"Love It All. Brilliant!"-Gilles Peterson "Beautiful and Intoxicating.I've completely fallen for this lady.I love it", Michelle Hussey, BBC Introducing "..consistently able to combine new elements & sounds with what is already present to create an incredibly unique record... a musical & paramusical strength that many others could take valuable lessons from, may her own work continue to show those strengths for a long time to come."-7bitArcade "...rare combination of unconventional creativity and the focus to bring it into a successful fruition" -FredPerry Subculture 'the triumphant expression of a unique vision & inimitable sound’ Songlines Magazine "Every so often an artist comes along who stops you in your tracks.Shama Rahman, Renaissance woman extraordinaire" -Songwriting Mag Albums 'Fable:Time' (2014) and upcoming 'Truth BeTold': My albums modernise the Sitar(lineage Pt Ravi Shankar), arranged centrally within layered harmonies, electronic soundscapes & complex grooves to showcase it in different genres and instrumentation. From jazz to dubstep, punk to folk, trip hop to hip hop, swing to bosa nova, my stories start life as poems & take flight as cross-genre songs. Poetic Music filled with energy! Drawing inspiration from Bangladeshi roots, childhood desert landscapes of the Middle East, & colliding with London's vibrant characters, I produce international songs that are original & insightful with an essence of playfulness. Upcoming 'Truth BeTold', is the world's first full live album recorded with wearable tech 'mi.mu gloves'; it was successfully Kickstarter funded & received Help Musicians 'Emerging Excellence Award'. Being the first glove artist-in-residence, I created an immersive performance at the Southbank with dancers, live band & interactive visuals. I have since toured it in Hungary, Korea, and most recently in Antarctica as part of the first ever Antarctic Biennale. 'Fable:Time' was recorded in support by Prokofiev's Non-Classical Studios.
