Raghav Meattle

About

Raghav Meattle is the Mumbai-based singer-songwriter who has quietly become one of India’s most compelling indie-folk voices. With a sound that blends introspective lyricism, acoustic warmth, and a touch of jazz-inflected sophistication, Meattle crafts songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. Drawing inspiration from artists like John Mayer, Damien Rice, and Norah Jones, his music is a delicate balance of vulnerability and polish, often exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Meattle first gained attention with his 2018 debut EP *Songs from a Matchbox*, a collection of stripped-down, heartfelt tracks that showcased his knack for storytelling and melodic finesse. His breakthrough single, “Riptide,” became an anthem for a generation navigating the complexities of modern relationships. Since then, he has steadily built a loyal fanbase, performing at major festivals like NH7 Weekender and collaborating with artists like Prateek Kuhad and Ankur Tewari. What sets Meattle apart is his ability to create intimacy in both his recordings and live performances, often accompanied by just his guitar and a loop pedal. His 2022 album *Tumhara* further cemented his reputation as a master of emotional nuance, blending Hindi and English lyrics with effortless grace. Currently, Meattle is working on new material that promises to push his sound further, experimenting with richer production and broader sonic textures. As he continues to evolve, Raghav Meattle remains a beacon of authenticity in India’s burgeoning indie music scene.
