While attending I.A.R. (Institute of Audio Research) to become a Audio Engineer Randy managed to intern at a show called ‘’The Round Table’’ hosted by Lenny S who was VP OF A&R at Def Jam records and currently VP at RocNation. With the ear to always bring brand new talent at the show, including CD's of early work from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Action Bronson, Mac Miller and A$AP Rocky, Lenny S brought Randy under his wing and had him interning at Def Jam in 2010.
While at Def Jam, Randy helped A&R Coordinate Fabolous, Ne-Yo, The Dream and Jay-Z/Kanye West ''The ‘’Watch the Throne’’ Album. With hard work and dedication Randy manage to cross over from Def Jam to RocNation gaining a A&R Position and helped work on Jay-Z ‘'Magna Carta’’ Album and recently Fabolous ‘’The Young OG Project’’.
