Randy Mason grew up in New York City, where she has lived most of her life. A teenager during the turbulent 1970s, she would escape her own demons by immersing herself in school, music, art, and alternate worlds. Feeling unfulfilled in medical school, she left to pursue a career as a rock musician, ultimately performing her original music for over 25 years, mostly in the New York City club scene in such venues as the Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways, CBGBs, CB's Gallery, and the Cutting Room. Appearing solo, duo, and in bands, her melodic, driving rock and evocative lyrics, coupled with the sincerity and intensity of her performances, left audiences deeply affected.
During this time, she held a variety of jobs, including writing complex computer programs to process market research data. She was published in Chance Magazine after solving an unusual statistical paradox of means, her article drawing the attention of world-renowned mathematician John Allen Paulos. Her final musical performance was headlining the 2002 Labor of Love charity concert, organized and promoted by Lisa Sanders in New York City.
Just a few years later, she made the decision to return to graduate school, becoming a psychoanalytic psychotherapist to help others as she herself had been helped. And after having spent about 25 years writing and self-editing her manuscript, her award-winning novel, Falling Back to One, was published by Endnote Press. Creating the book's award-winning cinematic trailer was her first foray into the medium of film, while the trailer’s award-winning poster was the first movie poster she'd ever created.
She has also continued to release recordings: “The River Runs” as a digital single in 2017 and “Brightest White” in 2026. The mystical and spiritual influences that have always been woven into her work are evident in both.
An avid martial artist for many years, she earned two black belts during the course of her training. She also discovered a love of photography. One of her greatest regrets is not having pursued her love of physics.
