HAILING FROM THE VIBRANT CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, RAUDRA (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ONI) IS AN INDIAN-AMERICAN ARTIST WHO HAS CARVED A UNIQUE NICHE IN THE WORLD OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC AS A DRUM & BASS DJ/PRODUCER. WITH ROOTS THAT SPAN ACROSS CONTINENTS, RAUDRA’S MUSICAL JOURNEY BEGAN IN 2011, EVOLVING OVER THE YEARS INTO AN AWE-INSPIRING FUSION OF DIVERSE INFLUENCES. HIS JOURNEY THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC LANDSCAPE LED HIM TO JOIN FORCES WITH THE RENOWNED LABEL ASPIRE HIGHER IN 2020, A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE THAT AMPLIFIED HIS ARTISTIC PROWESS AND BROUGHT HIS MUSICAL VISION TO A LARGER AUDIENCE.

 

RAUDRA’S PERFORMANCES HAVE GRACED STAGES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES AT MAJOR MUSIC FESTIVALS SUCH AS ELEMENTS, SUBMERSION, AND BIGFOOT ELECTRO. SHARING STAGES WITH ICONS LIKE NOISIA, ALIX PEREZ, IVY LAB, KILL THE NOISE, RUSKO, AND OTHERS, HIS DYNAMIC SETS SEAMLESSLY BLEND EUPHORIA AND ENERGY, IGNITING DANCEFLOORS WITH AN ELECTRIFYING SPARK.

 

ACADEMICALLY AND CREATIVELY INCLINED, RAUDRA’S DEDICATION TO HIS CRAFT IS EVIDENT THROUGH HIS DUAL STUDIES IN MUSIC AND AUDIO ENGINEERING. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE EUROPEAN DRUM & BASS SCENE, HE SKILLFULLY MERGES THESE INFLUENCES WITH THE RICH TAPESTRY OF INDIAN MUSIC, CRAFTING A SOUND THAT RESONATES WITH BOTH HIS HERITAGE AND HIS GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE.

 

IN A REMARKABLE CULMINATION OF HIS ARTISTIC JOURNEY, RAUDRA HAS RECENTLY UNVEILED HIS FIRST ALBUM, “NAVARASA.” THIS VISIONARY ALBUM EMBARKS ON A SONIC ODYSSEY, DELVING DEEP INTO THE NINE PRIMAL EMOTIONS THAT THREAD THROUGH INDIAN MUSICAL TRADITIONS. GUIDED BY HIS ARTISTIC ALTER EGO, WHICH FITTINGLY MEANS “RAGE,” RAUDRA’S COMPOSITIONS EVOKE A SYMPHONY OF EMOTIONS, TAKING LISTENERS ON A TRANSFORMATIVE RIDE THROUGH THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
