Indian singer and songwriter Prithvi Prajosh is creating a name for himself in the independent music space. Currently based in Los Angeles, Prithvi has been writing and performing songs for over a decade and has graduated into writing for other top artists too.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Prithvi was first introduced to music at a very young age after being forced to take up piano lessons by his mother. Spoiler alert, he hated it. It was his first heartbreak in 2008 that inspired him to use the piano to write his very first song which he very aptly titled, Heartbreak.
Growing up, he was heavily influenced by the music of Coldplay and The Beatles. Music was a huge part of his life during his college years and he participated in the UTSAV festival in Manipal, India which is one of India biggest cultural festivals. He also played several private events and shows in the United Arab Emirates with his music being featured on UAE hashtag 1 radio station Virgin Radio.
He was accepted into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA in 2018 and pursued Songwriting as his major before making it a full time career. I have always enjoyed writing songs because it allows me to be vulnerable in a way quite like no other, he says. Berklee was an incredible achievement for him considering he had little to no theoretical background in music apart from the time he was forced to learn the piano for 2 years. He further adds, I ended up teaching myself how to play the piano through YouTube tutorials which were far more useful than anything I was taught in person.

Having him also be the only member of his family to receive an education in music and a potential career as a musician, it was nerve wracking but also exciting to pursue uncharted territory.
His time at Berklee was overwhelming but incredibly fruitful as it was the first time he was surrounded by people who had similar goals. Feels Like Home, the title of his debut single was released on February 15th, 2020 on all major streaming platforms. It is a soft rock song heavily influenced by Coldplay Fix You and Clocks, and he has since released over 20 songs including his latest pop rock heartbreak anthem titled, I MISS YOU, released on May 27th, 2022.
After graduating in 2021, he moved to LA to continue pursuing a career as an Artist and Songwriter. He bagged the opportunity of writing and releasing songs Down and Fall of September with RnB artist Thomas Ng who is currently signed with Warner Music Asia and upcoming star ASHWYN from Bangalore.
Until September 2020, Prithvi made music under the artist name Ptree. He chose this because he felt, it would be easier for people to pronounce my name, especially in North America. Something clicked. And I thought to myself that people will learn how to pronounce my name. It’s only 4 syllables.
Going by his real name has been an exciting and enriching experience and he is even woven a How to pronounce my name segment into his live sets.
He has performed at various open mics across LA and popular performing venues like THE MINT, Junior High LA, and The Comedy Nook to name a few. He has written and performed a song for India most popular cricketer Virat Kohli featured on all of cricket most popular publications ESPN Cricinfo social media platforms. He also opened for Adnan Sami at the World Trade Center in Dubai in 2016 after being featured as a singer and performer on City 1016fm which is UAE hashtag 1 radio station for Bollywood music.
Over the next few months, he will be releasing songs in genres ranging from Electronic Dance Music to mainstream Pop music in collaboration with incredibly talented producers from the USA. He will then be releasing his 2nd album titled Hello Sunshine in March 2023 with the first single True Love scheduled to be released at the start of the new year. The first single is very much in the vein of Harry Styles who is someone he is heavily influenced by at the moment. The next few years will see him continuing to write for Thomas Ng, ASHWYN, and other artists like Beaugard, and Kata Kozma among many others. But before that, he has a future bass single titled Perfect made in collaboration with Gladwyn Graham and H4rris which will be stuck in everyone’s head for a really long time out on November 18th, 2022.
He further adds, I want to be part of the South Asian representation if not a pioneer for it in North America.
With all of the achievements in his career thus far, he certainly is doing this.
