A maestro whose musical roots run deep, inheriting a legacy from his mother, a Gujarati singer, and great-grandmother, one of the first women to grace the stage on her regional All India Radio – Arjav Rawal is no stranger to the symphony of familial melodies. Raised in the East Bay, Arjav’s veins pulse with the beats of alternative and punk rock, but his heart echoes with the soulful notes of Hindustani classical training. What sets Arjav apart is not just his rich cultural heritage, but his ability to seamlessly weave these influences into his music. The story takes an intriguing turn as he takes the keys and synths for Omaha’s only Bollywood cover band, Omkara. Arjav Rawal is a musical storyteller, a sonic architect carving his unique niche in the vast landscape of sound.
In his latest single, “2AM,” Arjav bares his soul with a lyrical journey that echoes the persistent feeling of being out of time to succeed. The pulsating rhythm and pop sensibilities, with a sprinkle of country influences, create a sonic tapestry that transcends genres. The evolution from his debut, “Unfocused,” to “2AM” is a testament to Arjav’s musical odyssey. It’s a poppier, mainstream sound that retains the melodic charm, reflecting an artist unafraid to explore new territories. The fusion of East Bay punk-rock roots with Gujarati and Hindi influences adds layers of complexity, making “2AM” not just a song but a glimpse into the artist’s diverse and ever-evolving musical palette.
