Rajeev B

"For me, it's not about people remembering my name - but remembering that the DJ they heard last night was sick.." Rajeev Bhardwaj, also know on the DJ circuit as Rajeev B, began his musical journey in his childhood years growing up in West London As a youngster, Rajeev B practised the art of playing Dholki and would often get into trouble at school and home for tapping away on tables creating beats, mixing one classic song with another. With his early musical influences consisting of the likes of Bally Sagoo, Apache Indian and Michael Jackson, Rajeev B began tapping away beats, remixing them in his head to other classic tunes. Before even touching a turntable for the first time, Rajeev had already began mastering the art of mixing, which would serve him well in his career to date. Beginning as a bedroom DJ and playing small gigs in the local area, Rajeev was already mixing his Punjabi background with his urban music taste. At first, Rajeev was hesitant to begin playing in clubs and parties - but was soon persuaded by close friends to get out the bedroom and perform for crowds. The buzz of entertaining others propelled Rajeev and motivated him to continue his passion. He begun playing out to increasingly larger crowds in the UK wedding scene, gaining popularity and a reputation along the way. The wedding scene couldn’t fulfil Rajeev's passion for other music, which resulted in Rajeev DJ'ing in some of London’s hottest nightspots, giving clubbers a different DJ altogether.
