Biography Ravi Ramsahye PROTOTYPE
Ravi Ramsahye
Born in Geneva to Mauritian parents, Ravi grew up with a dual culture, giving him a rich cultural background and musical sensitivity. He first studied classical piano at the Conservatoire in Geneva (CPMDT) at the age of 8. At the age of 13, he began self-taught guitar with pop punk, then turned to jazz. He soon immersed himself in jazz and improvised music through the AMR in Geneva, where he trained by playing at jam sessions. He had the opportunity to make musical encounters outside Switzerland during a year in England and a few months in Colombia. Through a fascination for odd meters, Ravi draws in his music complex rhythmic patterns submerged in dream-like harmonies and memorable melodies. He obtained a Master’s degree in Jazz Pedagogy at the HEMU (Lausanne) in 2024, where he studied with Vinz Vonlanthen, Sylvain Luc, Nelson Veras and Emil Spanyi.
For the past six years, the guitarist has been leading and composing for his progressive jazz/rock quartet Ravi Ramsahye PROTOTYPE. Their new album, Sunglint, will be released on February 13th, 2026 on the German label Neuklang.
