He listened to music that was indigenous to Assamese and Punjabi culture.
His musical journey has been quite hectic. He went on to work in a number of albums and music videos with various leading singers, besides doing concerts and live events. Over the years, Rajveer has been contributing to both Punjabi and Assamese music.
