RANDY EMILIO
identity through music.
Randy Emilio is an artist whose work is deeply connected to his personal journey through music. His passion for his craft is evident, yet the obstacles he has had to overcome to reach this point are significant and deserve recognition. Through his music and album cover design, he conveys this story in a contemporary and compelling way.
worth the wait
To take a break from something you are so passionate about - not because you want to, but because you need to - is a difficult choice to make. In his single Worth the Wait, Randy hopes that this necessary pause from music will allow him to return stronger and for listeners to appreciate him for who he has since become.
The intentionally blurred portrait serves as an artistic metaphor, depicting a man who had lost himself for a period but is now preparing to reemerge in his own time. The colors feature a mix of blues, purples, and orange, reminiscent of a rising sun to represent the dawn of a new era.

The want
To be stuck as an artist due to creative block is one thing, but to feel trapped by your environment is another. The Want explores this angst and the urge to just be free and make create what you want to create without the pressures of the world or the people around you.
The long-exposure shots explore Randy’s identity once more. It resembles someone who may be losing vision of themself or somebody who does not know who to be. The red resembles anger, but also confusion as the character lashes out.
