Hello Randy, welcome to HONK! Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

Randyman – I was born into it. Being born and raised in New Orleans music is in your blood. At a young age, we were going to parades hearing the marching bands play, our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles playing soulful music in their cars, homes and it just becomes one of those things you find yourself loving.

I also was inspired by a lot of great music artists from New Orleans like Cash Money Records, No Limit Records, to even just going into New Orlean’s very own Peaches music store where we would go to hear music, get autographs from music artists and just vibe out.

 

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

Randyman – I would say it had to be a middle school for me when I was like one day I’m going to be successful with this music. I just need to stay consistent and never give up and put myself in a situation that will block me from being the next GOAT.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

Randyman – I’m from down south but sound like I’m from the east coast. I make music for the masses. I make music for everyone, not just the environment I grew up in and I can take what I’ve been through and paint a visual painting so clearly, you can create a movie from it.

 

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

Randyman – Each release is special to me. Some of my latest releases like Scared Money, Milli To Billi, Coco, Easy, Under The Radar, The Rebirth, Some Other Places are all real-life situations where I’ll bring you into my world. Where you’ll get the opportunity to hear some of my life stories, from pain to gain the ups and the down, the hurt to the cold heart.

 

Can you give us a brief insight into your upcoming projects?

Randyman – I have a new release dropping 4/14/2022 Titled “The Move” it’s a vibe about being taken for granted.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

Randyman – Get everything in writing, own your own master and read and study the business side of the industry as much as possible.

 

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?

Randyman – I’m into Computer Engineering, Social Media Marketing, Reading, Fishing, Hiking, Playing Sports, and Shooting Guns.

Any last piece of advice for those artists who just started making music?

Randyman – Write every single day don’t take no days off because there are so many artists trying to be great so you have to keep your skills sharp.

Read everything as many times as you need to when it comes down to contracts. Get you a lawyer and not a label-appointed lawyer get your own.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama

Ghost of Panama

Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.

This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.

Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival

Amanda Holley

“NO MORE carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.

“NO MORE is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.

Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.

“NO MORE is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
