Sanjoy

Artist

Transitioning from a Bollywood music producer into a mainstream pop artist, Sanjoy successfully fuses his South Asian influences with western ones to create his own worldly take on contemporary pop.

Born and raised Hindu in Bangladesh, at age 11, his family moved to San Jose, California to escape religious persecution. In his teen years, Sanjoy preoccupied his time with a laptop, making beats using Reason and Ableton Live. Mash-ups and spinning came naturally and years later, while carving out a niche in his twenties, he was offered a chance to work with Sunidhi Chauhan, a popular Playback singer in Bollywood.

The two collaborated on the single “Ab Laut Aa,” and the song became a viral sensation, introducing Sanjoy’s electronic edge to the inner circle of the Indian film industry. Over the years, his trademark style became a common thread of Bollywood cinema, as he teamed with music director veterans to score a series of movies.

Riding this wave of success, Sanjoy set his sights on American Top 40 and Dance radio. During this time, he readied his debut Dance Under the Influence; a full-length, multi-vocalist outing that showcased his production skills and featured the first hit to crack the Billboard charts, “Slip Away”.

Directly on the heels of 2016, Sanjoy recorded two more singles, OBVI and Shangri-La. Each continued his proclivity for cross-hatching genres by including Bollywood influences, but skillfully coalesced a dance-friendly, mainstream pop format as well.
