Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. ................ .. Ranidu Lankage is the undisputed icon of Sinhalese RnB and hip hop who has captured the imagination of the Sri Lankan masses with his breathtaking voice and enigmatic compositions. He is also the individual who has single handedly taken the genre of Sinhalese RnB/ pop to new and never before seen heights in the international arena. Ranidu is the first Sinhalese artist to be played on the venerated Radio1 of the BBC and also the creator of the first Sinhalese single to be played on MTV, channel V and Z music India. .. ........ .. .. In the past four years Ranidu has produced an incessant array of hits that has revolutionized the Sri Lankan music industry and has left his competition behind in a cloud of dust. Lankage's first single Oba magemai set the standard in new age Sinhalese pop and became an instant hit on the radio charts scoring no1's on all Sinhalese radio and Video charts which included Hiru top 40, Rasa risi gee, Sithgath gee etc . With the release of the album Oba magemai in 2003 Ranidu also became the youngest Sri Lankan artist to be signed by an international record label. (Sony music India). Ranidu followed the success of his first single with 4 top 20 hits, namely Obe ath allagena, Sinasenna, Kandulen midee and Sadaa. Although the album became wildly popular and was one of the top selling albums in Sri Lanka, Ranidu was not going to stop there. He went back in the studio in the summer of 2003 to create one of the masterpieces of New age Sri Lankan music, namely, the album "Diviyapura/ All my life" which included the monster hit "Ahankara Nagare"..... ...... .. .. Being a true musician committed to his art Ranidu has kept his hunger for improving himself and creating better music going. His self titled 3rd album may once again push the musical envelope and revolutionize Sri Lankan music especially through the introduction of Sinhalese Neo Soul,Asian hip hop and reggae music. It is also the first time that Sri Lankan music has been blended with American and Caribbean style Rap. Ranidu sang all the vocals on this album and produced all his tracks. This once again showcases how amazingly talented this young artist is in all aspects of the music industry. Ranidu is collaborating with many artists on this album including Iraj, West coast Rapper DeLon, Anson of the DID Crew from Trinidad, Holee Smokez and the MDT crew from New York, Yohan Rakapakse, Yauwanan, Ranga D (The god) and many more. A song from the 3rd album, dubbed "Herde Keniththuwa" produced by iraj, was the theme for the movie Anjalika which, was released in April of 2006. The first official single Paa salamba sala- ft Anson was released on Radio1 and BBC Asian network in December 2006 and was the first Sinhalese single to be on the “A” list of the Asian network. Lyrics for the album were provided by the usual suspects Bandula Nanayakkarawasam, Chanaka Jayasekera, Kelum Shreemal, Vasantha Dukgannarala and a childhood friend of Ranidu’s Anuradha Uduwage. Ranidu along with Iraj and the crew are planning a tour of the US, Canada, Australia, Dubai, Cyprus and the UK... .. .. .. ...... ........ ............ ........ .......... .. .. .. .. .. ....
