Prateek Kuhad

Prateek Kuhad learnt to play the guitar at age of 16 and started songwriting in his late teens. He studied Maths and Economics at New York University before moving to Delhi to pursue a full-time career in music.

Prateek Kuhad has gained international notice since his 2015 debut album, In Tokens and Charms. The album earned Kuhad an MTV Europe Music Award, Indie Album of the Year honours from iTunes, Best Pop Artist at the Radio City Freedom Awards, and first place in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. Sold-out headline dates followed, as did arena support slots with Alt-J and Mike Posner, and soon Kuhad was performing around the world. When he landed in Austin for the first time, NPR selected him as an artist to watch among the thousands showcasing at SXSW. Kuhad's 2018 song cold/mess was featured on former president of the United States Barack Obama's 'Favourite Music of 2019' list.
