Featuring 18 musicians and collaborations from all across the globe, it's a culmination of Taj's extensive knowledge and deep musicality. It has been mixed by Acoustic Alchemy keyboardist Fred White.

A long time scene player, Taj's list of past collaborators reads like a who's who of the Indian music scene. Amyt Datta, Blackstratblues, NZ songwriter Greg Johnson, Karsh Kale, Fred White from Acoustic Alchemy and Anusheh Anadil are all supporters and fans of his unique and passionate style.

His debut is a masterpiece that is truly engaging on many levels. An appealing and compelling listen, it proves his stance as a powerful force within the Indian music scene. And rightly so, he's been a part of it for over a decade.

"What Colour Is Your Raindrop is a personal photograph of all the sights and sounds that have shaped him. From the gaps between notes of Erik Satie to the wail of Albert King, from the serenity of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan to the innocence of Iranian cinema, this debut album is his journey through all of them."
