Reeya Banerjee is a songwriter and storyteller based in Whippany, NJ by way of New York’s Hudson Valley, Brooklyn, and Chattanooga. Her music weaves personal experience into lush, emotionally resonant songs rooted in narrative. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, U2, and 90s power pop, she creates music that spans grief, healing, mental health, and finding meaning in memory. A Pushcart Prize nominee and Staff Writer for Story Screen Presents, she brings a literary sensitivity and cinematic lens to her songwriting.

Her upcoming album, This Place, is a journey through the geography of identity, where each city represents a different emotional truth.  Her previous release, The Way Up, chronicles mental health journeys with fearless honesty.

With thoughtful arrangements and a voice that is both intimate and commanding, Reeya brings audiences into her world with warmth, honesty, and unforgettable hooks.
