Born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Tracy Randall's music and entertainment career has spanned over 15 plus years of hard work and determination. A budding electrical engineer, Randall realized that he had another calling—MUSIC!  Influenced at an early age by the legendary genius of Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, Donny Hathaway, Peabo Bryson, Natalie Cole and Glen Jones, he engineered a major recording deal with T-Neck/Island Black Music in the mid-90's. However, with the shuffling of labels in 1999, the PolyGram/Universal merger prompted the young man to search for another recording home. He created Lavish Records, LLC and partnered with Tate Music Group whereby Randall executive produced, produced and wrote this amazing body of work "Troubled Times", that has received praise from radio and retail, attracting both secular and Christian audiences alike.
