Team Radio City Freedom

From composing his first song at 10 to becoming the highest streamed artist on Spotify and garnering over 200 million streams across platforms, the journey of Ritviz has been nothing short of magical. Born in Darbhanga, Bihar, Ritviz Srivastava is an Indian singer, songwriter and record producer who rose to fame with the chart topping number "Udd Gaye" in 2017.

He is a trained classical musician and has been surrounded with music since childhood thanks to his mother who is a classical vocalist and his father plays the tabla. He started his music training under the guidance of Pandit Uday Bhawalkar of the Dhrupad gharana at the tender age of 6. While his roots were firmly placed in the classical music space, he was exposed to western music as a child. This is evident from the music he makes, a fusion of electronic and Indian classical music.

His latest release "Mimmi" is an album that testifies the bond he shares with his mother. The 9 song album was created during the pandemic and are lyricized conversations between Ritviz and his mother.

3 of Ritviz's songs, "Sage". "Aavegi" and "Thandi Hawa" have been featured on Ms Marvel, a series based on Marvel's first Muslim superhero.
