U.R.V. performs at the TD IRIE Music Festival on Saturday, July 30th at Yonge-Dundas Square

URVah Khan spent the first few years of her life in the heart of the Middle East and was raised with strict values in a traditional Islamic home. She grew up in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and comes from an Indian-Pakistani background. Her mother had been a strong influence in her life and introduced her to media and the performing arts at a very young age. U.R.V developed her gifts in Music, Canvas Art and Performing Arts while maintaining an enthusiasm for Writing and Journalism which was primarily influenced by her upbringing.

At the age of 16, URVah decided to make her own way independent of her family and broke ties with traditional and ingrained cultural expectations. She embarked on what can only be described as a courageous journey. Shortly after starting her brave independent life, she grew closer to her spiritual side and accepted Jesus Christ. This choice brought about several consequences and caused family trauma. Being born as a Muslim, South Asian female, her decision was disapproved and looked down upon by many. But it was one of many decisions which led URV on a soul searching journey to discover who she is. Right after leaving the family home, URVah dropped out of high school. Due to years of being tied down to rules and regulation, she had the rebellious spirit to step out the box to explore the world on her own. She successfully broke through the cycles of drug abuse and gave up on living the rough street life.

Since the start of her musical career there was nothing but success that followed U.R.V. In a short period of time she has rocked the stage alongside many Canadian Icons such as Danny Fernandes, Gyptian, Saukrates, Choclair, Kim Davis, Rich Kid & many more.
