Kip Rando Perspective on The Plan

My name is Kip Rando. I'm here to get jacked and make some good fucking music.

I come from a family plauged with addiction. this highlights some of the cycles you see.

Started off as a DJ in 2018, but wanted to make my own music when I got to college.

Alternative Hip Hop and Alternative Rock

Im starting to find my sound that I'm confident in. I've dabbled in hip hop and punk in the past, those influences are definitely noticable on upcoming releases.

Sex, Drugs and Addiction

Motorhead because of their gritty, loader than life persona. Plus they have gotten me through a lot of grimey workouts. RIP Lemmy.

I am influenced by punk and metal, specifically 90's but include melodic vocals.

A lot of my unreleased shit that I am sitting on is my favorite, but out right now I would have to say 'You Ruined my Night'. The whole song is very emo punk and everything was freestyled, including DecemberDescent's part. I remember we were in the studio and this was like our fith song we had recorded that night and just wanted to go into it blind essentially instead of coming up with a hook and bridge and all that shit.

I'm very inconsistent in what I like, but i do constantly come back to Motorhead, Ozzy, and Jean Dawson. Motorhead for their pure energy, Ozzy for his one of a kind voice, and Jean just knows how to craft amazing sound.

If I can come anywhere close to Ozzy Osbourne playing 'Bark at the Moon' while an eclipse is happening, I think I could die a happy man.

Ozzy for sure. Living Legend

Fat-jacked (but he's working on it lol) Alternative Cowboy

I make music on what I see and feel, of course that is changing constantly so there will never be one emotion a person will feel throughout my catalouge.

Just like weight training, it is a gradual growth. So finding time no matter what you are doing is essential.

showing people my music and then later finding them singing it or listening o the song when they don't know I'm there.

I am inspired by old school WWE (90's era) and want to bring that image to music, accompanied by a fitting sound.

Looking back my first songs I ever released were absolute dog water. It's scary looking back now and going how the hell did I not know.

If I'm actively making fans and can go on a tour and not lose money.

Listening back to my first few songs.

Working in live sound production.

Its hard to say, but for sure Paris Texas, maybe like Kenny Mason or some of Jean Dawson.

It takes time to craft shit, but you have to know when to just let go and release it.
