Raj Ramayya is an Indo-Canadian singer, songwriter, composer, and producer born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada, with family roots in Central India. He spent half his life in Tokyo, Japan, kicking off his career as a session singer for TV commercials, video games like Resident Evil and Rythmnia, and iconic anime such as Cowboy Bebop (where he re-recorded "The Real Folk Blues" for a COVID relief tribute that raised over $50K), Ghost in the Shell, and more. Along the way, he's collaborated with heavy hitters like Yoko Kanno, Duran Duran, Mos Def, and Tatsuya Oe, racked up 250+ commercial credits for brands like Toyota and Asahi Beer, and dropped 26 albums with Billboard and iTunes hits.

These days, Raj splits time between spots like Japan and Canada, teaching music production, running his Strawberry Hill Music studio, and touring with his band Raj & The Zen Masters—covering anime and game bangers from Naruto to Final Fantasy at conventions worldwide. His latest vibes include the 2025 album **Spice Oddity** (feat. tracks like **Pani**, **Icicles and Indians**, **Man from Hindustan**), plus recent drops like **Encrypted Code Reality** and **MC Swami – A Psychedelic Discourse**, blending electronic, Indian fusion, and psychedelic sounds.
