Arzutra Garielle
Arzutra Garielle (born 26 November 1987) is a British-Asian singer based in London, UK, who sings in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.
Arzutra Garielle grew up in Westminster, a suburb of London in the U.K. Her parents are from Africa and grandparents from India who left India upon the partition of India in 1947. From an early age, she studied instruments, dancing, poetry-writing, and singing. In an interview, Garielle said that she was discouraged from pursuing music by her parents, who preferred her to concentrate on academics. Her poetry-writing turned into song-writing, and though she claimed never to have set out to be a singer that music had always been important to her. After being praised for her voice, she decided to pursue a music career.
In 2019 she decided to change her name. She changed her name to Arzutra Garielle after years of deliberating on her name. She wanted a positive meaning and chose the word Arzu which means dream, desire, wish. The origin of this word is Persia and has Middle Eastern influences together with connection with Urdu and Sub-Continental languages. She chose the ‘tra’ to be added from her idol, Cleopatra.
Arzutra Garielle didn’t know any Indian languages and was advised that she could never sing in the dialect. She spent years studying Indian language and literature and worked with vocal coaches Chiranjib Chakraborty of India & Nisar Daniel of Pakistan for semi Indian Classical and Victor Asquith of UK for Bel Canto coaching.
Her first single came from music producer Jawad Hyder who composed and produced her debut single “Palkaan in 2014. The song has South American jazz acoustics infused with a Bollywood vibe. She released her second song with JKD, “Aaz Ma Le”, an edgy rock-funk with Bollywood inspired sound. She didn’t get the recognition she was seeking until she was introduced to her next Producer.
Her real break came from working with Producer Atif Ali who has worked on several Bollywood films and tv serials. With her new Producer, she worked for 5 years to find her signature style. Whilst working with Atif Ali she launched her debut solo album ‘Woh Pal’. Her debut solo album, Woh Pal, consisted of 9 songs of mixed genres. She has launched 5 music videos to accompany her Album

In 2015, Garielle released “Woh Pal” as the lead single for the album. This was then followed up by the Debut Album, also called ‘Woh Pal’ which she launched in 2020.
Arzutra Garielle’s greatest musical influences have been Lata Mangeshkar and Shreya Ghoshal from the East. This is evident in her musical works where she has attempted to adopt the Bollywood style in her own music. Her main western influence is Mariah Carey. She has managed to garner a classy melodic pop sound.
Her music is Bollywood-inspired. Her debut album Woh Pal has various genres: dance, acoustic, ambient lounge & romantic.
