Ran-D has been active in hardstyle music since 2006, when he released his first track “D-Pression” on Special Records. After his debut release, Ran-D moved on to release his music on the large Hardstyle Record Label A2 Records, which is a sub-label of Scantraxx Recordz. After releasing on A2 Records for seven years, in March 2015 and alongside Frequencerz, Adaro and B-Front, Ran-D founded a new hardstyle record label, “Roughstate Music”. Roughstate is now regarded as a well-known record label within Hardstyle and now has a catalogue of over 100 releases.

Ran-D has released numerous popular songs, including official cover of "Zombie" by The Cranberries, "Living For The Moment," "Firestarter," "Nirvana," "Suicidal Superstar" with Phuture Noize, "Band Of Brothers," and "Hurricane," which was awarded 1st place[1] in the Q-dance Top 100 of 2018.

Aside from his solo career as Ran-D, in collaboration with Adaro, Randy is also a part of the well-known Hardstyle live-act Gunz For Hire which was founded in 2011.[2] Gunz For Hire are a successful live-act that have performed at many large-scale festivals and events and have released many hit songs, including "Bella Ciao," "Sorrow," "Bolivia," "Plata O Plomo," "No Mercy" and "Armed & Dangerous."

Ran-D has collaborated with other artists in hardstyle including Alpha2, Zatox, Zany, B-Front, Phuture Noize, Crypsis and Digital Punk. He performed at several hardstyle events, including Qlimax, Hard Bass, Defqon.1 Festival (in Australia, Netherlands and in Chile), Daydream Mexico, Decibel Outdoor Festival, Reverze, Q-BASE and The Qontinent. Furthermore, in January 2017, Ran-D was invited to host his own X-Qlusive Event[3] in collaboration with Q-Dance. X-Qlusive Ran-D was held in the AFAS Live in Amsterdam (formerly known as the Heineken Music Hall) and was successfully sold out.

Ran-D has also reached commercial recognition as a Hardstyle disk jockey and music producer in many countries where he has performed, such as China, Myanmar, Australia, Mexico, the United States, Germany, Thailand, England, Czech Republic, Spain, Canada, Chile, Belgium, France, Slovenia, Italy and Poland.
