Who is Randy Stern?

His first significant opportunity arose at 19 when he received an invitation to record and then tour with the funk icons “Cameo.” Just two years later, on his 21st birthday, Las Vegas superstar Wayne Newton invited Stern to join him for a twelve-month tour performing in Las Vegas and across the nation.

By the age of 23, he became part of Lionel Richie’s band, playing keyboards and guitar while also providing background vocals. Shortly thereafter, he became the pop legend’s musical director, and for over sixteen years, Stern traveled the world alongside Richie.
