about
While most of us are learning to read & write at the age of four, Raghav Sachar started playing his first musical instrument. His father made an interesting deal with him – Raghav would be gifted one instrument every year. The catch? He couldn’t ask for any other gifts. Most four year olds would’ve thrown a tantrum. Raghav Sachar agreed. At seven, he learnt the recorder (English Flute) and passed grades 5 & 6 of the Trinity College of Music exams with distinction. He started playing the drums at nine, and won Best Drummer in the All-India Junior segment. He began instrument multi-tasking – playing harmonica, the bongo and drums together. He was so good that the government chose him as their representative in Russia at a cultural exchange program. What was probable at 4, became a certainty as time passed- Raghav Sachar was a young & phenomenally talented musician. Guitar playing in school, got him into a rock band - “Canzona”. They toured all over India and played at key places like the IIT institutions, BITS Pilani etc. His passion for music also led him into the Delhi Music Theatre for musicals like “Grease”. Raghav went on to study Music & Composition at Monash University in Australia. He specialized in Jazz & toured South-East Asia with Monash. All of this while also playing in jingles with Shantanu Moitra and Daniel B George, and performing Live with Canzona and other bands. He continued to work on ad jingles for brands like Hutch, Airtel, Honda, Toyota & Maruti.
