Vidushaan

Vidushaan (Vithushan Thayaparan) is a Sri Lankan rapper, singer, and founder of the band Est4Lyf who’s been shaping Tamil hip-hop culture since his early days. Starting with his debut *Cinderella* at 16, he gained traction through collaborations like *Lucky Anthem* with Santhosh Hariharan and international projects under Sony Music South, including the album *Vanthuvidu*. Known for tracks like *Kassu* and *Naan Oru Muttalunga* (both surpassing 100k views), he’s performed globally in Malaysia, India, and Singapore, while building a social media following of 35k+ on Instagram. Recent releases like *Toronto Ponnu* and *Fake Escobar* (2024) followed a busy year of live shows, including collaborations with Yuvan Shankar Raja and 13 local performances.

His journey reflects a decade-long grind to establish Tamil hip-hop in Sri Lanka’s music scene, overcoming limited radio play and industry barriers. With Jaya Records handling his verification processes and fresh singles like *Rawberry* and *DIARY*, Vidushaan continues pushing boundaries while connecting with audiences across Sri Lanka, India, and the diaspora.
