Their music was described as "exotic yet familiar, heavy yet funky, direct yet sophisticated, sensual yet soulful, unrelenting yet cathartic."
The band is known for their hit songs "Do You Call My Name", "Fallen Angels", "Don't Turn Away", and "Broken Hearted Soul".
Skoota Warner was chosen as a drummer who fit in well with the blend of funk and hard rock in Sahaj's writing style.
R&B bassist Kirk Lyons and guitarist Ben Mauro, the latter of whom would later play with Lionel Richie and Britney Spears, completed the initial configuration of the band.
On Edel's dime Ra went into Avatar Studios in NYC with Producer Rupert Hine and engineer Stephen Tayler to record an album.
Within those recordings were "Fallen Rock Zone", "Rectifier", "Sky", "Do You Call My Name" and "Violator" all of which were produced by Sahaj and then later used on 2002s From One after Edel America went out of business.
Sahaj's friend, Will Pendarvis (K-rock NYC, Sirius), introduced him to Hip-hop Producer/Engineer Paul Logus (Puffy, Jennifer Lopez, 112, Notorious BIG, Pantera) with whom the band spent over $170,000 redoing "One" and turning it into "From One".
Its lead single, "Do You Call My Name," reached a peak position of 14 on the Billboard Magazine music charts in early 2003.
With Marlette, Ra recorded "Got Me Goin'", "Take Me Away" and "Say You Will" and submitted these songs to Universal only to receive yet another lukewarm reception.
However, the album sold 80,000 copies on the strength of tracks like "Fallen Angels" and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic", a Police cover.
[6] As of September 17, 2012, Sahaj Ticotin announced that original drummer Skoota Warner would be tracking drums for the new album.
The band worked on their new studio album, Intercorrupted, and premiered the title track as its lead single in October 30, 2020.
The album featured "Enough" with Dustin Bates of Starset and "Nobody Loves You" with Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust doing guest vocals.
GarageBand.com says: "Twisted melodies, polyrhythmic beats, and heavy guitar chords fuse together with middle-eastern motifs, hip-hop, and melodic balladry to make a cohesive visionary statement percolating with emotional fervor.
