Who We Are and What We Are Doing

Are you itching to see how Justin Bieber or Katy Perry can be desi-fied - then this course is perfect for you! This course teaches you the skills to make desi versions of western melodies, and blow everyone's mind! This is important to us because not many people know how cool raga music can be, and we want to create raga superstars around the world.

I'm Mahesh Raghvan, a music producer from Dubai, who loves fusing Indian classical and western music. I run a project called FLAIR - Carnatic Music 2.0. I have done many desi covers of western songs, including the viral hit cover of 'Hello' (Adele). I now want to empower musicians around the world to create their own hit desi covers, and am launching this course in partnership with Raga Labs and many talented musicians to help them get started! 

Raga Labs is a digital arts education portal that brings together thousands of young musicians to learn and perform Indian music. We have produced hundreds of videos by over 500 musicians from across 25 cities in North America and India, and have sparked the curiosity of millions of audiences globally about this genre. Our passion is to take raga music to the world, and we are excited to collaborate with Mahesh to help you all create hit youtube videos!

What We Need & What You Get

We need to raise $1000 to support costs of course production and post-production. 

If you support us now, you get a 50% discount on the course for being an early supporter! In addition, you can also get access to other courses on Raga Labs, and free downloads of premium Raga Labs productions!

If we don't reach our entire goal, we will not be able to support the production of the course, and all your contributions will be returned to you.
