Following
an unequalled run of 3 singles and 8 weeks in the Top 10 already
this year, Raghav releases 'Let's Work It Out' on 23rd August 2004.
The single features UK rapper Jahaziel (AKA Solid Rock) and is produced
by Mushtaq. Re-mixes come from his longtime cohorts Sly & Robbie
and also DJ Assad & Jo Jo Yannik. Co-written
by Raghav, Let's Work It Out is a hot beat on a slow simmer, infused
with insistent eastern countermelodies and overlaid with sweet honey
vocals.
ABOUT
RAGHAV
Raghav
is a young member of the new multiculurally 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). Raghav 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 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 honing his 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 with a minimum
of mainstream fanfaring and a maximum of underground buzz.
Raghav
is now in serious danger of going overground
. from receiving
a euphoric audience reaction as one of the first artists ever to
perform on the newly created 'Br-Asian Experience' at Glastonbury,
to headlining the UK-wide, Arena-filling Mela's this summer, Raghav
looks set to become one of the first truly crosscultural Asian music
stars.
