Born and raised in New Delhi, India, she grew up in a household where her parents were doctors. Her love for music began in the 6th grade when her mother bought her a Sony MP3 Walkman. "I used to download songs every day and had a playlist of almost 1,000 tracks," she recalls. This early passion for music led her to join her school's orchestra band, "Dhwani," as a choir member. She fondly remembers spending her days in the music room, often skipping classes to immerse herself in the vibrant world of music. "It was beautiful to spend my time surrounded by musicians, listening to the sitar, guitar, drums, and various percussion," she said. Little did she know that this auditory training would pave the way for her to become an inspiring techno artist, courageously blending Indian classical sounds with the hard energy of techno.

During her days at the School of Planning and Architecture, she stumbled upon the mesmerizing world of psytrance. "My friend Karthikeyan introduced me to Shpongle one evening, and I was spellbound, playing their music on an endless loop," she reminisces. As she navigated her final year of architecture, her workspace was filled with the entrancing beats of Charlotte De Witte, the pioneering sounds of Kraftwerk, and the hypnotic rhythms of Astrix and Mandragora, all of which became the soundtrack to her creative journey. Later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, her mother gifted her a DDJ 400 and a MIDI keyboard, marking the beginning of her career as a DJ and music producer. In 2024, Prerna released her debut EP, "90's Acid," showcasing her experiments with acid sounds, industrial tunes, and a distinct Indian vibe.

Before embarking on her journey to the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London for a master's in Innovation Design Engineering, she carved her niche in the vibrant techno scenes of Delhi and Jaipur. After arriving in London, she collaborated with curators to craft unique sets for exhibitions and queer parties, her music weaving seamlessly through the fabric of each event. Her talent echoed beyond borders, gracing the renowned clubs of London—E1, EGG London, and Venue MOT—each performance a testament to her evolving artistry.
