About Raja Kumari
Raja Kumari is the stage name of Svetha Rao, who was born in Claremont, California, to Indian parents and trained from childhood in classical Indian dance. She spent years writing songs for other artists before stepping forward as a performer.
Her own records set rap verses and pop hooks against Indian instrumentation and vocal ornament, with lyrics that return often to heritage and identity. The EP 'The Come Up' and the later 'Bloodline' collected that work. She has also become a regular presence in Mumbai's hip-hop scene, collaborating with rapper Divine on 'City Slums'.
