about arjavrawal
Hi everyone! I am Arjav Rawal from Dublin, CA in the Bay Area. I am currently a sophomore in high school. As the son of Indian immigrants, most of my early memories are from listening to Indian classical music. I took vocal lessons for Indian classical music, and have recorded some of my favorite Indian music, taking inspiration from bands like U2, R.E.M., Coldplay, and etc etc. I'm on all major streaming services and digital music stores, for those of you interested. Just look up "Arjav Rawal" and you should find the 3 songs I've done, as well as a remix of one by a good friend of mine.
The album I released in January of 2018, entitled "Atulya" in memory of my grandfather, was recorded mostly during a time period when I was listening to a lot of Achtung Baby. The extreme experimentation on that record inspired me to do a lot of my own as well. A lot of U2-esque treatment has been given to this album -- my grandfather's song choices were very conventional for the genre they're from, so the interpretations would (I think) be otherwise unheard of. But enough of that for now.
I look forward to participating in some constructive discussions about unarguably one of the best rock bands on the planet. Thanks all!
