Elder Randall Ogans Sr.  was born in San Francisco, California. He is a ordained Elder/Minister, and Recording Artist.

 He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of seven, and has continuously been active in the Church in a multiplicity of capacities ever since, never leaving.

 At the age of 10 he began studying and playing the piano and the Hammond B-3 organ. At the age of 13, he began playing for choirs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. He studied classical and jazz piano, but his real music interest was Christian/Gospel music.  He effortlessly weaves the styles of christian/gospel, classical, soul, and jazz together with both great flair and grace.

In March, 2020 he released his first single, an inspirational message/spoken word entitled “We Need To Pray”.  Released during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, and inspired by a conversation with a young homeless man, this message encourages us to pray for the homeless, saints, sinners, our families, and this world which is quickly spiraling down a slippery slope. 

Also, in 2020 he released his instrumental album entitled “What A Friend”.  Elder Randall Ogans Sr. and his son Dorian Ogans, present a few classic hymns, bathed in smooth instrumental arrangements, with soulful Jazz inflections! 

“What A Friend” includes 7 compositions that will calm the agitations of the soul, and will set an atmosphere for worship, spiritual reflection, prayer, and studying the Word.   Each song on this album has a message that will speak to your soul.  

In September 2021, the father & son duo released their single, “Pass Me Not”.  This is a smooth uplifting instrumental version of the hymn Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour, where the music cries out “Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry, while on others thou are calling, please don’t pass me by”.

In March 2023 Elder Randall Ogans Sr. & Dorian Ogans released the single "There Is A Fountain", another instrumental that causes one to reflect on the saving power of the blood of Christ. 

In September 2023, they released  the featured single from the album/EP, “Jesus The Light Of the World, entitled “Walking In The Light”.   The full album/EP was released in January 2024.

This dynamic duo's music has found favor with Gospel, Christian, and jazz music lovers alike. You can listen to their recordings here on this site, and they are  available on all digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, and Pandora. 

Elder Randall Ogans Sr. favorite scripture is:   

 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”  Colossians 3:16

His instrumental arrangements of time-tested hymns help you to do what Ephesians 5:19 encourages as well, which is to "speak to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

In addition to his ministerial calling, Elder Randall Ogans Sr.  has an extensive background in Information Technology, having served as an IT Director for AT&T, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for several IT Consulting firms, and Chief of Portfolio & Project Management for the California Department Of Health Care Services.
