Raghav began writing music when he was 15, heavily influenced by the pop R&B music filtering across the border from America. One of his early compositions won an award for top original song from the National Songwriters Association of America. He was 16.
Understandably, Raghav went on to receive offers of scholarships from many music schools across America but chose, at 17, to move to L.A on his own to study with the great Seth Riggs, vocal coach to, amongst others, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.
with A&R Records whilst simultaneously working with DJ producer, 2play, co-writing and performing on two singles 'It Can't Be Right' (Inferno Records) and 'So Confused' and releasing his own debut 'Can't Get Enough'. All three tracks headed straight into the UK top ten. With a minimum of mainstream fanfaring and a maximum of underground buzz, Raghav, by June of this year had already spent a total of 8 weeks in the top 10 and gained a huge urban following nationwide.
