As an ambitious kid growing up in the Stowe Village housing project in Hartford, Connecticut, Rahni was greatly affected by the musical influence of his parents. \u201cOur house always had music playing! Day and night! It was a way of life for me!\u201d Years ago in a small room in the back of the house, his dream began. Wires, microphones and tape recorders everywhere.\xa0 Hanging on the wall was a spray-painted replica of a gold album. Music staff paper covered the floor as an electric piano sat in the middle of the room.\xa0 He looks at the painted gold record and says\xa0\u201cOne day that thing on the wall is going to be the real thing!\u201d\xa0 As a teen, Rahni would sit obsessively for hours taking in the magic of his musical role models. He was very picky about who he listened to. From the pioneering Gospel music genius of Myrna Summers and Henry Jackson to the jazz, r&b, and funk of\xa0Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey, and the arrangements of Thom Bell, Gene Page,\xa0Quincy Jones and Henry Mancini.\xa0\n\nThroughout his many years as a producer, musician, and recording engineer, he has kept his finger on the pulse of the ever-changing music industry and its numerous trends, without missing a beat!\xa0From Funk, R&B, and Hip-Hop to Classical, Pop, Rock, and Jazz!\xa0Unlike the predictability of many producers of today, Rahni is a true music chameleon.\xa0\n\nFollow Rahni Song on Facebook and\xa0Twitter.
