“Raashi Malik EP” is the debut solo release from Raashi Malik. It represents a musical journey; a coming together of cultures.A journey which began where Malik, a New Zealander of Indian descent, travelled to India with husband, composer Rhian Sheehan, and recorded with prominent musicians all over India.

In India, Raashi was fortunate enough to work with sarangi player Murad Ali, who has also worked with the likes of Sting and Anoushka Shankar. She also recorded with a top student of Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Partha Sarkar, kiwi ex-pat, Jarrod Wood, Musarrat Ali, Praveen Sethi, Shailendra Kumar & Sajjad Ahmed. Produced by Malik and Sheehan and mixed by the meticulous ears of Simon Rycroft of Rhombus, this EP features the local talents of Rhian Sheehan, Thomas Voyce (Rhombus), Steve Bremner (Strike), Karnan Saba on soprano saxophone & Tim Beals (Ashes of August).

Raashi is also accompanied by the backing vocals of Andy Hummel (Woolshed Sessions, Rosy Tin Teacaddy) & Jess Chambers (Woolshed Sessions). This EP is not the conclusion of a particular journey; rather it suggests an open pathway, a set of storysongs for the listener to revisit, drawing new conclusions.
