Randy Derricott, or DJ Ranz as he is sometimes known, was born in Richmond, VA in February of 1989, but was raised mainly in Florida. Today he is based in Coral Springs.

Randy's interest in electronic music dates back to his childhood, where he would listen to his parents' house music records. He also enjoyed soundtracks from various Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Games because of how they were structured.

By age 13, he had already started buying, downloading and collecting some of his favorite Dance anthems and DJ mixes. He'd realized he someday wanted to do this himself. His wish was granted when one day, he discovered Garageband, a music making program for Apple's Macintosh. At first, he mainly produced experimental music but later moved toward strictly trance and house.

Randy becomes more overjoyed with each person that enjoys his music. He hopes to one day get signed to a record label so that he can share his love of electronic music with the world.
