ABOUT THE ARTIST.
Hailing from the quiet town of Solan in Himachal Pradesh, Sutej Singh has
steadily carved out a place as one of India’s most distinctive progressive
rock guitarists and composers. Known for blending technical precision with
cinematic emotion, his music draws inspiration from legends like John
Petrucci, David Gilmour, and Jeff Beck, while evolving a voice uniquely his
own.
Sutej first made waves with his 2018 debut album, The Emerging, which topped
the Apple Music India Rock Charts and featured collaborations with globally
renowned musicians like Peter Henningsson, Scott Higham, Raymond Hearne,
Kylan Amos, and Gina Luciani. The release established him as a rising force
in instrumental rock and caught the attention of guitar aficionados across
the globe.
Now, seven years later, Sutej returns with his second full-length record,
Restless | Relentless — “the work of a man refreshed and ready to take it to
the next level,” as described by Apple Music. While the soaring, cinematic
textures that recall Petrucci and Pink Floyd remain, the album also marks a
bold step forward in artistic identity. The Indian classical-fused lead
single “Kaadambari” and the emotive title track reflect an artist determined
to leave a signature mark — creating music that is as visceral as it is
virtuosic.
Over the past two years, Sutej has played to packed venues and appeared on
some of the country’s most revered festival stages, including Ziro Festival,
Bandland, Oddball Festival, and the legendary Independence Rock Festival. In
2023, he opened for Steve Vai in Bengaluru and Mumbai — a full-circle moment
of recognition and arrival. His performances are immersive, often expanding
beyond the traditional trio setup, and showcase a profound command over live
dynamics and sonic storytelling.
With over 3 million views on Instagram, 1 million+ on YouTube, and an
international following spanning continents, Sutej’s music transcends genre
and geography. As he continues to push the boundaries of progressive rock
with Restless | Relentless, Sutej Singh stands tall as one of India’s most
compelling musical exports — equal parts composer, craftsman, and
storyteller.
