Hiresh Haridas (born 26 May 1976 in Malacca[citation needed]), better known by his stage name Reshmonu, is a singer-songwriter from Malaysia who does mostly English songs. He is known for songs such as "Walk Away", "Cintaku Pergi", "Hey Waley" and "Superfine". He is of Malayali descent. In July 2015, he rebranded himself as just Resh,[1] claiming that "Reshmonu" was a part of his "coming-of-age" process.

He is among a small number of Malaysian artists who have consistently performed as an opening act for internationally acclaimed acts touring in Malaysia, such as Alicia Keys, Prodigy, Pussycat Dolls and Black Eoas. He also has a notable following in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.[2]
