Kauai, Hawaii Native Preeta Shows the World the Joyful Energy of Living and Loving ``In This Moment''
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2005--
Spiritual-Minded Indie Artist is Already a Star on The Islands and in L.A., Where She's Performed at Many Hotspots as Well as VH1's Save The Music Jamfest
Singer/songwriter Preeta's name means "beloved" in Hindi, which fits in perfectly with her lofty musical and spiritual goals. "My mission through my music is to give love and uplift people from the trap of dwelling on the negativity of life," says the native of the Hawaiian Island of Kauai.
Her other chief goal, living truly and fully day to day "In This Moment," is such a driving force in her life that there was no other possible title for her first full-length recording -- a collection of feel-good pop music, reggae and funk produced and engineered by Brian Reeves, who has worked with Billy Idol, U2, and the currently red-hot band Rooney.
Growing up, Preeta was influenced by the reggae that was popular in Kauai (epitomized by Bob Marley), as well as pop/rock artists like Jackson Browne, Tom Petty, Alice in Chains, Ben Harper and Tori Amos. Although she became very popular in Kauai's small but thriving music community, her sense of destiny drew her to the mainland, where one of those musicians quickly hooked her up with a producer in L.A. for her first EP project.
Preeta has also been featured on a compilation put together by Campus Circle magazine and on the "MI Volume IV" and "Proud To Be Kauai" Compilations. To date, "In This Moment" has received five-star reviews from CDReview.com, Musesmuse.com, CoffeeHouseMusic.com and IndependentSongwriterMagazine.com.
Since moving to Los Angeles in 2000, Preeta has become one of the city's most popular indie performers. She has played many of the city's hotspots, including El Rey and The Gig. She also performed at VH1's Save The Music Jamfest and the New Music Reporter Music Convention, as well as debuting herself on Fox's The Good Morning Show in Honolulu.
"People ask me what I see in my future, and I respond with the words of the album's title song. This moment is all there is. I think you get in this space, by going through certain ordeals of suffering which ultimately help you rise above conformity."
