Rikesh Chauhan (born 5 June 1990), better known by his stage name RKZ, is a British recording artist, writer, photographer, creative and ambassador for Campaign Against Living Miserably.

Career

Music

RKZ began his career in 2008 as a 17-year-old, with Defeat Me being his first notable single, released in 2010. The following year, he released the single Gonna Be That, which was featured as part of the soundtrack for Bashy's film, The Man Inside.[1] The remix featured British Asian rappers AC, Lost Souljah, Swami Baracus, Raxstar and Menis, Kaly, and Waqas Qadri of Outlandish.

In 2012 he released Power Trippin' EP along with the music video for Are You Down. The EP was produced by ADP. Later that year RKZ released Jhené's Song which was inspired by, and samples, Jhené Aiko's single, 3:16am.[2] The Words of Adrenaline mixtape featuring Jhené's Song released in December 2012.

On 1 January 2013, he released Superstars. The video incorporated the team members of UK charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably and promoted their 2013 Save The Male campaign. He performed Superstars on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends with Clive Anderson.[3] In August of that year, he released his EP SOULar which broke into the Top 100 R&B/Soul iTunes Chart. He notably performed alongside Raxstar in 2010 and 2011 for BBC London and Manchester Melas, and 2013's Leeds & Reading Festivals for BBC Introducing.[4]

In December 2014 he released the single Visionaries via Roundhouse Radio, who premiered the song live on the show. In November 2015, RKZ released the song They Don't Know Nothing featuring American rapper, Chino XL.[5]

In March 2016, RKZ formed a group with producer Handbook and rapper Supreme Sol called TRIAD and released the self-titled EP via Berlin-based music blog, Stereofox.[6] The following year he released the single Notes, before going on a hiatus. He returned in late 2018 to release singles Magnificent and Impossible, taken from the album Somewhere In The Afterbeat, produced by Handbook.

Creative

In 2011, he was announced as an ambassador for the Campaign Against Living Miserably. The charity aims to reduce the suicide rate of men in the UK, particularly London. Suicide is the biggest killer of men in the UK. He contributes to CALM's website and monthly CALMzine as a guest writer, as well as for music blog Sampleface, and menswear publication The Dapper Chapper. An alumnus of University of Westminster, he volunteers as a careers mentor.[7]

Fashion

Working with prominent Indian menswear designer, Saran Kohli, RKZ and Kohli collaborated on a suit collection focusing on the best of their heritage. Using Asian textiles and motifs coupled with Savile Row silhouettes, they debuted both suits from their collection during Men's Fashion Week in London in 2017 and 2018.[8] He currently works for shirtmaker Turnbull & Asser, and is a freelance menswear writer and photographer.
