Rajeev Arora

The fifty-year creative life

Composer · Lyricist · Broadcaster · Poet · Author

Rajeev Arora has been telling stories to an audience since 1992 — first on air, now in music. A BITS Pilani engineering graduate, he carried a parallel creative life through a forty-year technology career, writing poetry in Hindi across five decades.

In 2025 the technologist and the artist became one practice. He released his first album of AI-composed music, then presented the first fully-AI-music program on community radio — not as a novelty, but as a new instrument in a craftsman's hands. The words are still written. The judgement is still human.
