Profile Information

About Me:: Mr. Eckhardt was a key component to the inevitable success of the massively popular and award winning music game, RedOctane’s “Guitar Hero” and “Guitar Hero 2”. His responsibilities ranged from music supervision, song licensing, strategic alliances with Gibson Guitars, MTV Games and Guitar World; to the talent endorsement deal with ex-Ozzy guitarist, Zakk Wylde.

Before starting his own company in January 2005, Randy began his career working with Billboard Magazine and then CBS radio. He parlayed his acquired music and negotiating skills to a position with video game giant, Electronic Arts/EA SPORTS, where he worked for eight years. While there, he grew his position from Game Producer to Director of Music Relations. After leaving EA in 2001, he joined On Board Entertainment as Vice President of Music Supervision & Business Development (Interactive) and then moved to Rock River Communications as Vice President of Music Supervision & Business Development (Interactive).

Randy has been a keynote and panel speaker at music conferences like MIDEM in Cannes, France and CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK in Toronto, Canada and COLLEGE MUSIC JOURNAL (CMJ) in New York City. He is also on the Blue Bear School of Music Board of Directors in San Francisco and is a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Science (NARAS).
