About Studio & Session Vocals
My Approach as a Session Singer
Music is where I work and chill, and when I step into the studio, I’m not just singing notes - I’m chasing the feel of the track. For me, the best takes happen when I let the music lead, not force it. If you want a playback singer for web series, an ad jingle vocalist, or someone who loves indie vocal collaborations, I’m your person.
What I Offer
- Playback vocals for films and OTT - I match my vibe to the actor and story, so the emotion lands right
- Ad jingles - I get what makes brand tunes earworms and am comfortable on set
- Collaborations with indie artists - jazz, soul, R&B, indie-folk are my jam, but I’m open to any style
- Vocal arrangement services - harmonies, co-composing, lyric writing, whatever your track needs
Some Projects I’ve Done
- Sang 'Holdin' On' for Amazon Prime’s Bandish Bandits Season 2
- My band’s song ‘Enemy’ in Gehraiyaan
- Composed and sang for Oppo ad with Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi
- Featured on jazz EP 'Nightwing' by 779B, wrote lyrics for one song
- Collabed on Oaff’s 'Forever' and Komorebi’s ‘Watch Out’
How I Work
I’m based in Mumbai, always up for fresh session gigs. Whether you need whispery vocals or belting power, I’ll experiment till it fits. Bas, emotion is everything. You bring the track, I’ll bring the feels.
Cheggit yaar!

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.
