Sahaj was born to a Puerto Rican mother and a Russian-Jewish father, the brother of motion picture and television actress, Rachel Ticotin. During a pilgrimage to India in 1992, he studied meditation and was given the name "Sahaj". He currently lives in Woodland Hills, California, where he produces and composes for various artists. Associated acts are Ra, Motley Crue, STΛRSΞT, Meytal, New Years Day, Stitched Up heart, Otherwise, Texas Hippie Coalition, September Mourning, Lajon Witherspoon, Diamante, Tommy Vext and many others...

Sahaj held the record for longest single note, for a male vocalist, in a song, having held a high B for 24 seconds. He was overtaken by Jan Werner Danielsen of Norway with 28 seconds in his live version of Nella Fantasia. This record breaker can be heard on Ra's live album, Raw, on the track "Skorn". Sahaj Ticotin overtook the previous record of 20.2 seconds which was held by Morten Harket, the lead singer of A-ha, in the song, "Summer Moved On".
