MUMBAI: Morethanay’s moniker itself tells the story of the artist. Rahul Singh’s journey of creating music is based on a deep and very personal process that began with self-reflection which he articulated through writing- towards finding something More Than Ray.
The Canadian-bred and now New Delhi-based Rap/Hip-Hop artist developed a strong connection to Rap/Hip-Hop at a very early age and was already writing rhymes as a teen, while growing up in Montreal. Mindful of the importance of “finding his niche”, and being “unapologetically authentic”, Rahul took his sweet time in releasing his music to the world after writing and recording it.
Rahul, eventually released his debut single titled Gone in July 2019, followed by Vibes in July 2020.

His latest single titled Lost, is in a way an extension of the narrative — of self-actualization — that he began his journey with. “Lost is an exploration of moving on from losses without losing yourself. It is a testament to how mindset is everything, and that you need to stay true to yourself, tune out your naysayers, and continue to defy the odds until the point that everyone begins to trust in your vision. My approach and emotion or feel behind the music are intertwined.”
Rahul/Ray has teamed up with his favourite producer ICONYK (Nikhil Malik) again for this Hip-Hop/Rap number, like his previous releases Lost packs in witty wordplay and pop-culture references along with Ray’s ongoing pursuit towards self-reflection and authenticity.
His international sensibilities coupled with his fervent desire to stay true to his articulation of the genre – without being swayed by the ‘running formulas’ closer home or abroad – have surely placed him in the list of artists to watch out for.
