Lady Kash is an international rapper from Singapore who started upon her solo career in 2007. Born Kalaivani Nagaraj she took upon the name Lady Kash for her musical journey. The name, she has said in several interviews, was a result of a dream that occurred to her before she started her solo career. In 2008 she invited Krissy a singer from Singapore to join her, and they formed the duo better known as Lady Kash and Krissy. In late 2012, Lady Kash decided to break away from the duo on mutual consent and returned to being a solo act as she began in 2007.
