Quiet Light

Quiet Light (AKA Riya Mahesh) is a Texas-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs are, in her own words, “dream sequences” — her Lynchian, liminal electropop sounds are both frozen in time and built to withstand its weathering, weaving sharp, sparse songwriting with gossamer strands of ambient, electronic, and folk. Her 2020 self-titled debut EP Quiet Light foregrounded a virtuosic run of independent, self-produced records, including 2023’s Blue Angel Sparkling Silver and Fourth of July, Going Nowhere (2024), and Pure Hearts (2025). Along the way, she’s earned critical acclaim from outlets like The FADER, been co-signed by Iggy Pop, and provided direct support for Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilufer Yanya, and Chanel Beads on tour. Now, with her forthcoming mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, her debut release on True Panther (Oklou, Jawnino, Grace Ives), she proves she’s a generational voice that’s here to stay. The tape plays out like a dreamy smash cut of the places, faces, and influences that brought Mahesh here as she delivers her most assured project yet, following her own inner compass to new, revelatory heights. As she puts it: “This record is for people who dream about what their life could be like.”
