RANI is a singer, songwriter and performer who first came to the attention of the music world through a number of high profile vocal and co-write dance collaborations including Sam Feldt’s “Post Malone”, David Guetta’s – “Get Together”, Faustix’s “Crying In The Sun" and Möwe feat Conor Maynard & RANI’s “Talk to Me”. As evidenced on her 2021 album 396 and this year’s EP, Secret Side, RANI is as much a singer and performer as she is a songwriter with her confidence in the latter honed during a songwriting session in LA with Olaf Blackwood when she was in her late teens. Born Shannon Hilversum, she takes her name from her middle name Sewrani, given to her by her parents in honour of her Surinamese grandmother, Sewrani. “Rani means queen in Hindi and having a name that carries this title and honours my grandmother is my motivation to create music that is heartfelt, that is genuine, and that inspires,” she says.
