About Agnel Raj
Agnel was introduced to his first Rock & Roll album when he was 10 years old. It was Petra's "Beat the System" album. Since that day, he fell in love with the drums! When someone from church gave him a pair of sticks, he started hitting pots, pans and anything he found around him. Agnel was 11 years old when he played his first Sunday church service. At the age of 16 was the time when he began taking drums more seriously and became more exposed by playing in youth rallies and concerts with musicians from other churches and youth groups. He has never looked back since.

Agnel was part of the percussion unit for the Levi's "Free To Move" Launch Penang tour. His recording credit thus far includes Acts Church's "Totally You" worship album.

Some of the acclaimed drummers who has greatly influenced Agnel's drumming are Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band) - who is also left-handed like Agnel!, Phil Collins (Genesis), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), and many others.

Agnel particularly likes drummers who have strong grooves as he feels this really helps a good drummer be steady and consistent. This is very important to Agnel because he believes there is nothing like a drummer who plays "in the pocket".

For Agnel, playing drums is a way he shares his gift and passion to people around him. Passion in worship and serving God through the gift of music are the elements that constantly encourages him to go further and higher with Altered Frequency. As Agnel puts it, "The most satisfying moments in playing drums for me is when I see people who attend our gigs really being liberated and worshipping God with their mind, soul, body and strength!"

Agnel Raj is a member of ACTS Church, Subang Jaya and is involved.
