ILLAH

On the surface, it’s easy to sum up Los Angeles-based singer-producer Mayurath Sinh aka ILLAH as a musician who makes hit records out of his $100 bedroom studio but there’s much more in the mix. Surprisingly, ILLAH is one of the few faces that represent the South-Asian/Indian demographic in hip hop. A Duke University/UC Berkeley study revealed that Indian immigrants have gotten more engineering and tech jobs from 1995-2005. More than immigrants from the UK, China, Taiwan, Japan all combined. Sinh particularly sticks out like a sore thumb in this demographic. Born in New Delhi, India on 1 February 1997, “ILLAH” is a songwriter and artist who resides in Los Angeles, CA. Having a diverse musical background, his style can not be compared to many artists out there. While still young, Sinh taught himself how to engineer by recording other musicians. Although the 25-year-old has been visiting his second home in Los Angeles since 1999 but he enrolled at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles in 2015, pursuing audio engineering and later completed his bachelors in entertainment business. Without any promotion he has 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a million plays without a label deal and is making a buzz as an independent artist. A large number of his fanbase is international and unaware of ILLAH's Indian heritage.
