Hiranya is a singer, mother and adventurer, join her for Songversations over a cup of tea where she explores falling back in love with England post-Brexit.
She was born to Sri Lankan parents in rural England. In 2018, she solo hiked the Welsh Coastal Path. Her experience of race post-Brexit broke down her sense of self, and of country. She moved from England, through Wales, to Scotland and back.
She journeyed through grief to love; finding healing in the land. Her debut album, Frangipani and Daisy Chains, was released in June 2023. Part personal nostalgia, part history lesson; it contemplates belonging from the ground up – the plants that are rooted in her country’s landscape.
The resultant pilgrimage, crisscrossing from England to the Commonwealth, and back; integrates her ancestral story into its broader political context.
