Sujata Roy is a British-Indian singer and songwriter based in London. Raised in Calcutta by her musical family and steeped in the Bengali Folk Music tradition, her focus moved to Pop and Rock soon after she settled in England.
Inspired by Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Aretha Franklin, George Harrison and her own cross-cultural upbringing, Sujata’s songs present a unique fusion of Rock, Pop, Blues and Indian sounds – sitars and tablas with guitars and drums. Her powerful, potent lyrics reflect the challenges of life and honour the human spirit.
On the subject of songwriting, Sujata states “If there’s something I want to say, but can’t for whatever reason – I turn it into a song”.
