Ravi Jay (රවී ජේ) is a contemporary Sri Lankan singer, rapper, and songwriter based in Colombo, known for blending R&B, hip-hop, and indie-fusion with Sinhala lyrics and traditional melodic textures. He emerged in the wave of independent Colombo artists who took Sinhala rap and alternative pop to streaming audiences, and his songs of love, longing, and self-reflection have built a steady following across Sri Lanka and the diaspora.
Ravi Jay works largely outside the older playback and commercial-pop establishment, releasing music as singles and collaborations rather than through film. His style leans on a soft, soulful vocal delivery layered over modern beats, and he often shifts between sung melody and rap within the same track. Many of his recordings pair him with producers and fellow independent artists, a collaborative habit that defines much of the current Colombo scene.
His best-known song is Galana Ganga (ගලන ගඟ), a 2017 release made with composer and producer Charitha Attalage, built around the image of a flowing river and the ache of a relationship that has slipped away. The track became one of his signature recordings and remains a frequent entry point for new listeners.
Ravi Jay has recorded with several artists in the independent Sinhala scene, including frequent partner Yuki Navaratne and singer Nuwandi Eranga, with whom he shares the song Jazz Landa. He has also appeared alongside Costa on collaborative tracks. Across these releases he tends to write or co-write his own verses, and Jazz Landa is one of the songs for which he is credited as a lyricist.
