She was born and raised in Switzerland following her parents’ escape from the Sri Lankan civil war in the early eighties. As she grew older, the Swiss and Sri Lankan cultures began to clash. Although they are now fully supportive of their daughter, Priya’s parents were initially strict, she wasn’t encouraged to listen to Western music or hang out at the mall after school. However, her musical ambitions soon began to take root. At the age of 16, she performed Alicia Keys’ ‘Fallin’’ to her brother, who insisted she perform at a show he was doing with his rap group. Her father discovered their plans and stopped her from performing, but Priya wasn’t deterred. She instead made her ambitions more covert, sneaking out to jam sessions and open mic nights, before decided to fully pursue her ambitions by moving to America with the help of her friend, the rapper Oddisee. Working remotely with Japhna, the pair created several tracks which would provide the launchpad for where she is today. ‘damnshestamil’ Priya Ragu’s debut mixtape is a result of her highly productive creative partnership with her producer and brother Japhna Gold, featuring all Priya’s singles to date, including the international sensation ‘Chicken Lemon Rice’, ‘Good Love 2.0’, ‘Forgot About’ as well as her most recent single ‘Kamali’ which launched with a BBC Radio 1 ‘first play’ – with Annie Mac, and most recently A-Listed with the BBC Asian Network – showing no signs of slowing down. Priya has coined the term ‘Raguwavy’ for her vibrant sound which defies standard genre definitions. It signposts the next era of forward-thinking R&B and electro-pop by tapping into the sonic accents of her Sri Lankan roots. The current single ‘Kamali’ was inspired by a short BAFTA nominated film of the same name. It explores the story of Suganthi a single mother living in a small village in India, who was raised in a culture in which gender roles are clearly structured and as a result she stayed at home until she was old enough to marry. Suffering through abuse– she escaped to create a better future for herself and her daughter – Kamali. Musically and visually Priya connected to the story of Kamali and brought her world to life through song, placing emphasis on the important of motherhood and the circle of life. As the road to the mixtape approaches – Priya fulfilled a lifetime ambition when she played a sold-out show as part of the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Later Latitude Festival in July, and scheduled to perform at All Points East in August, where she begins to peel back the layers of her first body of work, to a live audience. She will end the year on a high by embarking upon her long awaited debut UK & European headline tour. Consisting of nine shows spanning six countries, the tour includes a London show at the Jazz Café which is now sold out and will culminate with a homecoming show in Zurich a week later. “Priya Ragu, a star in the making, Annie Mac and I are utterly obsessive around her music right now” – JACK SAUNDERS “One of my favourites, I scream about her on the show all the time” – REBECCA JUDD “I just feel like she’s in a lane of her own, she’s got this amazing R&B voice!” – JASMINE TAKHAR “How beautiful is her voice” – ANNIE MAC “Swiss-Tamil trailblazer, Priya Ragu infuses her electro-pop template with a global span” – CLASH “Priya Ragu’s music sounds like a new generation of Tamil diaspora connecting music traditions to mass appeal pop” – DAZED “Blending soulful melodies and pop sentimentalities with South India influences of their Sri Lankan heritage. Priya Ragu, and her bother Japhna Gold have brewed a sound wholly their own” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT Artist Priya Ragu Genre Rock And Pop Label Warner Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Leaf High Good Love 2.0 Lockdown Lighthouse Anything Chicken Lemon Rice Deli Kamali Forgot About Santhosam (Bonus Track) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Priya Ragu and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Priya Ragu Santhosam Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £28.00 - £30.00 Select options Priya Ragu Santhosam £28.00 - £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Sharon Van Etten Epic Ten Rock And Pop | Ba Da Bing | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th June 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sharon Van Etten Epic Ten £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ba Da Bing SKU: BING167UK Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yann Tiersen 11 5 18 2 5 18 Rock And Pop | Mute | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Etched, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th September 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yann Tiersen 11 5 18 2 5 18 £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: STUMM478 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Etched, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sufjan Stevens All Delighted People EP Rock And Pop | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st December 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sufjan Stevens All Delighted People EP £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR075LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st December 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frank Zappa The Mothers Of Invention One Size Fits All Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 12th October 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa The Mothers Of Invention One Size Fits All £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 0238531 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Einstürzende Neubauten Greatest Hits Rock And Pop | Potomak | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th November 2016 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Einstürzende Neubauten Greatest Hits £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Potomak SKU: 133951 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hollies, The Here I Go Again – Mono Rock And Pop | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd September 2010 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hollies, The Here I Go Again – Mono £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5350 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Country Communion BCCIV (limited edition) Metal / Classic Rock | Mascot | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 20th September 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Country Communion BCCIV (limited edition) £24.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Mascot SKU: 0819873015567 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mariachi El Bronx Mariachi El Bronx (II) Rock And Pop | Wichita | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 8th September 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mariachi El Bronx Mariachi El Bronx (II) £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wichita SKU: WEBB312LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ride Going Blank Again Rock And Pop | Wichita | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th November 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ride Going Blank Again £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wichita SKU: WEBB573LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View serpentwithfeet Grip Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th March 2024 £28.00 - £29.00 Select options serpentwithfeet Grip £28.00 - £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th March 2024 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
