Sanjoy

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 him to San Jose, California to escape religious persecution. For his teen years in the States, Sanjoy preoccupied his time with a laptop, making beats using Reason and Ableton Live. Mash-ups and spinning records came naturally and years later, while carving out a niche as a DJ 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 quickly became a viral sensation, introducing Sanjoy’s electronic edge to the inner circle of the Indian film industry. Over the next few years, his trademark style became a common thread of Bollywood cinema, as he teamed with composition duo Salim-Sulaiman and music director Pritam to score a series of movies and projects. Riding this wave of success, Sanjoy signed with Sony/RED and 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 EDM production skills and featured his first hit to crack the Billboard charts, “Slip Away”. Directly on the heels of the 2016 release, Sanjoy recorded two more singles, “Obvious” and “Shangri-La”. Each continued his proclivity for cross-hatching genres by including Bollywood influences, but skillfully coalesced a dance-friendly, mainstream, blue-eyed pop format as well. ~ Jason Lymangrover, iHeart Bookings and Inquiries: [email protected] Music: www.soundcloud.com/sanjoy Twitter: www.twitter.com/sanjoyd Instagram: www.instagram.com/sanjoyd
