Radjinder blends classic pop/rock with modern studio sounds, drawing inspiration from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and ’70s pop/rock. His often witty, ironic, and personal lyrics create a musical experience that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.

Born in The Hague in 1970 to a Hindustani father and Dutch mother, Erwin Radjinder Angad-Gaur was surrounded by diverse cultural influences. After studying Art and Cultural Sciences in Rotterdam, he launched his music career in 1996 as part of the producers' trio Angad-Gaur, Smit & Anneveldt, working with various artists and bands.

An early pioneer of independent pop/rock in the Netherlands, Radjinder—fronted by singer, composer, and producer Erwin Radjinder Angad-Gaur—debuted with 2002’s Just Another Millionaire, a concept album exploring fame, identity, and the insecurities that come with them in a fame-driven world captivated by superficiality. The following year, the single "Nice & Easy" entered the Dutch MegaTop 100, solidifying Radjinder's place in the music scene. His debut was followed by the DVD Homogeneous and the album The World, highlighting his introspective lyrics and eclectic sound.

After 2008, Erwin shifted focus to prose writing and musicians' rights advocacy, co-founding Platform Makers and working with the Dutch Musicians' Union. In 2020, he returned to songwriting, a.o. collaborating with Dutch lyricist Henk Westbroek for Boris van der Ham’s 2024 single Een Mooie Dag.

In 2024, Erwin is reuniting with past collaborators to create new Radjinder material, with releases set for 2025/2026. To pave the way for this new era, Just Another Millionaire -Re-edited and Remasterd was released in November 2024 on all major streaming platforms. The albumrelease will be followed by the release of remastered singles and previously unreleased tracks. Amongst those: Xmas at all (november 2024), Early in the Morning (february 2025) and So Ambitious for a Juvenile (march 2025).

Acclaimed by the Dutch music press in 2002, Just Another Millionaire explores themes of fame, identity, and meaning—topics even more relevant today than when the album first debuted.
Radjinder’s music continues to resonate as he prepares for the next phase of his career.
