Bio
Born in Geneva to Mauritian parents, Ravi grew up with a dual culture, giving him a rich cultural background and musical sensitivity. He first studied classical piano at the Conservatoire in Geneva (CPMDT) at the age of 8. At the age of 13, he began self-taught guitar with pop punk, then turned to jazz. He soon immersed himself in jazz and improvised music through the AMR in Geneva, where he trained by playing at jam sessions. He had the opportunity to make musical encounters outside Switzerland during a year in England and a few months in Colombia. Through a fascination for odd meters, Ravi draws in his music complex rhythmic patterns submerged in musical fluidity and harmonic sensitivity. Based in Geneva, Ravi is taking part in various projects between Geneva and Lausanne, including his quartet Ravi Ramsahye PROTOTYPE and nn_a_n_y.
Ravi Ramsahye PROTOTYPE
Ravi Ramsahye PROTOTYPE, like an archetype existing in the collective unconscious, symbolizes a model combining experimentation and accessibility. The quartet crafts a progressive jazz merged with pop rock and structured around odd meters. Fruit of an eclectic symbiosis, the band is an exploration and an invitation to the journey of the mind, and of the heart.
Formed in 2020 in Geneva, the band has released one EP in 2022, and will be releasing their first LP « Crépuscules » on March 1st 2024. They have been playing in various places of the local scene (Festival des Cropettes, Cully Jazz Festival, …) and are now on tour for Suisse Diagonales Jazz throughout Switzerland.
