““Some musicians have music thrust upon them and I peculiarly fall into that category. You see, I got ragged in engineering college and that incident precipitated my first public performance. The repercussions have been life-changing as it opened a different side of myself, it has freed me in so many ways,” says Suraj Mani.”

“Going solo has opened a Pandora’s Box as far as Suraj Mani’s musical prowess is considered; the instrumentation is diverse across songs, which lets him add a funky flavour in the alternative 'Rise Up' and even tend towards the growl in the heavy-metal-ish 'Money'. Check out my favourite off the album - 'Some Doors Have Opened', a refreshing single with catchy hooks and a pleasing solo.”

“I came with a friend who aptly remarked that it was a gig attended by people fond of reminiscing. For someone who’s been in the industry for such a long time as Suraj Mani, it was less of a concert and more of connecting with the crowd and engaging them in the performance”

“The album is unique in many ways – it is a combination of a music album and an illustrated coffee-table book. “This album has a small story based on important moments of my life. It chronicles a man’s journey through different phases until he reaches his destination. It has nine songs, all on current topics. The essence of the songs go hand in hand with the essence of the journey,” says Suraj.”

“The Tattva Trip is the musical travelogue of a global citizen on a mythical journey that unfolds before him. Join Suraj Mani, the Singing Sensei as he recaptures and recreates the quest of a man who seeks what he senses has been denied to him and his generation. An experience that truly engages you on multiple levels, this combination of a music album and illustrated coffee table book, is a collector’s delight that fans will cherish for its sheer uniqueness & makes for a perfect gift. Features 9 journeys, 9 thoughts & 9 songs that come alive in prose, poetry, art & music. Join Suraj Mani, India’s very own Singing Sensei as he recaptures and recreates the quest of a man who seeks what he senses has been denied to him and his generation.”

““The stories talk about one’s personal journey through life, the nine stages that they go through in metaphorical terms, while the album features songs about contemporary life, the life of today,” says Mani, adding, “The book is made of recycled paper and has nice artwork. The stories and the songs of the album are parallel.””

““This album happened because I decided to focus on doing what I could and leave the rest to God and you guys out there. It’s something that I’ve had fun with and I'll be happy when it means something to the people it finally reaches”.”

"Life inspires me. I write about things as I see them and sometimes how I’d like to see them. I tend to read a lot of stuff and veer towards zen, art, human psychology, marketing etc. I guess all that shows."

“Rock, to me; is a democratic form of music where everybody is welcome. It has space for all kinds of people, voices, viewpoints and quirks. Musically it is a genre that embraces contradictions enthusiastically and without apology, ergo its wide following amongst the youth and those young at heart.”
