[1] Ran began his musical career as coordinator in the Ramat Gan tribe of the Israel Boy and Girl Scouts Federation.

Later, he attracted a loyal group of fans after starting to perform in Tel Aviv pubs on the local underground music scene.

He rose to fame after the 2005 release of the film Ushpizin, whose soundtrack featured two of his older songs, "Atah Kadosh" and "Yesh Rak HaKadosh Baruch Hu".

As the title indicates, the Unplugged album is a 2-disc set of acoustic renderings of many of the songs from his studio recordings, performed in an often boisterous and exuberant manner, including a live version of "Atah Kadosh."

His music is influenced by Israeli singers Meir Ariel, Arik Einstein, and Shalom Hanoch, and foreign acts like Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, TRex, and Pink Floyd.
