My mission is simple: Helping people to know and experience God's love and truth, and the life He has for them. Even when going through hard times and seasons of hardship. Like I am at times.

​For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

(Bible, Jeremiah 29:11)

In my native language, my name Rano means 'wild yellow rose'. In the West, yellow rose stands for friendship. That is definitely my thing. I am a people person. I love people. And people know me to be friendly, warm, quirky and creative. A helper, encourager, and someone who loves to share God's healing and prophetic words. As well as a teacher, mother and friend.

I am always real with people: real about my strengths and real about my brokennesses.

After all, we are all work in progress.​​

I really value this "real-ness". That's why I write and sing honest songs, from a heart that seeks God.

 Songs, to help us all lift our eyes heavenward.  Songs, designed to comfort the broken-hearted, to lift up the discouraged and to reconnect to God those who are lost.

My songs are especially for you, if you are going through a hard time, or have suffered loss, pain or grief. Are you a mum or a dad, a partner or a carer living a hard life, day in and day out? Taking care of someone is far from easy, I know. Are you a child or a young person who just wishes to be heard and loved and acknowledged? God's love for you is real. Are you someone who is different from everyone around you? Are you neurodiverse or disabled or facing stigma for whatever reason?  You are unique. God deeply loves you. Are you a joyful kind of person or do you just feel like giving up? We all go through highs and lows. I do too. Whether you are feeling up or down right now, you are here, you matter and God cares about you. I hope that my songs convey the spirit of God's love for you and carry his presence into your life. Tap into it, by listening and letting the words and music wash over you. By starting a conversation with God, as if he were in the same room. If you have a Bible, open it and let God speak to you through it. (If you never read it, start with the New testament, the book of John, to get to know Him and what he is like.) Whatever good things you read about , He can do them for you too and empower you to do them too!​​

​​As an artist, my alias "Loved" came about as a result of God's revelation. Me and you being loved is something that he really wants us to know for ourselves deeply. I've met people who got that revelation and boy, they are so different from everyone else! They have the love of God ( who is LOVE) in them, like a bright sunlight, bringing joy, hope and answers to all situations through wisdom, in all they do. Once you get filled with that light, which melts away all fear and worries, you too can begin to shine with the same light. Be a ray of His sunshine. Or "light of the world", as the Bible calls it. Hope bringer and restorer. The way God works, is he fills your life so that you receive his love first. He becomes the source and an overflow into the lives of others.​

No matter who you are, my songs are designed to help you reconnect to God and his healing and guiding presence. To experience hope. To gain perspective. To help you to trust him and be restored.

And above all, to know this simple truth: you are loved. Very much. By Jesus.

So enjoy the songs, sing along and subscribe below, to join Rano's Rays of Sunshine community, if you like my music and to be sent updates and special little extras. And do follow on social media for extra content and new releases.

May you shine your brightest once again and always.

Be blessed. You are loved.

Rano
