Bio

“I am sucker for [Preetam's] Nick Drake-y singer-songwriter tell-me-a-story style.”  - John Cloud, Head of International, Playground Music Scandinavia 

“Musically = Silk. Lyrically = Plaid. Socially = Burlap. This is why people love Preetam!” - Drew Marshall, Host of Drew Marshall Show 

"Melodic storytelling" describes his music best, and Preetam Sengupta's live show is built around simple performance, playful stage banter, and very little pyro. While the (humbling) comparison most often goes the other way, Preetam’s niece has said that Paul Simon sounds like him. We’re pretty sure Mr. Simon is unaware of this. 

Patience is both the title of Preetam’s new album, and a skill he needed to exercise in its release. After his debut album, HopeFull, a personal issue set Preetam back temporarily. He needed to re-learn how to play and sing songs he'd written in the past, unsure he’d ever be able to write another. 

In time, Preetam found his way back to good health, and in studio with JUNO-winning producer Byram Joseph (aka Slakah the Beatchild). Joseph's imagination and "musical wizardry" (as per Preetam) pushed the limits of what Preetam perceived as his abilities, and how his music fit into a particular genre. The result is Patience, a labour of love and celebration of life’s joys and sorrows.   

You'll find Patience, and more of Preetam's music, on Spotify or iTunes. For updates on Preetam, look to Facebook and visit www.preetam.ca.


 

I live, work, and create on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron and the treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. I am honoured, humbled, and grateful to have continued opportunities to learn the true history of where I call home, and from those whose ancestors were the First Peoples of these lands. In return, it is my responsibility to advocate for and take personal steps towards reconciliation so that our collective present and future can be brighter than our past.
