Prateek Kuhad
Singer Songwriter
Hailed by Rolling Stone India as “one of the country’s leading singer-songwriters,” Prateek Kuhad has enjoyed a star-making turn on the global stage in recent years, becoming the first Indian artist to sign with elektra records and even landing on the playlist of former Us President Barack Obama. But with his newest collection, Shehron Ke Raaz, Kuhad returns to his Indian roots, recording in Bombay and singing in Hindi as he explores the intimate, often hidden worlds that lovers create for themselves.
“Shehron Ke Raaz translates to ‘secrets of cities,’” says Kuhad, “and that’s what these songs are all about. big cities have countless stories of lovers lost in their own little worlds, and while their particular corner of the city may be small in the grand scheme of things, their emotional universe is large and all-encompassing.”
