Suraj Jagan (born in Trichur, Kerasla), is best known as one of the pioneers of the Rock scene in India. In 1988, Suraj got his first gig with a Jazz Rock band called ‘Aurora’ and he played just a single show with them. Following this, Suraj founded the Rock band ‘Krysys’ in 1989. The
band won several competitions in college fests all over India, including
‘Best Vocalist’ at Mood Indigo (IIT Powai). Krysys underwent several
lineup changes and finally disbanded in 1993. Suraj moved to
Hongkong in 1993, and founded ‘Matchbox’, a Beatles cover band, with ex
‘Rock Machine’ drummer Mark Menezes. Suraj finally returned to Mumbai in early 1995 andwas offered to be part of ‘Chakraview’, a band which was founded by
Dhruv Ghanekar (Blue Frog). As a band,
Chakraview only performed their original compositions which were rare in
the 90’s in India, but finally disbanded in 1997 as the founding
members left to study music in the US. Between 1997 and 2006 Suraj was part
of rock bands like 'AFS' & 'Spyrals' as the lead vocalist. Spyrals won
the ‘Great Indian Rock competition’ in 1997. Suraj also founded ‘The
Orchid Room Experiment’, which was as its name describes, an experiment,
where several musicians with different musical styles composed &
performed together. Finally Suraj founded a Rock band Dream Out Loud in
2006 but disbanded on 2009 due to Suraj & Chandresh’s hectic
schedules. Now he works in advertising jingle campaigns, Bollywood playback
singing, acting in theatre productions and an acting role in the
Bollywood film.
