078 – Stanley Randolph: Taking Los Angeles by Storm
In this podcast I talked to drummer Stanley Randolph, who is best know as the current touring drumming for Stevie Wonder. Stanley is a young drummer who has made a name for himself in Los Angeles and beyond. Not only has Stanley reached great success, he has done it at a relatively young age but networking, staying committed to his craft and above all, being a genuine person. Listen is as Stanley tells his story about leaving his home in Memphis, hitting the ground running in Lost Angeles and befriending Brian Frasier-Moore and the late, great Ricky Lawson.
