Raised in small towns in Missouri, Redd performed in Los Angeles in the 1940s under the stage name "Juan Rolando" in order to be admitted to the white-only musicians' union and obtain more work. Later, Redd performed from the late 1940s through the 1990s by calling himself "Korla Pandit" and passing as a French-Indian musician. Redd became an early celebrity by playing the piano and the organ on television. While Redd's wife and some African-American colleagues knew of his true heritage, it was not revealed to his sons or to the public during his lifetime.
