There are moments in life you want to live alongside someone who makes you feel at home, lending unexpected support or just the assurance that things will fall into place. For many, Prateek Kuhad’s songs have been that companion. Whether it’s love or loss, happiness or melancholy, the singer-songwriter has been able to touch hearts with his heartfelt lyrics and honest voice.

The ‘Kasoor’ singer is currently performing across India as part of his ‘Silhouettes Tour 2024’. Live performances, he believes, require focus that differs from studio recordings. “In the studio, I can take my time. Live performances, on the other hand, are more high-pressure as there are no re-takes. But that’s what makes it fun,” Kuhad tells mid-day.
