Prateek Kuhad

Lauded by Rolling Stone India as “one of the country’s leading singer-songwriters,” Kuhad’s cinematic songwriting reminds us that great music can often make intimacy feel expansive. A pair of early EPs put Kuhad on the map, followed by his full-length debut in 2017, In Tokens and Charms, which earned Kuhad Indie Album of the Year honors from iTunes. In 2018, his EP “cold/mess” debuted at #1 on Spotify India. He maintained this momentum with “Kasoor” in 2020, which became the first independently released track in India to claim the #1 spot on Apple Music’s all-genre chart. Released in 2022, The Way That Lovers Do earned new fanfare, with “Co2” now becoming his most-streamed track on Spotify. Kuhad has headlined festivals like Lollapalooza India and sold out headline tours across North America, Europe, UK, Asia, and the Middle East. 2026 marks the arrival of Kuhad’s third studio album, Full Moon Chamber, via Atlantic Records. Created between New York and Los Angeles, the project explores themes of love, identity, and emotional transformation — capturing a period of both personal and artistic evolution.
