We did an interview with the lovely up and coming artists Rajiv! Here's what he had to say...
Hi Rajiv, before we get started, tell us a bit about you...
I'm Rajiv, and I am a pop/R&B singer-songwriter from the borders of Essex and London.
We love a bit of R&B! So Rajiv, who is you're biggest inspiration?
There isn't one particular person who inspires me, but more so those who are in the same boat as myself. There's a lot of time, effort and money that goes into being an artist/producer/songwriter etc, with the massive risk of nothing being guaranteed. I am very fortune to have a small team, friends and family around me who believe in what I am doing and it is people like them who give me the inspiration to continue to go for my dream.
That's very sweet! What would you say is the best thing that you have achieved in your life so far?
All the songs, performances and music videos that I have done. Music is my passion, and all the products of the hard work that I, and the people that I work with, have to show is by far my proudest achievement. I love it.
You, and the others around you must feel very proud of you! So, here's a tricky question! ;) Do you like Tea or coffee? (Ooo...)
Depends, how do you like your eggs in the morning? ;) haha, just kidding. Tea - Strong with a splash of milk. Coffee - milk, no sugar.
Ladies and gentlemen, not only can Rajiv sing beautifully, but he can also crack a joke or two... (Excuse the pun...) What has been the most memorable moment in your life so far?
So far it would be performing on a stage in the middle of the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia in front of thousands of people.
That sounds amazing! So, if you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
Having recently watched a film on Bob Marley, I would love to have had the opportunity to work with him, The power he had through his music really blew my mind.
We love a bit of Bob Marley, we do! So, what do you call your fans?
I haven't really got a name for them as of yet. There was a brief time where they were called the 'Chasers' as it was when I released my single 'Catch Me If You Can'.
We're sure that in no time at all, your fanbase will be growing quickly! So, can you play any instruments? If yes, what?
I can. I had lessons on the piano up to grade 4, and now I just play by ear. I also play the guitar, but that's self taught.
You'll have to teach us how to play! Haha! So, when did you discover you could sing?
Oh, I think I started singing before I could hold proper conversations as a child haha! I never stopped though, so I guess that's why I am doing what I do now.
WOW! You were one talented kid! So, last but not least, who is your hero?
My Ma. I swear all mothers are super women, because of all the things they do for kids and family, and the ridiculous lengths and efforts they go to achieve it.
Aw, that's so sweet! Thank you for letting us interview you!
