Aaradhna Biography

Aaradhana (Aaradhna) Patel (born: December 1983), is a New Zealand R&B artist previously under the music label Dawn Raid.

Aaradhna first showed singer aspirations at the young age of 12 singing along with her mother to traditional Samoan and country songs. When her father was home she would try to imitate the songs she heard with her dad on Bollywood movies, even though she couldn’t understand what they were saying. Aaradhna began writing her own songs at the age of 13; she entered her first talent quest the same year making it in to the finals. Soon after she joined the school choir at Porirua College and then deciding to take her dream further, she went on to form a five piece girl group called “Lovera”. Her mother is of Samoan descent and her father is Indian.
