Pulpy Shilpy

Pulpy Shilpy is the electronic avatar of Pune-based singer/songwriter Gowri Jayakumar, who also fronts freak funk quartet Run Pussy Run. With her roots in soul, jazz and wordplay, she is known for her unique and versatile methods of storytelling and performance. She released her debut hip hop single 'Kaadal Mannan' last year to rave reviews, with Rolling Stone India describing the song as her "feminist fiercest". Gowri was a journalist for seven years (2006-2012) after which she studied music for ten months at Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music. She began playing guitar at the age of 15, and that's how it all began.
