Grad Bites: Introducing CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

 
 
 
Rikesh Chauhan (RKZ – pronounced Ricks) is a musician, menswear writer and photographer.
 
He’s also an ambassador for the award winning men’s health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
 
Having studied Commercial Music at Westminster University, the multi-talented Rikesh has since branched out into other creative fields, including filming videos, photography and most recently, men’s fashion – both as a designer and writer.

 
Collaborating with prominent designer Saran Kohli, he helped to designed a collection of suits that bridge the gap between East and West (Indian fabrics meet Savile Row tailoring). Their first creation was featured in Esquire’s Best Street Style from London Fashion Week. He is now a freelance writer about men’s fashion.

 
Rikesh is also well known through his music – as RKZ, singer-songwriter, rapper and Spoken Word artist. His musical style has been described as ‘a fusion of alternative R&B, Neo-Soul and Hip Hop’. Check out one of our favourite songs ‘Notes’ here.
