Pryti

“I write my music for people who don't fit in,” Pryti is proud to admit. In addition to her powerhouse vocals, the British-Indian singer-songwriter plays bass, guitar and piano, taking cues from artists like Architects, Deftones, Finch, Linkin Park and Paramore all the way through to the more pop-influenced likes of Now, Now, Halsey and Sarah McLachlan. This eclectic mix shows up in Pryti’s melancholic music, which innovatively blends alternative, emo and metal elements with an electronic edge.

Pryti’s debut EP, 2013’s ‘Welcome to Pariahville’, got a shout out from Architects’ Sam Carter in Kerrang! – on a day where Pryti hadn’t been sure about continuing in music. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is a sign: keep going!’” she recalls. Pryti released her debut album, ‘Tales of a Melancholic’, in 2015, following it up with her 2022 sophomore LP ‘Searching for Now, Lost in Again’, which saw her experimenting with genre. Along the way, she’s earned acclaim from a plethora of media including Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock, and even Rolling Stone India.
