Randy Stephens

Hi, I’m Randy. I’m a student living in Mount Kisco, New York. I am a fan of music, basketball, and acting. I’m also interested in singing and sports. I've been studying Liberal arts and Social Science in Westchester Community College, with hopes to eventually get back to playing basketball in a structured system. Basketball was always my first love, as far as hobbies go. I've played basketball since I was about 5 years old and it's pretty much shaped my social life and my overall mentality/ personality. As my life progressed I become interested in music around my 4th- 5th grade years. I started writing music when I was only 11 and my first time actually recording a song and video was when I was only 12 years old. We began with a small group called Hood Legacy, which was basically three young children telling stories of the neighborhood in which we lived in. At the time, We were young and didn't really know how talented we were, and now as I look back on the situation, it was extremely rare that 12 and 13 year olds were producing the art that we were producing, we were way ahead of our time and did not realize it, which is part of the reason for our falling out. Acting I've never actually tried it, I've always just been interested because I know I would be good at it. over the years of college I've taken a few film classes, and for the most part I just find cinematography and Mise-en-scene interesting because I was never aware of those aspects of film. when a professor broke the aspects down to me I started to see these teachings in practically every movie I see and I just find it interesting how camera angles/ movements/ and background designs can have such impact on a films success. Singing was just something that came along with making music, I was never this superior singer, I always just knew how to harmonize my voice and at least stay on key. This helps when I make music because it allows me to be multi-dimensional. instead of just rapping. I can change my voice and it adds creativity and versatility. Sports was an interest of mine for as long as I can remember. as a kid, any sport I tried or any sport I played, I tended to be good at, I was always the athlete growing up which always kept me interested in sports, therefore I know that if I do not succeed in music, I want to have a career in sports.
