatile singer and conservatory-trained, I’ve made it my mission to put a smile on people’s faces through art.<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the near future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Release a few more singles, then an EP, then an album!<\/div>\n

Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout-outs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My friends, family, role models, and fans.<\/p>\n
