Raga The Rnb - Living My Dream (Pt-4)

Image
I continued to do my job but I never gave up on my music. I used to go to office in the morning and at night I used to work on my music. I earned some money every month but everyone knows what happens once you are in a job. I used to think everyday why am I doing this? I used to give all my salary to my parents and used to pay for my expenses from my music production earnings. I learned music production while I was in the job and I started getting Rs.6, 000-10,000 for music production. I produced good music and people appreciated it and paid me for it. Raga the rnb (Anurag Atwal ) After continuing like this for 8 months I got fed up and I used to think every day that why these people who work with me in the office have no motto, dream or inspiration to be something different from the whole world. After quitting the job I and my band mate invested some money (few lakhs) to build a studio and to start production on professional level.  Our parents refused initially an...

After finishing college and with no job in hand when I went home with my B.Tech degree my parents were disappointed and depressed because they had spend a lot of money on my Engineering with a hope that after completing I will get a job but that didn’t happen. So I started taking coaching for MBA and I wrote the exam but was not able to clear it. I was not that intelligent. After all this I got depressed too. But I thought to do M.Tech and studied for a year wrote the GATE exam but no luck then studied for IES but no success in that too. I used to sit at home and think about why nothing is working out but even in those difficult times I never left my music.

Everything was going nice and easy but not for long soon some clashes started happening within the band and some members got distracted so it broke the band. Some members joined some other bands. After D18 there were so many bands that came to existence. Our songs inspired many but I lost some band mates because they chose some other bands. We were three after first few clashes then it reduced to two and then to one. It was just me and one more band mate left from the original members in the end. Now I am doing independent music and also working with my partner. After 5-6 years from when we started I was left with one band mate.   Raga The Rnb When I was in high school I chose Biology first and wanted to be a Doctor but I got scared because everyone told me that I will have to study a lot to be a Doctor so then I changed my plan and ended up doing Engineering. I am the elder brother in the family of four members. My parents were not educated enough to guide me to ch...

Hi! This is Raga (Anurag Atwal). I am a singer, songwriter, music producer and mix engineer at from New Delhi, India. I started my musical journey few years back when I was in college. I have done engineering in Electrical & Electronics but my interest was always in music. Raga The Rnb About my childhood I grew up listening to Indian music as I am born in India so I had my first musical exposure to Indian music only. I got inspired from singers like Sonu Nigam , Shaan , Adnan Sami and many more. I used to try to sing at home when I was a kid. I never went to a music school as we didn’t have enough money to afford that so I used to listen to music on cassettes that was the only way I used to practice. When I was in high school I started listening to English music and I remember I heard Michael Jackson’s song Billie Jean he became my inspiration. I used to listen to 80’s music, Backstreet Boys , Michael Jackson , Linkin Park , Latin music and Chinese m...

Raga (Anurag Atwal) I grew up listening to Indian music as I am born in India so I had my first musical exposure to Indian music only.
