BOMBAY THE ARTIST FINDS HER VOICE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The more her worlds collide, the more music there is for everyone

- PEONY HIRWANI

There are no filters in Bombay the Artist's world. No manufactured backstory, no curated persona. Just a South England girl with Punjabi roots, now based in Mumbai, a sharp eye for aesthetics, and a heart that bleeds across mediums. She calls herself a storyteller more than a singer, and she means it. From fashion to film to songs that straddle languages and genres, she's building her lane—paved with emotional, unflinching artistry, entirely her own.

Long before her name topped streaming playlists or fans messaged her saying her lyrics saved them, Bombay the Artist (real name Preeti Singhania) was just another face in Mumbai's endless casting lines. It was a scene straight out of the movies she grew up watching, except this one wasn't a dream. It was rejection, language barriers, empty pockets, and the crash of romantic ideas. But right before she left the city, she stumbled into a concert. On stage: Dua Lipa. In the crowd: a girl who had no idea she was about to unlock her real story. "The idea that I could sing and perform like [Dua Lipa], for Indians, in India—that changed everything," she says.
