   About VIVEK SHRAYA

Vivek Shraya likes to run. Vivek Shraya likes to shake. Vivek Shraya made a record to run and shake to, produced by Meghan Toohey. He calls it If We're Not Talking which is ironic because frankly, Vivek Shraya doesn't shut up.

Vivek Shraya is fluent in English, half-assed in French and brilliant in inappropriate IM discussions. Favorite words include: "HAHAHAHAAHAHA" and "OMG." Vivek Shraya is an English Major. Thankfully, Vivek Shraya does not repeatedly reference himself in the third person on If We're Not Talking.

If We're Not Talking single (featuring remixes by Rodion and Ben Mono) available NOW:

"This artist hails from Toronto & blends indie, dance and pop into infectious little anthems. The haunting vocals sail smoothly over the beat accompanied by twangy guitar riffs. 'Fevered' is sure to remind you of T. Rex… His music sounds like it'd be right at home on Sub Pop or K Records." –MissingToof

"…Vivek Shraya could easily be Canada's next major pop act. The handsome singer combines catchy electro pop with straight up lyrics and traditional songwriting sensibilities that is both sweet and crunchy. Shraya puts out the type of music that is different yet still familiar enough to please the mainstream. Even though the sound of Shraya's music has a strong electro pulse, his music is primarily driven by his soulful voice." –Arjan Writes

"Vivek literally is the best kept secret in electronic pop music and his latest album should finally see him catapulted into the spotlight." -Neu Magazine

"At the core of If We're Not Talking, the new release from Toronto-based Vivek Shraya, is an electro fireball about ready to explode. Perched in a position that borrows the mainstream experimentation of Justin Timberlake and the independent sensibilities of the underground electro scene, Shraya has crafted an album that wastes no time introducing him as a star for the modern age." -1 Hits from Another Planet

"On his latest release, If We're Not Talking, Vivek Shraya has created a sexy ode to electropop that's loaded with catchy choruses that will make your hips shake." -Torontoist

you, along with rachael cantu, just miiiight be my newest musical obsession. and after months of listening to little else than tegan and sara, that's quite an accomplishment.

anyway. your music is greeaaat. keep doing what you do.

muchlove.
peace.
Summer





May 3 2008 3:16 AM

i saw tegan and sara last week and literally ran into rachael cantu. there was someone standing behind her, and i was really hoping that for some reason, it was you. i would have given you a high five and together, we'd go talk to sara..but alas, you weren't there. :(

i'm still waiting for those california shows, sir.

i hope you're well,
summer

Your song, your tune is pulsating-i say.
It was really a fantastic and exhilarating journey with a electro-pop twitch that reverberates through the tracks.
Nice one ;)
