About Randumb Thoughtz
From Humble (And Randumb) Beginnings
As all great ideas go, it really came out of nowhere.
After the dissolution of his first podcast, a music industry-centered, discussion-based show called The Independent Forum, Raymond "The Lyrics" Schinnery, Jr. wanted to move in a different direction, but didn't exactly know what he wanted to do next. At that time in the early 2010s, Facebook was the dominant social media platform, and Lyrics frequently used it to connect with his friends. family, and the global community at large. For years, he would write posts, often starting off with "Randumb Thoughtz...", followed by his signature outrageous points of views. After years of posting, and noticing the responses it prompted, Lyrics thought it would be great to level up his idea and turn it into a live show.
In 2020, he switched platforms and began to go live on Instagram with an online friend, A.D.V.I.S.S., he met through fellow artist, Stephanie Gayle. Initially, they created a live financial literacy show entitled "Power of the Dollar". Over time, Stephanie Gayle joined the live conversations and became a regular, and the name of the show eventually became "Randumb Thoughtz". In the middle of the second season of the show, another close friend of Stephanie's - Eric Ramos - graduated to a regular host.
During the third season, the gang switched platforms, once again, and expanded to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, to accommodate a growing audience.
