Profile
About Roach Killa
Roach Killa, real name Rehan Shaikh, was raised in Toronto and began making music in the 1990s. His career took off in the mid 2000s after he moved to the UK and connected with the British Asian scene.
His album Revolution featured collaborations with Apache Indian and Spragga Benz, and his single Yaara Dildaara reached number one on the BBC Asian Network chart in 2009, the first rap track to do so. He followed it with Ghora, Oh Girl, which went to number one on iTunes, and Dil De De with Garry Sandhu. He has since toured widely across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Roach Killa suits an event where the crowd grew up on British Asian hip hop and bhangra crossovers. He adds real energy to an after party or birthday and connects well with an audience that knows his songs.
