My first concert ever was when I was 16 at the O2 Arena.
I went to see Justin Bieber, standing in the crowd, looking at that huge stage and dreaming that maybe one day I’d be the one standing there.
💫
And tomorrow, I can’t believe I’m saying this, it’s happening.
I’ll be performing my single Exotic on that same stage with the legendary A R Rahman.
Dreams don’t just happen overnight, they grow inside you, fueled by passion, persistence, and a little bit of magic. 🙏
London, see you tomorrow. Let’s fill the O2 with Exotic vibes. 💫

For Your GRAMMY® Consideration 💫
Best Global Music Performance
Performing Exotic has been one of the greatest honors of my life, written and composed by the incredible Diane Warren, produced by the legendary A. R. Rahman.
This song is about unity and love across cultures, and I’m proud to carry its message with my voice! Thank you for listening and considering Exotic 🩷

#ELLECulture: What makes a song a hit? Is it the melody that lingers long after the last note, the words that carve themselves into memory, or the voice that feels like it’s singing only to you? More often than not, it’s an alchemy of all three, and when the right people come together, that spark turns into something unforgettable. That’s the magic of ‘Exotic’ — a rare collision of worlds in a single song. Three artists, each from a different universe, converging in melody. The screen flickered, and there they were: A. R. Rahman, the Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer whose music has scored the soundtrack of our lives; Diane Warren, the Emmy- and Grammy-winning songwriter, graced with an honorary Oscar, two Golden Globes, and a lifetime of songs that etch love into memory; and RIKA, the rising British-Indian voice, carrying the luminous promise of tomorrow.

AR Rahman, Music
In times when the world often feels divided, it’s uplifting to see a story written with such heart and sincerity. 🫶

Stories like this remind us that music is about connection, unity and harmony, and that is always worth celebrating 💛✨🎶.
Stay exotic 😎

“Exotic is a reminder that music still knows no borders, that it can circle back on itself and complete a story years in the making, and that sometimes the best collaborations are born out of late-night calls, instinctive ideas on a plane, and, of course, falafels.”
