Prathija Prem
Prathija Prem is a 25-year-old young woman, who first got her start in music with the piano at the young age of six and she was classically trained throughout grade school. Then, she was introduced to Carnatic singing at the age of 13. She did her first cover on YouTube at the age of 14 which was “Hey Soul Sister.” She got hooked and continued to make acoustic covers with her piano.
This past year, she has started working on her own music by producing her first EP called “Möbius Löve,” which can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.
For Prathija, writing her own music is really a way to vent out her emotions. She wants to continue making more music and eventually come out with a full-fledged album next year. Her goal is to also eventually have a mini-tour with other artists and to keep creating music for the rest of her life!
