Following
an unequalled run of 3 singles and 8 weeks in the Top 10 already
this year and with his 4th single tearing through the clubs &
radio stations across the country, Raghav releases his debut album
Storyteller. "Writing a good song is being like a storyteller
and music is a good extension of that," says the wunderkid
of Asian-flavoured US R&B music. Storyteller includes Raghav's
hits 'Cant' Get Enough', 'So Confused' and 'Let's Work it Out'.
Raghav
is a young member of the new multiculturally rich world. The 23-year-old
first generation Canadian was brought up in a trilingual community
and speaks English, French and Hindi fluently (if with the subtlest
hint of Canadian). He studied Indian classical music with Guru Nishi
Kant Bali from the age of 5 before moving in a more pop R&B
direction and winning a National Songwriters Association of America
award at 16. He then left home to study with vocal coach Seth Riggs
(vocal coach to Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson), going on to
win a scholarship to study music in the UK.
Raghav
hooked up with Sly & Robbie and Mushtaq shortly after arriving
in the UK and for the last two years has been fine-tuning a myriad
musical influences (R&B, Asian, a little Bollywood and a little
rap with both English and Hindi lyrics) into his own unique sound.
This
year, writing and recording with inspirational DJ producer, 2Play,
Raghav has found himself in the top ten twice in the last few months,
as well as signing an album deal with A&R Records and achieving
his own debut top ten hit with 'Can't Get Enough'. All achieved
with a minimum of mainstream fan fare and a maximum of underground
buzz.
