- About Me:
- Hey all!
Raja Burrows here. I'm 21 years old and a Senior Vocal Performance and Spanish major at Northwestern University, and I'm also one of the hosts of "Introductions." I'm originally from Albuquerque, NM, and I secretly aspire to be the next big pop sensation. Actually that's a lie: it's not a secret at all. I have an equal passion for classical music and pop music and I think that each one could learn a thing or three from the other.
What's that? Hobbies? Well, between my classes, singing obligations, and my lavish, bi-coastal social life, it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for "hobbies." But in my free time, I like to read, write in my blog, and currently, "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" is kind of rocking my world. Oh yeah, at one point I was a professional "Magic: the Gathering" player. No really. Look at the final standings from Pro Tour: Los Angeles and you'll see my name right next to 272nd place.
Oh yeah, I also live on Facebook. Literally. So come be my friend!

Thnks fr th Mmrs: a Fond Look Back
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '08,
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now.
For this post-show blog, I'm gonna kick off the discussion this week talking about what I miss from my high school ensemble. Why do I feel entitled to effuse my wealth of… Continue

Show #1 is Dunzo!
Hey all,
We're off to the races! The first show went swimmingly and it was super-duper fun to boot. Yes, I did just say "super-duper." In any case, for this first post-show blog, I thought I'd talk about what all went into preparing for the first show. I thought about to most accurately describe it and the best analogy I can come up with is likening this first week to being fired out of a cannon.
Step One: Gathering the Materials
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and even Thursday were pretty uneve… Continue

Hi From One of the Hosts!
Hey Guys!
Raja Burrows here. I'm 21 years old and a Senior Vocal Performance and Spanish major at Northwestern University, and I'm also one of the hosts of "Introductions." I'm ridonkulously excited about this show and I have full confidence that if Ryan Seacrest's "American Top 40" radio show aired at 11AM on Saturdays, he would have zero listeners because everybody in the world is going to be listening to "Introductions." Literally, everybody.
In any case, I've posted the info from my profil… Continue
