Artist details…...
Rahil Babooram is a singer/ songwriter/musician, living in Trinidad, Caribbean (but Canadian by birth).
He is a one-man band for his recordings [vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, percussion, etc.], but when performing live he either plays alone or gets together a backing band (an example being ‘Rahil Babooram with Come Together’ of which he has had various live lineups of since 2003,
and former incarnations under the name ‘Gaura-Vani’ leading back to 1998).
He has been singing and composing his own songs and recording them since he was 10 but only seriously from age 17
(1996/7) when he recorded his first album’s demo [‘Gaura-Vani’] which was re-recorded in studio in January 1999.
He is currently finishing up recording his 4th album entitled ‘CUATRO’ in studio.
