Rakesh Rafukiya: The LoFi Visionary Redefining India’s Music Scene
In a world where music often moves at lightning speed, few artists manage to slow it down, capture its essence, and make it timeless. Among this rare breed is Rakesh Rafukiya, a Mumbai-based music producer born on 4th January 2003, who has quickly become one of India’s most promising names in the LoFi genre. Known for his soulful, immersive soundscapes, Rakesh has turned everyday moments into meditative listening experiences, bringing solace to millions of ears across the globe.
The Beginning of a Musical Journey
For Rakesh, music became more than just a passion in 2020, a year when the world collectively sought refuge in art. Initially rejuvenated by the Hip-Hop scene, he began producing beats that resonated with urban rhythms and street culture. But as his artistry matured, he found his true voice in LoFi — a genre that allows emotions to breathe through minimalistic yet profoundly moving arrangements. This evolution marked the start of his journey as a LoFi music creator, and it wasn’t long before his name began appearing alongside India’s biggest labels.
Breakthrough Collaborations and Viral Hits
Rakesh’s rise is marked by notable collaborations with Saregama Music and Geet MP3, two powerhouses of the Indian music industry. His Shri Ram Janki Remix, which garnered over 6.5 million streams on Spotify, remains a defining moment in his career, setting a benchmark for devotional tracks reimagined through the LoFi lens. Similarly, his work on the LoFi version of Armaan Bedil’s “Praise” showcased his ability to transform mainstream hits into soulful reinterpretations.
What makes Rakesh’s music stand out is its viral impact. His LoFi remakes have taken social media by storm, racking up millions of plays and reels. Some of his most loved works include:
- Company by Emiway Bantai – Over 1 million Instagram reels
- Kahani Suno – A staggering 12 million Spotify streams.
- Long Time No See – Crossed 2 million Spotify streams.
- Sairat beat remake – Over 100K Spotify streams and 105K reels.
These numbers not only highlight his artistry but also his ability to resonate with digital-first audiences who crave both nostalgia and innovation in music.

At just 22, Rakesh has already built a strong global footprint.

His songs are available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, JioSaavn, Wynk, Hungama, Gaana, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and more, ensuring his sound travels far beyond geographical borders.
This multi-platform accessibility, combined with his consistency in creating meaningful tracks, has cemented his position as one of India’s fastest-rising independent artists.
A Unique Blend of Hip-Hop and LoFi
What makes Rakesh Rafukiya different is his ability to blend his Hip-Hop roots with the soothing vibes of LoFi. Where Hip-Hop brings rhythm and rawness, LoFi brings serenity and introspection. Together, these worlds form the backbone of his identity as a producer, creating music that is both modern and timeless. His tracks often feel like conversations — subtle, personal, and deeply immersive.
Spreading Blissful Vibes, One Track at a Time
For Rakesh, music isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about emotion, healing, and connection.
