R on SoundBetter

Originally from India, I'm an Artist, producer and composer based in Los Angeles. I love working with people from across the globe and creating music that is cinematic, unique and edgy

Music has been my best friend since childhood, as a child I sang in the school choir and picked up the guitar when I was 12. I would write lyrics and melodies and try put chords to the songs inside my head. My love and curiosity for music took me to the city of London, where I studied a Bachelor's in Popular Music Performance at BIMM, London. I loved every second of this program and this is where I found my love for production and composition. I went on to study a Master's degree in Composing for Film & TV at Kingston University, London. Soon, after graduation, I moved back home and started releasing music as a self-producing artist, I even picked up the camera and made music videos - my music video "Listen" was nominated and screened at various film festivals across the globe and won the Indian Music Video Award. I moved to the USA in 2017, and studied another Master's degree in Audio Arts, since then I've lived NYC and LA.
