MUMBAI: In the currently musically vibrant atmosphere, new talent, new thoughts are welcomed with open arms. 24 year old Sooraj Bishnoi is one of the youngest, creative talents. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger, Sooraj brings in fresh musical thoughts.
After the recent success of his two songs Nemesis (February 2017) and City Beat (4 December 2018) gathering a whopping two lakh+ views on YouTube, Sooraj released his debut 11 track album Here We Go earlier this week! City Beat received 1,00,000+ views alone in a span of two weeks.
Sooraj shares his feelings, “Here We Go is an 11-song LP that is a culmination of five years’ worth of writing and playing music. It’s my debut album, and is a snapshot of my musical journey.”

According to him, the USP of the album is its hummability, “I think the USP of the album is songs that will never get out of your head. These are songs that people can hum in the street, in shower, in bus, songs that mean something to people, and make their everyday lives just a little better on listening to them.”
When asked about what the songs on Here We Go are about, Sooraj said, “The themes for most of the songs are basically observations and experiences of life that I’ve seen along the way and a few of them are about the whole game of love and lust. I like observing and writing about situations and the lessons I’ve learned from them. It makes me see the world in a very different way.”
The album has released and the response is positive, however, Sooraj already has his future plans set, “ My immediate future plan is touring for the album. And of course, I am going to continue writing and making new music!”
What is life without big dreams? Sooraj’s dream confirms the former statement. “My biggest and ultimate dream is to win a Grammy. Also, I want to sing in front of an audience of ten thousand, all singing my songs along with me.” Great going!
Sooraj Bishnoi performed with a whole band setup at Above the Habitat in Mumbai on 4 January 2018. He was supported by Aarya Gadkari, who also recently released an EP.
