Sanjay’s musical journey started in the late ’80s when he played with one of the few Indian original music bands singing in English, the Les Boys. Later, he joined Rock Machine, which was renamed Indus Creed. These bands were hugely popular and played at almost all major concert venues in India. Sanjay was also featured in a special video on Doordarshan, the National Network, where he played drums and sang the song 21st Century. The video was aired for six years consecutively.

In between numerous concerts and a graduation in Commerce, Sanjay won a theatre acting award for the English adaptation of the Greek Sophocles “Antigone” from Mumbai University. However, he decided to turn down theatre offers and pursue his passion for music.

In 1994, Sanjay joined Divya, India’s premier Indo-Jazz fusion band, where he got the opportunity to perform at major international jazz festivals alongside Jazz greats such as Giovanni Hidalgo, Dave Valentin, Ernie Watts, and Eric Marienthal. Sanjay considers composer and keyboardist Dinshah Sanjana, who headed the band, as his musical guru. Dinshah taught Sanjay the nuances of dynamics and time signatures that were a rarity at the time.

Talking about his recent work, Sanjay Maroo, told us about his recent single, “Holding On”.

Sanjay released his much-anticipated track “Holding On” on the 27th of April 2023. The R & B ballad coveys a deeply routed philosophy of faith and reflects all the experiences and ups and downs he has gone through in his journey. The song urges people to keep holding on and never give up.

The truly unique video was shot in the surreal locales of the Joshua Tree National Park in California by renowned DOP Christopher Pearson.

With the current surge in mental issues and suicide rates globally, Sanjay Maroo felt the need to put out this track which hopes to inspire those suffering to face realities with the message of Holding On!
