About Suraaj Parab 

Suraaj Parab is an internationally recognized composer, pianist, bassist, and author whose emotionally rich soundscapes blend Indian classical tradition with cinematic and neo-classical elements.

His work has resonated on global stages—from live performances at iconic venues like NCPA Mumbai to international film festivals and music showcases across continents.

As an author, Suraaj draws from the same emotional wellspring that fuels his music, writing deeply introspective narratives that echo the themes present in his compositions—of love separated by distance, the ache of unspoken words, and the spiritual solitude of artists.

His collaborative approach has led to soul-stirring projects with renowned artists around the world, including the award-winning music video Usavat, created with GRAMMY-winning Iranian santoor maestro Hamid Saeidi. The piece earned accolades at the Pune Short Film Festival, Bangkok Movie Awards, and the Kodaikanal International Film Festival, cementing his voice as a storyteller of the human condition.

Fluent in the universal language of emotion, Suraaj composes in Spanish, Arabic, Italian, Marathi, and more—each song carrying a distinct emotional clarity and cultural nuance. His cross-continental soundscape is both global and intimate, reflecting a deep reverence for heritage and human connection.

Whether at the piano, the bass, or behind the pen, Suraaj Parab creates from a place of sincerity and soul. In both music and literature, he offers listeners and readers a sanctuary—an invitation to pause, reflect, and feel.
