]]> Cellist and audio engineer Rafael Kuerti comes from a long line of classical musicians and trainers. His father is Juno-award winning classical Canadian pianist Anton Kuerti. His mother was cellist Kristine Bogyo who founded the Mooredale Youth Orchestras, a small Toronto-based set of three orchestras for children and teen-agers. His training has come from renowned Canadian teachers including John Kadz, Shauna Rolston, Simon Fryer, Mihai Tetel and Kristine Bogyo.

Using his training of cello, music theory and production from a young age, Rafael has been producing hip hop music, often using his cello at live shows, a fan favourite. His group, Babylon Warchild, has been touring worldwide for almost a decade with shows in the US, Canada, China, Malaysia, Korea, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Czech, Slovakia, Netherlands, Belgium, and many more.

He recently released a new video for his upcoming album entitled War Journals. The song is called City of Dreams and features Toronto Hip Hop artist Citizen Kane as well as members of Babylon Warchild.
