Priyanka Chakrabarti, who performs as Piu, is a vocalist, composer, and producer. Based out of Vancouver Island, Priyanka has been a lifelong student of Indian classical music starting early as a vocalist.
With a passion for electronic fusion and dance floor grooves, her genre bending music shifts between cultures and identities, a reflection of how she moves in the world. Using her voice, Priyanka weaves Raga into her compositions as an offering, exploring ambient soundscapes that morph into hard hitting analog synth riffs. Having released four singles since 2021, she is working on her debut album to be released this year. Priyanka has held residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and has ongoing collaborations with musicians worldwide.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
