RADHIKA IYER is an Indian author, violinist, songwriter, session musician and record producer. She writes and produces music released as solo productions under her name and also records for other producers.
Radhika is a proponent of both Indian classical and Western contemporary styles. With an established Indian classical music background, her solo productions exude an extraordinary reification of new aesthetic standards in contemporary music. Elegantly combining eclectic Indian scales and articulations in her compositions, her style embodies a very progressive and novel sounding musical landscape.
Radhika plays an unconventional custom made instrument – A 7-string electric violin, tuned to Western standard tuning. The instrument gives her enormous ability to pull off a Metal riff on it, or a beautiful Bach prelude or the mpregnable gamakas unique to Indian classical music.
