We recently connected with Randy Louis and have shared our conversation below.
Randy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
I think currently the most meaningful project I’ve worked on is the one I’m working on right now. All in part because everything feels fresh and all new to me. I’ve been trying to follow-up the last record I put out and doing a sequel type EP for ‘Love on TV’ for a while but nothing was really working until just recently. Which has been a maze on its own but I don’t know. This one feels fun. I’m loving it so far. I hope it’s not too long now. I don’t want to say too much but to just get ready for number 2 :D
Randy, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m randy louis and I am a musician/artist. I think my family being fans of pop music and the hits on the radio. It just seemed like the coolest thing ever to do growing up and so out of my realm.
And it still feels very much like that,
I dont know, I mainly just want to put out cool beachy guitar songs, that maybe pumps you up, or maybe makes you feel cool.
I want to make you feel cool.
…and maybe make a comic or two. 😎
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
I very much am driven by the randomness of creating stuff. I’m always pretty eager and excited to see how things end up. And most of the time it’s never what I imagined it to be at all.
With any project, lately I’ve just been obsessive with them and living inside them in my mind for the past couple of months. I dont know, I feel a lot of freedom right now to try things and I want to stay in this headspace.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
I talk to the people around me about this a bit but I noticed with myself that I can’t plan anything. Something will sabotage it or get in the way. It always happens, laughably everytime. But I have to literally not plan anything ever and it’s there where I get more done and it’s super strange to me. A friend of mind literally told me the universe is telling me to just trust it. So I’m learning to trust the universe.. and unlearn my intuition, i guess. 🤗
