   About Vivek Shraya

Vivek likes to run. Vivek likes to shake. Vivek made a record to run and shake to, produced by Meghan Toohey. He calls it If We're Not Talking which is ironic because frankly, Vivek doesn't shut up.

Vivek is fluent in English, half-assed in French and brilliant in inappropriate IM discussions. Favorite words include: "HAHAHAHAAHAHA" and "OMG." Vivek is an English Major. Thankfully, Vivek does not repeatedly reference himself in the third person on If We're Not Talking.

If We're Not Talking single (featuring remixes by Rodion and Ben Mono) available NOW:

"This artist hails from Toronto & blends indie, dance and pop into infectious little anthems. The haunting vocals sail smoothly over the beat accompanied by twangy guitar riffs. 'Fevered' is sure to remind you of T. Rex… His music sounds like it'd be right at home on Sub Pop or K Records." –MissingToof

"…Vivek Shraya could easily be Canada's next major pop act. The handsome singer combines catchy electro pop with straight up lyrics and traditional songwriting sensibilities that is both sweet and crunchy. Shraya puts out the type of music that is different yet still familiar enough to please the mainstream. Even though the sound of Shraya's music has a strong electro pulse, his music is primarily driven by his soulful voice." –Arjan Writes

"Vivek literally is the best kept secret in electronic pop music and his latest album should finally see him catapulted into the spotlight." -Neu Magazine

"At the core of If We're Not Talking, the new release from Toronto-based Vivek Shraya, is an electro fireball about ready to explode. Perched in a position that borrows the mainstream experimentation of Justin Timberlake and the independent sensibilities of the underground electro scene, Shraya has crafted an album that wastes no time introducing him as a star for the modern age." -1 Hits from Another Planet

"On his latest release, If We're Not Talking, Vivek Shraya has created a sexy ode to electropop that's loaded with catchy choruses that will make your hips shake." -Torontoist

nice work, my friend...i think your latest offerings are fun, but your talent is rather pronounced.

Asides from that, you are totally handsome and disgustingly delicious.

At any rate, congratulations, best wishes, and all sorts of other groovy shit like that.

Vivek, I have to say that the vocals you did for Rachael Cantu's Devil's Thunder are unbelievable. Just like Rachael, you're perfect for the song. It gave me goosebumps and you had a lot to do with it.
Great collaboration.
I wish you the best and hopefully we'll see each other soon.

Take care,

xoxo

Kinda! I only keep MySpace to annoy you guys! Ive pretty much abandoned it for the ever popular (read as addicting) Facebook. That and i'm actually working these days and I dont get to play around online all day. It feels all wrong!

I do hope all is well with you these days.
Anything new and exciting in the works?
Jodi
