Influences
India is a land where centuries and millennia have lived. Here is where FOREVER lives. It is this feeling of eternity in the Indian Folk music that is my inspiration. Sounds that speak from the home they live in, sounds that play in the courtyards and reflect off the mud walls. This is my inspiration and my music is a celebration of this inspiration.

Raghu’s music is a seamless amalgamation of Indian ethnic music and sounds from around the world befittingly labeling his music as Indo World Folk Rock. 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. His songs Mysore se aayi, Mumbai, Antaragni, Hey Bhagwan, Har Saans mein, Gudugudiya, Sorutihudu and many more are very popular among his fans.
The Raghu Dixit Project is an open house for musicians, dancers, poets, lyricists and artistes from different genres to come together, collaborate and create a dynamic sound and expression. The Raghu Dixit Project has a constantly evolving sound due to the different musicians collaborating with Raghu Dixit.
The Raghu Dixit Project just released its debut self titled album through Vishal & Shekhar Music and the album is out in stores currently.
