Mega Ran

Teacher/Rapper/Hero. Inquiries: [email protected] Retro videogames were the catalyst.

If you put videogames, the '80s, hip-hop, soul music, jazz and standup comedy into a blender and hit "puree," you'd have something close to The Mega Ran Experience. The Penn State graduate and self-proclaimed "Teacher/Rapper/Hero" made waves by by combining 8-bit videogame sounds and hard-hitting hip-hop tracks, and has become a trailblazer in the budding genres of chiptune and nerdcore hip-hop, w

I was told today by a trans fan that my shows are considered a safe space among the community, which made them comfortable to present as their true self tonight. 🥹 that might be my greatest accomplishment

Happy pride! 🌈

Austin tonight, Houston tomorrow!

I enjoy a challenge. I really really do. I kinda need it. My mom does crossword puzzles to stay sharp, and I do this.

This tour is a bigger challenge than most cause it’s the first time I’m riding alone. Solo dolo. No DJ, no hype man, no merch guy, no driver. Just me, snacks and some long southwest drives.

I love it though. As a new dad I welcome a moment to be alone with my thoughts (I might have the next 3 album ideas already) but I really miss my family a lot.

I get to the show, set up merch, and then guess what: it kinda feels like a family reunion. I hear songs I remember from a past life, I see people I hadn’t seen in years, and we tell stories and laugh together.

See ya soon! Next few dates:

6.16 ABQ
6.17 Amarillo
6.18 Tulsa
6.19 Ft. Worth
6.20 Austin
6.21 Houston
