This week we'll spend time with Pooja, Noah and Wallace - the trio known as Koyal (like "Royal" but with a "K") who are generating incredible tracks and cookin with gasoline.

Now LA-based, Koyal is an indie pop-rock trio from ATL on the rise, composed of lead vocalist Pooja Prabakaran, guitarist/producer Noah Weinstein, and drummer Wallace. Formed in their college basement, the trio’s friendship and musical chemistry have propelled them forward, steadily building a loyal fanbase and a diverse discography ranging from soft acoustic to main stage disco-pop. In 2024, Koyal released three new disco and dance-infused singles “intoxicated,” “gasoline,” and “lotus lake,” which are off their sophomore studio album, breathe in. breathe out, out now.
