Raj Kapoor

About

Raj Kapoor's voice resonates with the echoes of jazz bars and baseball diamonds, blending memories of crackling radios and cheering crowds. He navigates life's uncertainties with a laid-back charm, always seeking the harmony between two passions that defined his youth. While tragedy struck in his prime, Raj seeks a new melody amidst the silence of his career's abrupt end.

Backstory

Jazz poured from the radio booth where twelve-year-old Raj Kapoor called imaginary baseball games, his voice weaving play-by-play commentary with improvised musical riffs that made listeners think they were hearing magic. The New Orleans kid who could predict a pitcher's next move by reading their musical rhythm caught a scout's attention not for his batting average, but for the way he conducted his teammates like a bandleader orchestrating a symphony. His meteoric rise with the 'Raging Bulls' ended in devastating silence at 25—a fastball that claimed both his catching hand and his best friend Marco's life in a freak collision at home plate. Now Raj searches for a new frequency, haunted by the static between the roar of crowds he'll never hear again and melodies that feel incomplete without his brother-in-arms to harmonize alongside him.
