Quotes on Ravi:
“It's always a treat to share the podium with RAVI as I know I will be in for an exciting panel discussion. He is knowledgeable and articulate, and possesses that super-rare gift of being both an extraordinarily gifted artist and an astute businessman.
- Panos Panay, Founder & CEO - Sonicbids
"RAVI was a terrific addition to our roster of speakers at NEMO 2003. His ability to focus the content on exactly what the audience wants, as well as convey information from the artist's perspective, enables him to bridge the gap between artistry and business practices in a manner that everyone can easily understand."
- Chip Rives, CEO - NEMO Music Conference and Boston Music Awards
"Our panels shoot straight and still RAVI stands out, which is a big statement in itself. RAVI comes from a place our attendees can understand and speaks in terms that relate to our audience, whether the subject is sponsorship, business of music, or musicianship."
- Mark Willis, Partner - Atlantis Music Conference, Atlanta GA
"RAVI pleasantly surprised us all; the attendees as well as the organizers, with his charm, eloquence and down-to-earth attitude. As a Panelist, he was top-flight, demonstrating knowledge and acumen that only comes from a wealth of experience. We all hope he will once again augment our event with an appearance at IMC2004!
- Noel Ramos, Executive Director - Independent Music Conference, Philadelphia PA
"Songwriter, guitarist, writer and music business entrepreneur, RAVI is one of those unique artists who can express his creativity through his own art, and also speak eloquently about the business behind the art. His lectures are engaging, his leadership as a panel moderator at conferences is insightful and conscientious. He maintains an uncanny awareness of his audience, always presenting the information in an interesting, accessible, clear fashion - educating and inspiring."
