Born in the Indian Ocean on the island of Mauritius, Ravin was brought up by a traditional Hindu family. He moved to France as a teenager where he developed his childhood passion: music. He began working in a music shop in Paris, which cultivated his interest in dance music and club culture. This explains his music style; the mixture of the eastern air of his youth with the electronic sound of his new home in Paris.
At the end of the 80s, Ravin become resident DJ at the Rex, Boy and Bains Douches and immersed himself in the exciting high tech wave that would engulf the world.
The opening of the Buddha Bar, Paris in 1997 marked a turning point in Ravin’s music direction. The magical atmosphere of this temple-like place harmonised perfectly with Ravin’s personality and artistic taste. More than decade, while Ravin still remains resident DJ at the Buddha Bar Paris, his growing international reputation has taken him to far off places where he regularly appears in some of the world’s most cuttingedge clubs, also playing at Jean Paul Gauthiers Fashion Show, private parties for Sting or for the most exclusive brands as Bvlgari, Armani, and many more.
While developing a dj career, Ravin isincreasingly interested in the art of remixing and producing, and he’s now solicited as one of the music world’s greatest talents. Ravin has produced many well-known compilation series: BuddhaBar, Siddharta, Fashion TV Club Session, Nirvana Lounge, Clubbing with DJ Ravin also for a collaborated compilation with luxury resort Huvafen Fushi Maldives. He gained a double gold disc as author of Buddha BarIII,VI, VII, IX and the following year released Amnesty International with Frank Nigel to commemorate its 40th anniversary. In November 2009, upcoming collection ?BestofRavin? compiled and mixed by Ravin, will present the most sensational, singular and remarkable vibrations with the spirit of inspirations from his marvelous life of journey all over the past years.
For Ravin, life is music.
