Kalani Jamil - Live Fast, Die Young

Kalani Jamil

 

"Born In Sri Lanka, Made in London."

 

Kalani Jamil is a British Sri-Lankan musician of mixed Sinhalese/Tamil descent. Born in Sri Lanka in 1996, Kalani quickly moved to London with her parents on Asylum in 2000, claiming the need for safety in relation to racial tensions arising yet again in Sri Lanka. Not helped of course by her mixed ethnicity, in which there was still a war waging over because of within Sri Lanka. As an immigrant growing up in London, Kalani experienced discrimination at a very early age, often being the subject of bullying in school, not helped of course as a consequence of an incident occurring shortly after the Great Recession had hit, in which a teacher had outed Kalani as an asylum seeker in front of her class in a predominantly white school. 

 

Even outside of petty bullying, Kalani often experienced discrimination in many forms in the United Kingdom, instances being refusals from jobs due to her origin, despite being a British citizen with a full passport. This instead led her into politics when she was around fifteen, joining the Liberal Democrats after claiming that many British Asians were let down by the Labour party as a result of military action within Iraq and Afganistan, vowing that she would never be involved in a political party that ever supported military action that the British Army had no place of being in. 

 

Within London, she often campaigned heavily for the rights of British Asians, especially those originating from the subcontinent, her critics claimed that British Asians were treated no differently from British citizens, however her response was one of declaring an acknowledgement of not knowing the personal circumstances of the discrimination that she and over Asians had faced within the UK, later being proved even further right on the outcome of the Brexit referendum, leading to many attacks against Asian businesses and people, despite having nothing to do with the European Union, most of them being here on Non-EU visas.

 

In 2016, she ran for a local council in London, losing by 500 votes to the incumbent Labour politician, however, every cloud has a silver lining, as the Liberal Democrats had a 20% swing in favour in that particular ward, despite nationwide defeats for the Liberal Democrats a year prior. She left the Liberal Democrats shortly after the election, vowing that she would never again be involved in local politics, only activism.

 

It was around this time that Kalani made a name for herself in the underground London rapping scene, becoming quite a sought after live performer in many low-budget gigs, however, her fame never reached a level of actually ever getting round to recording anything, or even ever being recognised, however, she did have some success as a model due to changing social circumstances within the United Kingdom with the intention of many companies to be more inclusive. 

 

Both of her parents died in late 2018 under mysterious circumstances, leading her to decide to leave London altogether, gaining an American green card from a sham marriage, settling down eventually in Los Santos.

         Two arrested in connection with Jamil murder, police say.

The scene from the incident on the 3rd of September, 2018.

 

Two men have been charged and arrested with the murder of Ajantha and Charuka Jamil on the 3rd of October, 2018, in a racially motivated attack, police say.

 

Six months after the death of Ajantha and Charuka Jamil in a car accident in Clapham, the case has been reopened pending a possible murder motive, in which two men have been charged with.

 

The couple, Sri Lankan-born immigrants, were well-liked in the community, Asiri Simayanke, a local Sri Lankan community leader, came out after the death and led a barrage of memorial services for the couple, stating that: "they were a figurehead of London's Sri Lankan community, a Tamil and a Sinhalese couple is unheard of in our little island, so for them to come here and show that love means love inspired a lot of Sri Lankans in the area." 

 

However, following investigations of threats made to the couple prior to their death, Metropolitan Police say that two men of Sinhalese descent have been arrested and charged on suspicion of murder. Det. Ch. Insp. David Knowles said: "Metropolitan Police can confirm that two Sri Lankan men have been arrested in connection with the killing of Ajantha and Charuka Jamil. The act is thought to be racially motivated."

 

Sri Lankan tensions have cooled in recent years following the end of the Sri Lankan Civil War, however, relations between Tamil and Sinhalese populations are still known to be sour.

 

The Jamils were succeeded by their only daughter, Kalani Jamil, an underground rapper who goes under the name of "KLJ", she currently resides in Los Santos following her parent's death, on the matter, Kalani said; "Getting justice is not important for me and my parents but for everyone in the Sri Lankan community in both London and around the world, I hope wholeheartedly that this case can be resolved."

When it comes to the world of the press, with the rise of Saints News, boasting the sales figures, profit margins and sponsorships deals, Kalani realised one thing - when it came to the press?

 

Veni, Vidi, Vici.

Struggling with her own identity since she arrived in Los Santos, Kalani did the most unusual thing to date - relaxed. She went to the fountain near her office, watching the sun slowly drift away into the shadow of the night until the next day rises, and for the first time ever, she realised that everything was going to be okay.
