ABOUT RADHIKA VEKARIA

Radhika Vekaria's journey is a harmonious blend of her diverse cultural heritage and her unwavering passion for music. Named after Radha, the Vedic symbol of love and devotion, Radhika embodies these qualities in her personal and artistic pursuits. Hailing from a rich tapestry of Indian, East African, and British roots, Radhika's music reflects the vibrant mosaic of her upbringing. Influenced profoundly by the strong, free-spirited women in her life—her mother, grandmothers, and her father, a connoisseur of classical Indian music—Radhika's musical odyssey began in infancy.  She wanted to be a doctor, an oncologist with a trajectory to Oxbridge UK (Oxford and Cambridge University).  A turn of events ensured her path to music and since then she has collaborated with an impressive array of artists and producers including Prince, Eddie Palmieri, Enrique Iglesias, Shoshana Bean, Troye Sivan, Lee Ryan, Ferry Corsten, Arman Van Buuren, and Damon Sharpe.

Despite a life long speech impediment, music has became Radhika’s voice. She asserts, “While words struggled, music effortlessly carried them.” After delving into mantra music and vibrational healing sounds, culminating in her album SAPTA: The Seven Ways, Radhika realized its therapeutic power, noting, "Creating this Sanskrit album first healed me, then others.  I was forced to know my true voice and this is the mission of the music I make.  I don't make music for you to see me. I make music for you to see yourself."

Radhika, having performed extensively in Europe and starred in Germany's 'INDIA INDIA', has most recently collaborated in the U.S. with GRAMMY® nominated producer George Landress. Her music celebrates her Indian lineage, blending ancient Sanskrit narratives with modern sonic textures.

In 2021, Radhika garnered attention on Clubhouse with over 100,000 listeners and performed at notable events like Roger Love's conference and SXSW. In 2022, she lent her voice for global causes and collaborated with artists like Jeff Koons, being featured alongside legends like Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney. Today, she's the chosen voice for Chopra Yoga TT, enriching yoga practices with Sanskrit and mantras.

A dedicated supporter of causes like Yoga Gives Back and Art of Living Global events, Radhika has performed for luminaries like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Deepak Chopra, advocating for the transformative power of mantras and ancient Vedic practices.  Most recently, is the launch of musical/visual experience and talk with NASA-JPL. Radhika is the voice of Chopra Yoga and new game based on Deepak Chopra’s laws of manifestation, set to be launched this fall.  She performed at the Sages & Scientists Symposium Harvard for the Chopra Foundation.

​In Fall 2024 Radhika's latest album 'Warriors of Light' garnered a GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant album.
