Raghav (born August, 2004) is a virtuoso drummer who started at a young age of 3. Even at an early stage in his musical journey he amazed all at his sense of rhythm and feel on the drums. After many countless hours of playing live music across genres with the local School of Rock program, he was fortunate to be hired as a principal character in Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony-nominated School of Rock, the musical on Broadway where he performed (acted, sang and played live drums) for over 500 shows in the span of 18 months. While at the musical, he had many amazing opportunities to perform including at the Tony Awards, ABC Good Morning America, and many others. He went back to work with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on the 30th anniversary of Phantom of the Opera and to support the American Theater Wing. Seeing his picture on a billboard in Times Square was probably among the proudest moments of his time on Broadway.
Raghav has since developed his unique voice on the drums through his musicality and creativity and has a dedicated following on social media where he posts short clips of what he is working on and inspires many others to create alongside him. He has been regularly collaborating with legendary bassist Doug Wimbish (Sugarhill Gang, Living Colour) and has played shows with him across the country. Raghav was recently back as a guest drummer sitting in with the 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers. He has taught on Drumeo and is active in the drumming education community. Raghav has been recognized as one of the Up & Coming Drummers in a recent Modern Drummer Reader’s poll and by many prominent musicians like Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Steve Smith, Questlove, AR Rahman, and Mark Guiliana.
