Mumbai: The Hello Group India (THG India), a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment India and global entertainment company announces the signing of Raja Kumari – the Grammy-nominated, AMA – winning Indian – American artist, songwriter, and multidisciplinary performer to an exclusive worldwide management and bookings deal.
An electrifying force in global music, Raja Kumari seamlessly bridges her Telugu heritage and Southern California upbringing through her signature fusion of classical Indian dance rhythms, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Kathak with Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, and Electronic textures. Named a child prodigy by Ravi Shankar and a touring performer by age ten, she has evolved into one of the most vital cultural storytellers of her generation.

As a solo artist, she has delivered breakout anthems like NRI, City Slums, and Peace, amassing over 327 million global streams and 1.7 million monthly Spotify listeners.
Raja has graced some of the world’s most prestigious stages including Coachella, Wireless Festival, and India’s NH7 Weekender becoming the first Indian woman rapper to do so. In a historic moment in 2025, she became the first South Asian artist to win an American Music Award (AMA) for Favorite Soundtrack for Renegade (We Never Run) from Arcane: League of Legends – Season 2. Additional recent achievements include composing Firestorm for the Telugu blockbuster They Call Him OG which soared to #2 globally on YouTube and contributing to Netflix’s upcoming Bads of Bollywood soundtrack. She also founded her independent label Godmother Records.
Now, through her partnership with The Hello Group, an entity built to champion South Asian artists with global potential and powered by THG’s worldwide infrastructure, Raja Kumari is set to unlock the next chapter of her career. With international releases, global touring, and cross cultural collaborations on the horizon, she stands poised to cement her legacy not only as a household name across South Asia but as a pioneering force for South Asian representation in global pop music.
