About the artist

Randy Newman

Randy Newman is the eccentric uncle of American singer-songwriters, known for his witty lyrics, distinctive vocals, and unparalleled storytelling abilities. With a career spanning over five decades, Newman has established himself as a musical chameleon, effortlessly switching between genres like pop, rock, jazz, and even film scores. Born in Los Angeles in 1943, Newman comes from a long line of musicians, including his famous uncles Alfred and Lionel Newman, both celebrated composers in the film industry. His musical upbringing undoubtedly influenced his unique style, which combines clever wordplay with a knack for catchy melodies. Newman's discography is a treasure trove of musical gems, from the anthemic "Short People" to the heartbreaking "Sail Away" and the Oscar-winning "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the Toy Story franchise. His songs have been covered by artists ranging from Harry Nilsson to Ray Charles, cementing his status as a songwriter's songwriter. Despite his critical acclaim and numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards and an induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Newman remains refreshingly humble and down-to-earth. His live performances are a masterclass in storytelling and musicianship, with the artist charming audiences with his dry wit and self-deprecating humour. In a musical landscape plagued by trends and fads, Randy Newman stands out as a timeless artist whose music transcends genre and generations. With his latest album, "Dark Matter," Newman proves that he still has plenty to say and sing about, cementing his status as a musical legend for the ages.
