Four fast friends… a smorgasbord of ideas, styles and sounds… one dream - Rijk.
Rijk (pronounced Ryk) is the culmination of a commitment to music - a four piece instrumental band starring Rodney Jayaraj, Isaac Dharmakumar, John Praveen and Keba Jeremiah. How did we come to be called Rijk? Because our initials just happen to make up the Dutch word for ‘rich’! But no…. while trying to come up with the perfect moniker for our band, Rodney fiddled around with our names and arrived at the word Rijk (quite an Nsync move, although Rod was completely oblivious to this fact). When we discovered what it meant, we decided to keep it – whoever said quirky and meaningful don’t go together?! Rijk…. is rich. We want to make our music that way – rich in quality, sound and meaning.
