A piano virtuoso, Randall will be displaying his story-telling skills in a refreshing way.
[On artist Nyus] “I love the way his voice sounds when I’m listening to his music. He sounds like one of the big name rappers or R&B singers like Lucky Daye.”

The artists, mentioned previously, were selected as a result of their extraordinary talents.
