Indian origin singer trumps B Praak, Kakkar

RIKA
Indian-Brit pop sensation Chandrika Darbari, who goes by the stage name, RIKA, bagged the award for The Artist of the Year Asia at the 18th annual Urban Music Awards 2022. RIKA was nominated alongside B Praak, Gurj Sidhu, Sidhu Moose Wala, Neha Kakkar, and Jasmine Sandlas, among others.
The Doses singer says, “It is an honour to have been nominated with such amazing artistes. This win is more special because it is the [listeners] who have voted for us. I started writing when I was 15, and I feel like I’ve grown up with music. I’ve changed as a person just as I have as a musician. It’s important to be yourself in this day and age. Looking inward is important. You should be proud of all your achievements because it’s more about the journey than the destination.”
