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.
