Sanjay Joseph
India
Signature Moon 🌙 Stage
Sanjay Joseph is an Indian guitarist, composer and instrumental artist whose music moves between contemporary blues, jazz and atmospheric soundscapes. Known for a fluid, expressive guitar style, he has worked across independent music, studio projects and collaborations with artists including A.R. Rahman, Louis Banks and Ranjit Barot. His 2016 album Shibumi captures that range through melodic, largely instrumental pieces that balance blues phrasing with jazz-inflected harmony and spacious arrangements. Tracks such as Mahalaxmi, Foursatch and Lullaby showcase his ability to make the guitar feel cinematic without losing its intimacy. More recent releases include instrumental interpretations such as Aaj Main Upar. At Ziro, expect a set built around tone, touch and improvisation, with Sanjay using the guitar not simply as a lead instrument, but as a storyteller.
