About G.Raj Narayan
 
Raj Narayan hails from a family of musicians and is himself a well known senior flautist of Karnataka State, India. He has been broadcasting classical Carnatic (South Indian) music over the All India Radio and Doordarshan TV since 1969. He is graded 'A' by A.I.R. He won the A.I.R music competition for flute in 1968. Other awards include the "Sur Mani" title from the Sur Singar Samsad of Bombay and the Ananya Award for the best musician at the annual conference of the Karnataka Gana Kala Parishat in 1997 for his achievements as a musician. He also received the "Young Electronics Engineer" award from IMM, New Delhi in 1987 and the Karnataka State Government "Rajyotsava Award" in 1996, for his achievements in the field of electronic musical instruments.

Having learnt to perform both the Carnatic and the Hindustani styles of music, he is fully aware of the intricacies involved in classical Indian music. As a musician, he invented these electronic musical instruments out of necessity to facilitate his own practice sessions. Therefore, he is continuously aware of the needs faced by a musician and uses his own practical observations as well as feedback from users to further improve existing products.

Raj Narayan holds a Masters degree in electronics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. After spending ten years as a designer of aerospace systems, he utilised his knowledge and skills acquired in a high-tech field to set up his own industry to design and manufacture the electronic musical instruments that are used widely all over the world. His designs therefore have reliability, serviceability, miniaturisation, optimal power utilization and ergonomics inherent in them.
