Praveen Bhat

I'm a singer-songwriter who believes music is about connection and storytelling. I perform soulful indie-pop and folk in Hindi, Kannada, and English for live events, sharing a story with every song.

I sing into a handheld microphone under the stage lights in this photograph from my live-music journey.

I'm on vocals and guitar at a Chamaravajra private event, wearing a blazer after a long time.

There's no feeling like looking out and seeing a sea of lights from the audience. This was at a packed show where the energy was just electric. It’s moments like these that make every performance unforgettable.

Lost in the music. This is the passion I bring to every single song, whether it's my own or a classic you love. It's about feeling the music, not just singing it.

My Story

I'm Praveen, from Sirsi in the Western Ghats, now based in Bangalore. I picked up an old, rusty guitar in "2015-ish". Music brought me friends, office staircase jams and a film song, "Ninnalli Neenu" from "Megha". I started writing "So Ja Ab Tu Chanda" in 2017 when my mother was in hospital, "like a lullaby in reverse". I hope you make it yours and sing it to comfort those who once comforted you.

My Work

Live and recorded vocals - I sing and play guitar solo or with other musicians, and sing for films and original tracks.

Ceremony music - I sing beside the stage while the ceremony happens. Solo or two-piece usually suits this.

Songs and stories - I share my own music and covers, including evenings called "Songs & Stories".

Live song requests - I take requests in Malayalam, English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Original music - My debut original is "So Ja Ab Tu Chanda", a folk-pop lullaby I started writing for my mother.

Shared music - My "Kina Chir" collaboration with Ashish Kamath brings together Punjabi singing and Konkani rap.
