Aaradhna

aka Aaradhna Patel


Since the early 2000s, Aaradhna Jayantilal Patel – the Indian-Samoan singer, songwriter, and producer who records and performs simply as Aaradhna – has become one of New Zealand’s most loved R&B and soul artists.

From playing a central role in the rise of South Auckland’s Dawn Raid Entertainment to speaking truth to power at the 2016 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards, Aaradhna’s talent and accomplishments have firmly etched her name within our history books. And having received a Grammy nomination for best reggae album in 2017 for her songwriting work on Samoan singer J Boog’s Wash House Ting album, she continues to move ever closer to doing the same within the annals of popular music worldwide.
