Meet Rinaa Shah, India’s first woman electronic percussionist and DJ, first woman polo player, fashion entrepreneur and shoe designer, all rolled in one.
She established herself as India’s first woman electronic percussionist and electronic drummer and DJ in India and Amsterdam, and is certified as one of the top 10 DJs at the DJ School of Amsterdam. She is a regular name on the Indian party music roster (Played at Dome, Theory, Four Seasons, Arth and more), and has played live with international artists like Jay Sean and Sam Fedlt.
Rinaa’s love for music started early and she completed her Bharatnatyam degree at 14 years and Kathak degree at 19. She incorporated classical melodies into electronic songs and used different instruments to produce varied sounds. “I grew up with classical dance and wanted to revive the classical instruments in my music, so I combined these with tribal music and made it a fusion,” she narrates. Rinaa started as a drummer and percussionist and went on to study her first DJ course in Amsterdam and the advanced course in Ibiza. “I am blessed that I got a chance to play in Amsterdam and Ibiza; I pray that my hard work will take me to the best festivals.”
