The Foundation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nLOS ANGELES, CA \u2014 April 2026<\/strong> \u2014
Some artists arrive trying to be heard. Others arrive already understanding how sound moves.<\/p>\nRaj Will has spent years on the side of understanding.<\/p>\n
As an audio engineer, production manager, and founder of Beyond Average Sound<\/strong>, his work has shaped live and studio experiences for artists including Ne-Yo<\/span><\/span>, Saweetie<\/span><\/span>, Normani<\/span><\/span>, and JPEGMAFIA<\/span><\/span>. He\u2019s also contributed to major touring productions, including time on the road with Mario<\/span><\/span> during Mary J. Blige<\/span><\/span>\u2019s For My Fans<\/em> Tour.<\/p>\nHis r\u00e9sum\u00e9 speaks. But it\u2019s the mindset behind it that separates him.<\/p>\n
Raj doesn\u2019t move off moments.
He builds systems.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nSystems Over Hype<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThere\u2019s a discipline in how Raj approaches sound\u2014measured, intentional, and rooted in clarity. Whether it\u2019s engineering a live set or structuring a session, the goal is never just execution. It\u2019s longevity.<\/p>\n
That philosophy became the foundation for Beyond Average Sound<\/strong>, a platform focused on designing scalable creative systems for artists navigating both the technical and experiential sides of music.<\/p>\nBecause for Raj, sound isn\u2019t just something you create.
It\u2019s something you construct.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nImpact Beyond Music<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nOutside of the studio, the work expands.<\/p>\n
Through his collaboration with the Hip-Hop Education Center, Raj contributed to the development of the K\u201312 Hip-Hop Music Education Guidelines<\/strong>, helping bring structure to a culture that has long driven itself forward.<\/p>\nHe now leads Activating Inner Muse (A.I.M.)<\/strong>, an initiative creating real pathways for underserved youth in arts, media, and entertainment in partnership with The Sola Foundation in South Central Los Angeles. At the same time, he continues shaping industry knowledge through the co-development of a Music Supervision course alongside DJ Paul Stewart.<\/p>\nThis isn\u2019t an extension.
It\u2019s part of the blueprint.<\/p>\n
The Release<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nOn April 20, 2026, Raj Will steps into a new space with the release of his latest record.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t feel like a pivot.
It feels like alignment.<\/p>\n
The same principles that define his engineering\u2014control, restraint, and intention\u2014translate directly into the music. There\u2019s no overreaching. No unnecessary noise. Just a clear understanding of what the moment requires.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not chasing attention.
He\u2019s creating presence.<\/p>\n
