Iraj is also the first Sri Lankan music artist to have entered into the Kollywood Music Industry.

Dubbed by analysts and critics as the revolutionary of the Sri Lankan music industry, Iraj’s success saw him drawn into a record breaking series of merchandising and marketing campaigns. His sold out world tour over the last two years has seen Iraj in venues all across the island and in some of the world’s most celebrated international platforms. The tour saw Iraj performing to packed audiences at the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne, London, LA , Paris , New York, Cyprus, Korea , Male, Seoul, Doha and Dubai – strengthening his fan base and promoting Sri Lankan music the world over.
