Biography

Edit

Award winning musician Randy Newman's childhood began in Los Angeles but included time spent in New Orleans, absorbing the city's signature rhythm & blues to accompany his family's pop-orchestral endowment. He meshed his musical roots with strong doses of singer-songwriter creativity, penning tunes that made artists like Dusty Springfield, Irma Thomas, and Harry Nilsson swoon. But Newman also integrated a cutting theatricality into his song craft, making unlikely pop hits that stung the airwaves ("Short People"), and a host of popular film scores, including the Toy Story movies.
