Random, aka Mega Ran, or Random Beats. Teacher, Rapper, Hero.

When LA Weekly said that Rans fanbase and niche audiences are growing at a rate not seen since Tech N9ne, they meant it. A former middle school teacher, Mega Ran (formerly Random) blends education, hip-hop and gaming in amazing new ways, penetrating the farthest reaches of the galaxy with his unique rhyme style and electric performances.

... After creating a tribute album and receiving an unprecedented level of support and blessing from Capcom to continue, Ran was reborn(as Mega Ran) and became a trailblazer in the budding nerdcore and chiptune subgenres, while coining his own term to describe what he had done, Chip-Hop.

Various video game developer co-signs and admiration from the genres toughest critics have led to placements in TV, movies, university coursework, and of course, games. Randoms music and story have been shared on stages across the world, on television (ABC/NBC News, ESPN, Portlandia, Tosh.O, WWE Wrestling) and in leading music, gaming and tech publications, print and online.

Today, Random is no longer a teacher by title, but maintains a rigorous touring and recording schedule, traveling the world to entertain and educate through the gift of rhyme. With over 3 million YouTube views and a legion of smart art fans he calls Team Mega beside him, the future looks brighter than ever.
