ARJUN is a London-based singer, songwriter and producer of Sri Lankan origin. Although influenced by big US producers such as the Neptunes and Ryan Leslie, Arjun's sound is carved out of UK urban culture: a new-age blend of smooth R&B, Funky House and Garage, all with an Asian twist. His soothing vocals sit alongside instrumentals ranging from organic, guitar-based compositions to ethno-infused, electronic beats. His tracks have been played on radio stations such as BBC 1xtra, BBC West Midlands, Clubasia and DesiHits.
In his short career, Arjun has already supported US superstars such as Jagged Edge and Blackstreet. He has performed at some of London's top clubs, including Sound, the Sports Cafe and Piya Piya, as well as industry hotspots such as Tiffinbites and Club 20. He has also played at numerous festivals, balls and university events around the UK, usually alongside beatboxer and production partner, Nayaab. Between them the two play guitar, piano, bass, drums and flute, on top of singing and beatboxing. They are also winners of the Cambridge Urban Talent Show, hosted by Richard Blackwood and run by DJ Kayper.
Having studied music production at Point Blank Music College, Arjun has written and produced tracks for all kinds of artists, ranging from Grime MC's to Hindi singers to Rock bands. He is currently in the studio working on his own album, which has a planned release date of Summer 2009.
