Rina Charaniya, popularly known as Rii in the music scene, has shared her thoughts on the current music landscape, her journey as a singer, and her commitment to authenticity in her craft.
In a world filled with budding musicians, Rii emphasizes the importance of having a unique and original style. She believes that while many artists today are making authentic music, some are merely trying to emulate the styles of other popular artists.
“Honestly, there are artists who’ve been making authentic music and there are some trying to be like other artists. I prefer listening and following the journey of those who are true to their art and identity,” Rii says. She expresses her disapproval for artists who attempt to mimic well-known figures like Drake, Sidhu, Moose Wala, or Beyoncé, advocating for artists to embrace their individuality.
Rii’s own musical journey has been a roller coaster of emotions. She acknowledges the challenges she has faced and the necessity of forgiveness and positivity to keep moving forward. Despite the ups and downs, she takes pride in having released several beautiful songs like “Judaa,” “Phir Mulaqaat,” “Baatein Uski,” “Adha Chaand,” and “Silly,” with more music in the pipeline. She is excited about her upcoming releases and potential collaborations.

When it comes to her musical training, Rii reveals that she is self-taught. She didn’t have the privilege of formal training early in her singing career. Instead, she relied on self-learning by watching tutorials on platforms like YouTube and drawing inspiration from some of the greatest artists. This self-guided approach has allowed her to develop her unique style and voice.
Rii’s recent releases, “Aadha Chaand” and “Silly,” have received attention and feedback from her audience. “Aadha Chaand” is a romantic and soft track dedicated to an Indian Army family, while “Silly” is a fun song aimed at the youth. Rii notes that “Silly” garnered more exposure and helped her understand her audience’s preferences better.
Looking ahead, Rii is focused on creating great, authentic music. She believes that classical instruments will always maintain their authenticity. While she acknowledges the prevalence of electronic and club music, her true aspiration is to create beautiful songs. Currently, she is working on her first album, which is an exciting endeavor for her. Despite the challenges of the music industry, Rii’s primary goal is to make people happy through her music, even if it’s just one person a day. Her commitment to authenticity and heartfelt music shines through in her dedication to creating beautiful songs that resonate with her audience.
