Aaradhna

aka Aaradhna Patel


Aaradhna Jayantilal Patel burst onto the Australasian music scene in 2004 when her vocals featured alongside the R&B sibling duo Adeaze on their platinum hit single, ‘Getting Stronger’. In the years since, Aaradhna has repeatedly proved her mettle in the studio and on stage, affirming her status as one of New Zealand’s most beloved modern R&B and soul artists.

During the first major arc of her professional recording and performance career, Aaradhna played a central role in the first rise and second coming of South Auckland’s storied Dawn Raid Entertainment hip-hop/R&B record label. This run culminated in an electrifying moment when she spoke truth to power at the 2016 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards before pulling the pin and rebooting herself as an independent artist.
