Kunal Singhal
Vocal improvisation, meditative drones, live looping and instrumental tones.
ABOUT
Kunal Singhal has been singing with rock, folk, metal, prog and jazz bands since 2002. He bought his Boss RC-50 loopstation in 2007 to create vocal harmonies when working with musicians who were reluctant to sing.
He stopped singing in 2010 when he founded London-based promotion Chaos Theory, focusing his energy on discovering and promoting innovative musicians and artists. Through his work with hundreds of experimental artists, Kunal absorbed new ideas and inspiration at an intense rate. When Chaos Theory events stopped during the coronavirus pandemic, he resumed singing with his loop pedal and started attending open improvisation night Skronk, where he was eventually approached and asked to perform at his first gig in March 2022.
He now continues to experiment with loops, vocals and new instruments, including having spent most of 2022 learning how to play Lia Mice‘s latest invention Chaos Bells.
Kunal is always seeking out events to perform at, musicians to collaborate with and projects to sing for as a guest vocalist.
