~ Award-Winning Rapper, Raxstar<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cRaxstar is unquestionably a pioneer in desi rap and hip-hop. It\u2019s rare to find an artist who can stay relevant through one of the most unpredictable times in music history. Raxstar connects with different age groups yet still has the swagger and lyrics that relate to an individual as though he has witnessed their personal story.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

~ Yasser, BBC Radio 1<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”28″ force_font_size=”true” size_tablet=”25″ size_phone=”20″ font_weight=”100″ letter_spacing=”1″ margin_top=”5″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”Maven+Pro” font_type=”google” responsive_align=”left”]Bio<\/strong>[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509473762242{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Having collaborated with over 100 artists, British rapper Raxstar has established himself as a household name in desi rap and hip-hop. \u00a0Inspired by the Bollywood and smooth R&B records he grew up listening to, Raxstar broke out onto the desi scene in 2005 with his single \u201cKeep It Undercover\u201d.<\/p>\n

Identifying as a British Asian, Raxstar acknowledges the disconnect between his Indian heritage and British upbringing and uses this to build a musical world his listeners can relate to. He used this perspective to create infamous songs like \u201cJaaneman,\u201d (2011), which garnered over four million views on YouTube and became an international sensation in India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

In 2014, he won the Best Urban Asian Act Award at the Brit Asia TV World Music Awards and was named Eastern Eye\u2019s Best Independent Act.<\/p>\n

Raxstar has collaborated with artists like Zack Knight, Mickey Singh, and Bohemia and Badshah, which has led him to tour all over the U.K. and internationally. His work includes his album\u00a0Lost Ones<\/em>\u00a0(2008), mixed single\u00a0Spring Cleaning<\/em>\u00a0(2010), EP,\u00a0About A Girl<\/em>\u00a0(2011) and album\u00a0Late On Time<\/em>\u00a0(2012) continued to showcase his versatility and lyrical ingenuity. Songs, such as \u201cQueen\u201d (with Zack Knight), \u201cPoison\u201d and \u201cSigns\u201d (with Mickey Singh). \u00a0His latest release \u201cSan Raha\u201d (2017) by T-Series is proving to be another success and has a debut commercial EP set to be released this year as well.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509478920043{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Sun Raha – RaxStar | Shreya Ghoshal<\/b><\/p>\n
