BANIPREET​

​

BANIPREET IS A SINGER-SONGWRITER BASED IN CANBERRA. RAISED IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN REGION OF SYDNEY, SHE GREW UP SINGING 16TH CENTURY HYMNS AT THE LOCAL SIKH TEMPLE. WHILE HER CONNECTION TO NORTH INDIA, THE PUNJAB, REMAINED STRONG, HER WESTERN IDENTITY INVITED AN APPETITE OF POP CULTURE, HIP HOP BEATS, AND JAZZ MELODIES THAT RESULTED IN HER STUDYING A BACHELOR OF VISUAL ARTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY. IN HER LATE TEENS, SHE EXPLORED INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC, UNDERSTANDING MUSIC AT ITS MOST FUNDAMENTAL - RHYTHM, BREATH, PRACTISE, AND STORY - WHILE SUBMERGING HERSELF IN CULTURAL ARTISTRY FROM THE WEST. BANIPREET’S SOUND BLENDS THESE TWO IDENTITIES FROM THE EAST AND WEST. HER SONG-WRITING IS THE PUREST FORM OF HER IDENTITY.
