	Musicians - Raja Ram

Raja Ram is a musician and the owner of the UK record label TIP World. He was born Ronald Rothfield in 1941 in Melbourne, Australia. Raja Ram left Australia in the 1950s to begin the hippie trail. He returned to Australia later and studied flute at the Melbourne Conservatory. Raja Ram also went to New York in 1965 to study jazz. He was a member of the band Quintessence in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Shortly after, Raja Ram was forced to retire for personal reasons and became an envelope salesman. In the 1980s, he decided to return to the music scene as he now became interested in the emerging genre of electronic music. He was one of the first people to make what is today considered psychedelic trance.

Raja Ram formed TIP Records in 1994 with Graham Wood. Today it is one of the most well-known psychedelic trance music labels. He collaborated with Simon Posford on the Shpongle project and is a founder of 1200 Micrograms. He often plays the flute on ambient tracks.

Raja Ram has a daughter, Sastra.
