The thing Prateek Kuhad finds challenging and exciting about live tours is the unpredictability. With over 800,000 followers on Instagram, he is one of India's leading singer-songwriters, who caught former US President Barack Obama's attention with his single cold/mess which the former president included in his playlist. Kuhad is currently on tour in cities across India as part of the Silhouettes World Tour. "Touring can be a little taxing because one is constantly travelling from one place to another and has to be really adaptable since anything can happen in a single day-from technical snags to finding a quiet hotel to stay overnight, or just the anxiety about the show going well. The moment you start looking at it with a 'let's see what happens' kind of attitude, it might turn out to be an adventure!" he shares a musical outlier's philosophy.
Born and raised in Jaipur, Kuhad is comfortable singing in both Hindi and English. He shot to global attention when he released his debut album In Tokens & Charms in 2015 and got the Best India Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2016. In 2018, EP cold/mess debuted at number one in India.
