About Me

R Squared is a project that I decided to undertake In the summer of 2007. Words and Music by Randy Rektor, R Squared is an Acoustic Pop-Rock album performed in studio by a 6 piece band consisting of three guitars, bass, drums, keys, and vocals. The inspiration came from a variety of influences in my life. I decided to make it a self named CD. The two Rs are representative of my name and the squared well its squared. I was drawn in by my family into Jazz roots and thats where I developed an understanding of songwriting and music theory. The influences to my music does indeed partially come from a jazz background, however I brought out the Pop-Rock side of my mind. I have performed at several venues throughout my hometown of London, On. consisting of restaurants, halls, and small park performances. I continue to perform at basically any opportunity I can play. R2 will hopefully be coming out before the end of this spring.I will be coming out with an acoutic EP early this spring. It will be self recorded (all instruments) and it sill have for of the eight songs that will be featured on R2.Cast A Line, Memory Reunion, Saturday, Awake. MyGen Profile Generator
