Khatth

Khatth (meaning ‘letter’) is an independent band from Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, formed in the summer of 2019 by Aditya Atmakuri, Ashutosh Verma, and Satyam Nayak. The trio, based out of different cities and known for a sound that ranges from acoustic love ballads to disco-inspired pop numbers, merges their differences to craft music that is emotionally resonant, sonically diverse, and unmistakably their own. Their emotionally resonant music videos further strengthened their growing fanbase and visual identity. Blending introspective songwriting with layered production, Khatth draws influence from Jon Bellion, Sufjan Stevens, and Strings. Their past releases, including Bahane, Peher, and Kaayar, were spotlighted by Rolling Stone India, Rock Street Journal, and Red FM. Despite being in different cities, they meet annually in a chosen city and studio to record three songs, then perform live shows there to immediately test and reflect on their work through audience reactions.
