Having grown up in six different countries, his career has been shaped by a mixture of influences. Saran's intricate compositions fuse sounds from modern jazz, neo-soul, and rock with classical and contemporary Indian music. In October 2021, Saran independently released his second full-length album and fourth overall release titled inglish – a groundbreaking work that explores concepts of assimilation, global identity, and native culture. Pitchfork described inglish as "a heartfelt exploration of the ups and downs of being part of the world's fastest-growing floating tribe—part global citizen, part cultural refugee," and named the album to its list of Best Jazz and Experimental Music of 2021. DownBeat described inglish as a "scintillating musical brew," and awarded the album three and a half stars. Before moving to New York City to start his music career, Saran studied at Berklee College of Music, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance. During this stage of his life, Saran was developing his craft, gaining opportunities to collaborate with artists such as A.R. Rahman, and establishing friendships and connections who would later in life become bandmates and collaborators. In 2017, Saran made his critically acclaimed debut with the release of Hmayra, and later followed up with H.A.D.D. (2018), and Becoming (2019). Throughout his career as a recording artist, each release has represented a different introspection for Saran. His newest album inglish, entirely written, arranged, and produced by Saran, is a big step forward as an artist and composer. After releasing Becoming in late 2019, Saran and his seven-piece band toured briefly in the United States and India, and upon returning to the U.S. were faced with what became the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown. During this time, Saran quickly began writing and recording demos for what would ultimately transform into inglish. The new album explores new musical territory, as Saran incorporates predominant Indian and Middle Eastern instruments for the first time, while expanding the use of modular synthesizers in the momentous arrangements. Throughout his life, having to assimilate into different cultures has been a common occurrence for Saran, and inglish is a reflection of that progression and evolution. "I wanted to find a metaphor for this idea of existing in the world where you're trying to navigate a global culture while at the same navigating your own culture and home culture," he says. Managing changes in culture and language has been a repeat experience for the Indian artist, who has spent time living around the world in places like New Delhi, Dhaka, Cairo, Geneva, Toronto, Boston, and New York City. ________________________________________ Follow/Support/Stream Shubh’s Music: Youtube:    / @shubhsaran   Facebook:   / shubhsaranmusic   Instagram:   / shubhsaran   Website: http://www.shubhsaran.com/ _________________________________________ Don’t get tired of your social media addiction, instead give us a Follow: https://linktr.ee/musicstaan #shubhsaran #musicaljourney #musicstaan #podcast #artist
