Rajamani is certainly a rare breed. When most artists spend their lifetime mastering one style of music or instrument, Rajamani is comfortable with many. Indian, Middle Eastern, and Gypsy music from percussion instruments to strings to voice and composition have come to him with much ease.

Hailing from India, Rajamani has the magic and spirit of the Indian music and the fire and passion of the Gypsy music in his blood and it flows naturally out of him as one can see at his live shows.

Born in India, Oliver Rajamani grew up in a family that loved music and dance. He began performing informally at the age of four, and was encouraged early on to develop his natural gifts in music. Over the years, Rajamani studied classical and contemporary music, often in unique settings. Oliver studied tabla and mirdhangam at a early age. His most recent tabla guru was the internationally renowned Pandit Aloke Dutta. Rajamani was exposed to Tamil folk music and trance music, ancient frame drumming (Tappu) of the Dravidian culture of south India from a very early age. He was also exposed to Tamil christian songs, as well as studied western classical music, performed in many jazz and rock bands while attending Kodaikanal international school in South India.

Rajamani also learned flamenco guitar from spending time around flamenco masters and Roma Gypsy flamencos. He learned by first playing cajon and mastering the rhythmic base of flamenco and later playing the guitar and learning the raw melodic base to flamenco. Rajamani's vocal skills came naturally also by growing up in India around beautiful songs and singers in the family and also being around Middle Eastern and Gypsy singers. He has studied classical Indian voice from Snigdha Mishra.

Rajamani has done extensive traveling in Greece and Israel studying the Roma Gypsy communities and their music as well as Greek and Arabic music. He has also worked in the Romani Congress (U.N. Representation for the Roma Gypsy's).  

Rajamani performs on these instruments: sarod (Indian lute); oud; dumbek; deff; cajon; flamenco guitar; rubab; tabla; and various other Indian folk instruments in addition to his extraordinary vocals.

Rajamani has performed and recorded with internationally known artists such as Glen Velez, Gypsy Kings,Lara and Reyes, Arthur Brown (the God of Hell Fire), Aloke Dutta and many other  traditional world music, folk, rock n roll, andcountry artists. He has given musical accompaniment for great poets and story tellers such as Coleman Barks, Robert Bly and David Whyte on stage.  He has also performed for the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Gaj Singh II and has been interviewed by the BBC World-NPR radio station with Steven Cuves. In Austin Texas, Rajamani performs with the “Cowbos and Indians” led by Bob Livingston, “CO2” and “Circle of Light” led by Tina Marsh, and Anuradha Naimpalli, amongst many other projects.
