 About the musician - Raghupathy Dixit
The Raghu Dixit Project, founded by Raghupathy Dixit, is an open house for musicians and artistes from different genres to come together, collaborate and create a dynamic sound and
expression. Though a gold medalist in Masters in Microbiology and a proficient Indian Classical Dancer (Vidwat in Bharatnatyam), Raghupathy Dixit is now known more as a self-taught guitarist-singer-composer-song writer-musician, based in Bangalore. As the founder-front man of his band ‘Antaragni’ for more than eight years, and now of ‘The Raghu Dixit Project’, Raghu has performed more than 250 concerts all over India. His band ‘The Raghu Dixit Project’ is all set to launch its debut album through Phat Phish Records.
Raghu’s music is a seamless amalgamation of Indian ethnic music and styles from different parts of the world. His lyrics though intense, are simple and speak about every common man’s emotions and experiences, therefore, making his songs extremely popular among his fans. Inserting Indian ethnic folk, Sufi and classical phrases cleverly into his songs, Raghu’s singing style can be described as unique at best. His vocal range and versatility has often been appreciated with awe. His
songs
Mysore se aayi, Mumbai, Antaragni,
Hey Bhagwan, Har Saans Mein, Gudugudiya
and many more are very popular among his fans.
Raghu has also produced music for contemporary dance and theatre productions. He has composed and produced music for most of the productions by one of the leading contemporary dance groups of India ‘The Nritarutya Dance Collective’. He has also produced music for Sampradaya Dance Creation production ‘Howzaat’, a contemporary dance production based on the game of Cricket. This production is currently being presented all over Canada. Girish Karnad’s Hayavadana and Black Coffee’s Body Catcher have been his most famous works that brought him critical acclaim as a composer for theatre productions.
