Praful

Praful is a breath of fresh air, an artist whose world-chill sound is making its way from Europe to the clubs and radio stateside. Composed and performed by Praful, in collaboration with producers-duo Adani&Wolf, his 2001/2003 debut release One Day Deep is a sensual and hypnotic collection of world music and electronic beats, featuring Brazilian samba, a dash of funk, chilled downtempo jazz and global rhythms. The first single Sigh held the 1 chart position for 3 consecutive weeks on Radio & Records Smooth Jazz airplay chart. People were hearing Praful, and as any artist could hope, they wanted to buy his music: One Day Deep reached Top 10 on Billboards Contemporary Jazz chart and Top 10 on Billboards Top Electronic Albums chart. Praful has arrived. The album features an international all-star cast of musicians including Afra Mussawisade, Ted de Jong, Adrian Elissen, Jose Lopretti and Brazilian sensation Lilian Vieira.

Prafuls first US tour hit the States in September 2003 in support of One Day Deep, with performances at the prestigious Catalina Jazz Festival, and billing as Discovery Artist of the Year on the Mercedes Benz Wavefest.
