In 2001 he opened and operated a restricted radio service–Mela FM – covering the Manchester, Rochdale and Oldham area for the Manchester Multicultural Mela 2001 – "In this I was responsible for creating revenue,recruiting and training presenters and the promotion of Mela FM at a variety of events across the northern regions" he says. In 2002 Raj was asked to cover the breakfast show on London wide radio station Club Asia.

Raj has a strong belief to constantly learn new skills to make him into a true all round performer. He is an accomplished dancer and has beenpart of Signature, Independance and Spice Entertainment (which he heads).

Raj is keen on acting too and can be seen in a film ‘Ruby and Diamonds’ (2004), a film which was entered and screened at various film festivals around the UK and in ‘Mischief Night’ (2006)

More recently, Raj displayed his versatile dancing abilities in Channel 4 documentary Big Ballet. Beating almost 500 other aspiring ballet contestants, Raj ultimately won a place in the 18 member dance troupe. Raj received much attention and praise for being the only Asian member of the troupe and one of two males.

The three-part documentary saw Raj train under legendary dancer Wayne Sleep, and eventually play the role of heinous villain Baron Von Rothbart in the iconic Ballet, Swan Lake.

The series received global attention, airing in the UK, US and in France. The series is currently available on Netflix in Ireland, UK, Australia and Canada.
