Just a music producer artist guy who loves steamed vegetables and is mostly blind in one eye. Here's my story.

In the 2020 clusterduck-shmitstorm, I quit my corporate job and moved from the Toronto area to Vancouver Island with my wife and two cats where I'd write and record the first Calm Canopy singles (, , , ) in a makeshift bedroom studio, which were all released over the span of a few months.

2021: the new songs made their way into new ears via various Spotify editorial playlists such as Indie All Stars, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Rock, Fresh Finds: Indie, Fresh Finds: Pop, RADAR Canada, New Music Friday Canada, undercurrents, and Ready to Rock. I was floored. I felt like dancing; I did. I enjoyed a square of the darkest chocolate I could find. Then I got back to work.

Today, I continue to produce my indie rock/pop anthems of inner discovery from my home studio in a small town located West of Toronto. 🇨🇦 Thank you for lending me your ears.

I am called the “The Official Christian Rapper, Mr. Raj.

Welcome! 

I do have multiple type of songs that expresses a timeline of my life before the start of the pandemic and to the present. 

I am an original who writes his songs and records them with the catchiest beats in the modern era. 

I talk about multiple raw and down to earth personal issues such as sin, ocd, intrusive thoughts, joy, anger and sadness just to name a few. The rest you’ll have to find out in the songs. 

I’ll wrap it up here and keep it short…

I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world whom supports my music and is my number one fan. Every new fan I get there after will be a blessing and honor as I believe it may help you think about your reflection in the mirror. 

Prepare for an unexpected journey. 

Mr. Raj
