“You’ll be hooked by her soulful rhythmic songs and captivated by her stunning vocal performance. It’s easy to see why ‘European audiences are sitting up and taking notice of this captivating musician from Fremantle.” Australian Times, UK

After supporting the likes of Simply Red, John Paul Young, and Ed Kowalczyk of the band ‘Live’, Prita moved to Berlin to pursue her international touring dream, and has been busy touring Europe & the UK ever since. 8 years later and Prita has returned to her home town of Fremantle, WA to get back to her roots and launch her new album HOPE. 

Most recently singing, recording & writing with Kav Temperley of Eskimo Joe in Freo and working side by side with other high caliber musicians on tour.  

She has independently released 8 albums including Prita EP, Bootleg Live, After the Storm, New Life, Live in Dusseldorf, Live in Estonia, Northern Lights and Hope. Her latest album ‘Hope’ is a culmination of her years touring Europe & deep musical friendships with other artists. Her latest single ‘Breathe’ co-written & recorded with Kav Temperley is available on Spotify & iTunes now. 

Prita is immersed in the music scene as a full-time singer-songwriter playing festivals and music venues around Europe & Australia, securing airplay on radio, and reviews in the press internationally.

Her unique sound is ‘Hip-Soul-Folk’. It combines her love of Hip-Hop, Soul and Folk with the use of a live loop pedal and effortlessly layering funky urban harmonies, acoustic finger-picking guitar and beat boxing. 

Prita has been likened to a Beth Hart, Pink, Adele, and Tracy Chapman.
