Ori Uplift

Harpaul Alberto Kohli (better known as Ori Uplift), the owner and CEO of Abora Recordings and host of the weekly Uplifting Only radio show was born in Washington, DC in 1980, to a father from India and a mother from Ecuador.

Since taking over the Abora label in the summer of 2012, Ori’s goal was to grow the orchestral/emotional uplifting genre and create a scene for it outside the club world while bringing it to a large and growing audience across the globe.

Since then, Abora has blossomed into the world’s top label for orchestral, emotional and uplifting trance and has sprouted successful sub-labels in many other trance genres.
