Description
This week on Growing up with gal-dem, Charlie and Natty are joined by Sri Lankan musician Priya Ragu, who’s work fuses her Western influences with her South Asian origin and merges intercultural accumulation of traditional rhythms and contemporary r&b and soul. Raised in Switzerland by refugees of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Ragu and her brother, Japhna Gold, were not encouraged to pursue music, however Ragu did it anyway. Priya joins Natty and Charlie to talk through her vision board - our first ever vision board for Growing up with gal-dem! What at the time felt like distant dreams came to fruition for Priya over an incredible year, with vogue features, NPR tiny desk appearances, and record label attention. Through the episode Priya talks to Natty and Charlie about trusting and investing in your dreams, collaborating with friends and family, and balancing international musical success with a day-job in accounting.
