TEEN MUSIC TALENT RIDI IS RIDING HIGH

TEENAGE talent Ridi (above) has been getting a lot of love for her new single Merry Go Round, which released last month.

The 18-year-old said the song is authentic to her true self and voice because it combines Indian aspects of her heritage with western pop sounds. She told me: “Merry Go Round explores the circular nature of life and the fact no matter what age we are, no matter what phase of life we are in, what we go through and the difficulties we experience, all come back around in different ways and complexities.”

Ridi has her next song ready and is now looking forward to releasing her debut EP next summer. “I have a lot more songs I’m releasing, all with the Indian vibe mixed into it. Bitchy Bitchy Bang Bang is the next song and for now the title does some of the talking! Eventually, I am thinking of doing live music projects in London, where I am studying engineering. I am so excited to share a piece of my culture with every future song I make and release.”
