Austin360 put out a list of bands to see at SXSW in the paper today. I'll cover the ones we have a chance to see. First, as they describe her:
The breakout R&B singer scored a hit last year with “Good Love 2.0,” a woozy ode to romance with a slick club backbeat. She told Hello magazine that the song was inspired by the “love marriage” of her parents, who fled Sri Lanka during civil war in the 1980s. Raised in Switzerland, where she grew up singing in her father’s Tamil band, Ragu is now based in London. She also told the U.K. publication that she wrote many of the songs for her debut mixtape, “damnshestamil,” a smooth selection R&B bops, at the Brooklyn studio of her friend, rapper Oddisee.
It looks like she grew up in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Cool!
She plays Cheer Up Charlie's Wednesday at 5pm.
