About the 'Ragav' project.

As an immigrant to the US and having grown up among many different cultures, my musical tastes are as much a melting pot as my adopted country. The 'Ragav' project is an east meets west fusion, that is a musical expression of this very melting pot of cultures. It fuses together genres as far away as South-Indian Carnatic, and progressive Metal. The song writing is emblematic of this same blend of cultures - from homefree, which is a positive spin on the immigrant experience in the US, to dual states of existence, which is a song that carries stereotypically Seattle-grunge themes of being lost among a chaotic world.

Genre
  • Progressive-Rock
  • Carnatic
  • Grunge
Similar Acts
  • Opeth
  • Porcupine Tree
  • Deftones
  • Motherjane

Consequently, The Ragav project draws a diverse audience from a variety of different musical afflictions. There is a large closeted metalhead audience-base among the immigrant tech-community of Seattle that is eager for new original music, having followed bands such as Motherjane and Avial. There is also a new wave of local Seattle audiences from fans of bands such as Alice in Chains to those such as Porcupine Tree, that are also very receptive to this style of east-meets-west fusion-metal music.

Apart from this solo project, I am also the bass player for Sugar Bones and Sludge Factory, two popular Seattle-based bands.
