"Rand is a creative genius at work...The sound is impressively rich and spacious throughout, a record that immerses itself in the waters of evident command in production technique in the studio. Highly melodic and rich in musical detail, Rand has proven to have put much thought in what turns out to be a highly introspective recording."
-------Shawn M. Haney (Performer Magazine)
Tasteful and impressive guitar playing as well as considerable acoustic guitar skills.
-------Mike Varney (Guitar Player Magazine)
"Jermaine Rand's music could be used as the definition of what I call SoulRock. Rand's excellent guitar work and funky riffs mesh with a rock attitude. The result is a soulful rock cornucopia."
-------Christopher Van Loan (Music Dish)
"Ranging from raucous to reflective, guitarist/songwriter RAND has a style that could be described as heavy soul. RAND's work with acts as disparate Dionne Farris and Public Enemy comes through on his self-titled solo debut."
-------Hutchinson (Creative Loafing)
As a guitarist, writer producer and engineer, he has performed or recorded with an eclectic mix of artists such as Van Hunt (Capitol), Joi (Universal), Divinity (Interscope), Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Blackeyed Peas (A&M), Fergie, Dionne Farris (Columbia), Public Enemy (Confrontation Camp), Cee-lo (Arista, Gnarles Barkley), Esperanza (La Face), Earl Hudson (The Bad Brains/ Soul Brains), Clutch (Columbia), Mother’s Finest, and Corey Glover (Living Colour/LaFace/Epic).
Rand currently performs throughout the US as a solo recording artist supporting the albums "Time", "Revolution of Real" and his self-titled debut. He is also a frequent guitarist for various bands and projects.

Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...
