Gloria Ragesh—better known as award-winning artist Wild Gloriosa—unearths profound soul and feeling in every aspect of her music. With a sound that is both distinct and otherworldly, her work carries listeners into a space that honours authenticity, celebrates vulnerability, and embraces the romances of each stage in life. Drawing from her South Indian roots and Singaporean upbringing, her songwriting is a deeply intuitive process—an evolving conversation with herself and the world around her.
A standout in Australia’s contemporary soul scene, Wild Gloriosa has shared stages with the likes of Jessica Mauboy, Thelma Plum, The Jungle Giants, and The Bamboos, and brought her bewitching presence to festivals including Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Queenscliff Music Festival. Taking her name from Tamil Nadu’s state flower, the flame lily, she continues to bloom with each release.
Wild Gloriosa stops by PBS for a dazzling Studio 5 Live following the April release of her EP 'Growing Pains'. Tune in to Black Wax on Monday June 23 from 11am for this soulful live performance.
