GETCHNAH is a Tamil-Canadian rapper from Scarborough. She is a 1st Gen child of Sri Lankan refugees, and a child of the foster care community. Her goal is to share her story, in hopes of inspiring souls alike across the globe.
GETCHNAH is a multi-faceted artist. She is a professional dancer, rapper, singer and an Audio Engineer. She always knew the performing arts and extravagant theatrics was her true calling. Her passion has always been to create her own music which infused many genres, such as Rap, EDM, RnB, along with influences from South Asian music.
GETCHNAH has performed at iconic venues in Toronto such as the Axis Theatre, Phoenix Concert Theatre, and TD Musichall. She notably opened for Grammy award winner KOFFEE at Toronto's MNFSTO and performed at Pride Toronto in 2022 and 2023. Today she is an independent artist with 3 singles, an EP (Gem-In-i), and currently wrapping up her 10 track debut album, which is set to release Fall 2024.
Growing up GETCHNAH’s biggest influence was her father. As a child GETCHNAH would mirror her father dancing like Michael Jackson or breakdancing. When life took him away from her at the age of nine, she didn’t want her and her father’s passion for music and performance to end with his death. As she grew older she found more people who inspired her. These people included: Prabhu Deva, Lady Gaga, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, CL, Aaliyah, and many more.
