Gayantha Wijayarathna (also spelled Gayantha Wijayarathne or Gayantha Wijerathna, ගයන්ත විජයරත්න) is a contemporary Sri Lankan singer and composer whose melodic Sinhala songs have found a steady audience on streaming platforms and Sri Lankan radio. He is best known for tracks such as Tharu Werale and Ra Ahase Tharu Dilena Tharam, and he writes much of his own material as a singer-songwriter.
Gayantha Wijayarathna works across both performance and production, singing his own compositions and writing music for other vocalists. His catalogue ranges from gentle love songs to lighter, playful singles, and he has remained actively releasing new material through the 2020s, with recent singles appearing on Spotify and Apple Music. On Lyrics-lk his recordings carry the Sinhala lyrics alongside an English translation and transliteration, so listeners can follow both the sound and the meaning.
Among his most-played recordings is Tharu Werale, a track that has drawn hundreds of thousands of streams, along with Rawum Kade Langa and the night-sky ballad Ra Ahase Tharu Dilena Tharam. As a composer, Gayantha Wijayarathna has written for several other singers: he composed Awith Ma Langin for Uresha Ravihari (also writing its lyrics), Magathotakadi for Gayashan Buddhika, and Binkundo for Pathum Nayanajith. His duet Mage Jeewithema pairs him with Samadhi Pathirana.
