Rishi Rich has launched the careers of many artists in the past, the famous Brit-Asian producer through the Rishi Rich Project brought us Jay Sean and Juggy D who have both gone on to become household names. Rishi also managed to start a production company where he contracted the likes of Mumzy Stranger and Veronica. It's been quite some time since Rishi has brought us new artists so these singers must be very special to him.

The first of Rishi's new artists is 22-year-old female vocalist Kiran Dhanoa. The young singer is bringing you a fusion of Bhangra, Bollywood and R&B. Mainly a Panjabi singer, Kiran has the ability to write lyrics in English, Panjabi and Hindi allowing her to appeal to a wider audience.

Rishi Rich is fishing for another hit, and it looks like he's ready to reel in something big with critically acclaimed Malaysian supergroup, Goldkartz. Goldkartz are about to release their second studio album, but the duo has been on the scene since their 2008 release, Loaded. This debut caught the attention of the Malaysia's music elite, as the album was nominated at Malaysia's 2009 Music Industry Awards. Loaded also has the unique distinction of being the first Urban Bhangra album to be produced exclusively in Malaysia. 

We reviewed the teaser for this track a while back, but the final version exceeded our expectations.

Goldkartz will be treading new water with 24 Karaatz, as the group plans to release the album globally. Warner Music will help distribute the music in South East Asia, Speed Hits will take India, and Moviebox will release 24 Karaatz to the UK, and then the world. Goldkartz promises special bonus tracks for their fans in South Asia, featuring native artists like Awie, Boy Radge and Shankar Mahadevan. 

Goldkartz have high expectations for 24 Karaatz. But, with help from some of the top names in the Urban Bhangra scene, the album should be a sure thing. For starters, the album was produced by legendary UK hit-machine, Rishi Rich. Rich is one of the most acclaimed producers in the biz, having worked with mega-stars like Jay Sean and Juggy D. With Rishi Rich attached to this release, there's no telling what kind of success Goldkartz will achieve.

In addition to his work with Goldkartz, Rishi has also been active with Sunset Entertainment Group, an exclusive artist management firm that works to bring fusion content to the masses.

What do you guys think about the new Goldkartz album? It obviously has the potential to be a super hit, especially considering all the help they're getting. Will 24 Karaatz be the album of the summer?

Dressed to impress, Bhangra singers, Juggy D, H Dhami, and producer Rishi Rich, headed down to 10 Downing street to celebrate the Punjabi harvest festival, Vaisakhi, with Prime Minister David Cameron today. They were invited to this celebration as key leaders in UK's Sikh community. With the impact they make on the youth in the UK, and abroad, it makes perfect sense that these men would be invited to an event of this sort. 

Rishi Rich and his camp have acted as role models and mentors to young British, Asians. They have set up the Rish Rich academy giving the youth a taste of the entertainment industry, and have kept the South Asian community united through the arts.  It's great to see their efforts recognized .
