Preetam Sengupta

&quot;Melodic storytelling&quot; describes his music best, and Preetam Sengupta&#39;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 <a href="spotify:artist:2CvCyf1gEVhI0mX6aFXmVI" data-name="Paul Simon">Paul Simon</a> 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, <a href="spotify:album:4dTEg2BwJ47i4jaaegQmh3" data-name="(Hopefull)">(Hopefull)</a>, a personal issue set Preetam back temporarily. He needed to re-learn how to play and sing songs he&#39;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 <a href="spotify:artist:3ecInXeVEuySk8y1AYFA74" data-name="Slakah The Beatchild">Slakah The Beatchild</a>). Joseph&#39;s imagination and &quot;musical wizardry&quot; (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.
