Orijinal (aka Rij) is an artist, tastemaker, and DJ whose sound is as bold as his vision.

​

With tracks recently spun on BBC Radio 1, championed by Jaguar on BBC Introducing Dance, and supported by Jasmine Takhar on BBC Asian Network, his sound is breaking through, bass-driven, emotionally charged, and undeniably fresh.

​

Known as a creative force with a sharp instinct for what moves people, he brings communities with him on the journey. His DJ sets are high-octane and infectious, spanning disco, funk, house, garage, and everything in between. From Thailand’s Full Moon Party to UK festivals, Ibiza villas, and boat parties, he brings undeniable energy to every dancefloor.

​

As a resident on Ibiza Club Radio and host of the Naughty Parrot Podcast, Orijinal is constantly curating fresh sounds and spotlighting new voices. His reach also extends into the corporate world, having delivered sets for major global brands like HPE, Nutanix, and Softcat, balancing underground energy with broad audience appeal.

​

He’s the founder of Naughty Parrot, a platform for music, movement, and self-expression. Through immersive events, expressive clothing drops, and a growing creative community, Naughty Parrot reflects Rij’s instinct for building spaces where people feel free, seen, and switched on. As a natural connector, he curates the sound and sets the tone, introducing fresh talent and guiding a culture with feeling at its core.

​

Shaped by London’s underground, warehouse raves, skippy garage nights, and bass-heavy sessions, Orijinal developed a sound designed to stir emotion and command attention. Raw energy, rich textures, and grooves that hit before the hook even lands.

​

His time in Ibiza brought in new influences: warm, funky, soulful house textures layered into his bass-driven sonic identity.

​

In the studio, Rij leads the creative vision, from concept and topline to arrangement and sonic direction. Expect skippy drums, soulful flips, subtle Indian percussion, and bold low-end weight. His productions are warm, uplifting, and often spotlight fierce vocals, a sound he proudly champions.

​

With his foundations laid, Orijinal is now stepping onto bigger stages.
