Susmit Sen Chronicles

Susmit Sen, founder of India's premier fusion rock band, Indian Ocean, has an illustrious music career spanning 30 years. When he founded Indian Ocean in 1990, there was no pan-Indian band writing original music. Over the next few years, Indian Ocean's musical sensibility was led by Sen's compositions and unique guitar playing inspired by Indian classical and folk. What followed was a sensation. Indian Ocean toured more than twenty countries, produced six albums over the next two decades, and played a kind of music never heard before: an Indian expression using mostly Western instruments, anchored by Susmit's self-taught guitar.

By the time he came out with his first solo album in collaboration with some of the most renowned musicians in India (Depths of the Ocean, 2011), and then parted ways with Indian Ocean, Susmit had inspired a few generations.

He continues to innovate, working with his current band, Susmit Sen Chronicles, as well as a variety of other musicians and artists to convey what's most important to him: expression. This is guitar like you've never heard before!
