Born and raised in Punjab, India, Raghav has been living in Montreal since 2016. It's hard to deny that Montreal has introduced changes to his taste in music, but his liking for electronic music has been there since 2010.
He loves Deep, Progressive, and Ethereal tunes, whether it falls under the House or Techno genre. He is totally biased toward those tracks that make you feel a certain way and can be danced to.
Using ideas gathered from years of listening to cultural melodies from the east, Raghav is also dipping his toes into production, and the goal in 2023 is to double down on surrounding himself with good music, playing, and putting it out there.
