About Live Vocal Performance
What Drives Me
For me, singing is all about catching the vibe and making you feel something. I always try to connect with the emotion in every song, whether I’m belting out lead vocals or weaving in harmonies. It’s not just work - it’s pure joy.
How I Roll on Stage
I go with the flow, so I’m pretty flexible depending on what your gig needs. If you want a lead vocalist front and center, I’ve got you. Prefer someone who can add rich backing harmonies? That’s my jam too. I’ve been the main voice for Easy Wanderlings and love jumping into special projects.

My Stage Experience
Big festival energy or chill café gigs - I’ve done both. You might have seen me at Lollapalooza India or NH7 Weekender, but I’m just as at home in a cozy club or a fancy auditorium like NCPA Mumbai. I also bring the same energy to corporate and branded events, like Motoverse with Royal Enfield.
My Musical Vibe
Indie, soul, pop, and funk are my roots but I keep exploring. I’ve dabbled in jazz, blues, even some rock - had a blast sharing the stage with Indus Creed. Playback singing for OTT shows and Bollywood projects? Yep, done that too. Even sung in Japanese once, just for kicks.
Collaboration & Commitment
I love working with other artists - Oaff x Savera, Shreyas Iyengar, Taal Inc. & Friends, just to name a few. When I’m on your gig, I’m all in: rehearsals, soundcheck, making sure every detail is tight. Let’s make some music together!

My Story
Hey, I’m Pratika. I sing, I teach, I play. Just landed in Mumbai, chasing the music dream, you know how it goes. Started teaching vocals kinda by accident, no fancy Western training, just learning as I go. Took the Trinity exams to help my students out. Online classes during lockdown, told my folks I was new, we learnt together. Four years in, it’s wild how much joy singing brings, both ways. Still figuring it out, loving every moment.
My Work
Live Performances & Session Vocals - I do lead and backing vocals, harmonies, choir work, and indie session vocals for ads, films, and more.
Western Contemporary Vocal Classes - I teach Western contemporary vocals, focusing on feel and emotion, not just technique.
Playback Singing & Collaborations - Playback for OTT shows and films - like 'Holdin' On' for Bandish Bandits S2, and 'Enemy' in Gehraiyaan.
Vocalist for Easy Wanderlings - I sing with my band Easy Wanderlings. Check us out if you vibe with soulful music.
Open to New Projects - Just moved to Mumbai, keen on fun collabs and new work. Hit me up if you’ve got something cool.
