CEBU, Philippines - The name Radha came from a goddess in ancient Indian Folk lore. In this case however, it refers to a young talented singer-songwriter from Manila. Radha believes that singing and performing is what she was born to do, since then it has become her craft, constantly honing her abilities so that she may better express herself.
Performances to her are like great opportunities to learn something new, and she accredits most of what she knows to experience as well as mentoring under the greats, in the form of the radio. With each song she performs of her favorite artists, her distinct vocal style is heard in every verse and chorus making it her very own.
Her most promising break came at the age of fifteen when she joined as lead singer of the internationally acclaimed group called Kulay, who won countless awards in the Philippines and went on an international tour all over the UK, Germany, Italy, and Denmark which put them on the dance charts in local UK radio and Billboard.
In 2001 Radha decided to then embark on a solo career to pursue her own personal musical style. Since then she has won her own fair share of awards and accolades and is widely respected in the local industry as one of the premiere Soul and R&B artists. Radha was the Katha awardee as Best Female Performer of the Year 2002. She has also explored her songwriting by writing for other local artists as well as writing for her own much anticipated solo album.
