Surjo is a singer-songwriter/guitarist from Jamshedpur, India. Jamshedpur is a small industrial town with a plethora of engineers and engineering being the overwhelmingly popular choice for collegiate studies and a profession. For the longest time, Surjo followed the populace and also went about making inroads into the engineering dream. All the while underneath it though were seeds planted from when he was 17, that he should perhaps pursue being a professional musician. When push came to shove, Surjo decided to forego his job after graduation and made his decision to be a professional musician. That was in 2010. In the many intervening years, Surjo has had to undergo many changes personally and musically, all so he could mostly just survive and occasionally thrive in the music business. His debut album 'The Key Has Turned' in 2014 was well-received opened a few doors for him which in turn caused him to shift base from Jamshedpur to Kolkata, where he has been for the last 4 years. His journey is unique in his penchant for choosing the tougher path and his abhorrence for what is considered the mainstream way to success. Perhaps with a more agreeable attitude he would have earned more societal and mainstream approval. Nevertheless, his belief system has held him in good stead so far and will probably continue to do so in the future. As he says, 'my greatest talent is that I'm like a cockroach, nuclear bomb bhi fatega to main nahi marunga'. The quintessential survivor.
