Raashan Ahmad was born in Trenton New Jersey, a small industiral town south of New York city. His earliest memories are of his dad programming and playing mix tapes his friend from New Jersey would send, as well as his records, and acting like a radio announcer. Marvin Gaye, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Miles, Anita Baker and lots of good jazz, funk, and soul.
This would set the foundation and the standard for his own musical taste (and record collection) to flourish. Skip forward for two decades: In 2004 Raashan founded the Crown City Rockers who left their mark on the west coast scene as well as touring in Europe.
In 2008 and 2010 Raashan Ahmad released his first two solo albums featuring artists such as Aloe Blacc setting the groundwork for continious touring all over the globe during the last two years.
