we are motherjane.

Every band has a story, and ours is made special by the fact that we have always been a brotherhood of possibilities. What started out as an exploratory foray with wanting to put out original music in a scene filled with covers turned into epic journey that has charted decades and brought us fans from across the country.

 

2 Albums, 3 singles and countless hours of blood, sweat, tears, laughter and music later, today we embark on the next leg of our journey with a whole new album in the making. 
Join us, for it is written, and by your hands it is rewritten!

Suraj Mani

Lyrics & Vocal

​

The Singing Sensei
A critically acclaimed musician, Suraj is the lyricist/songwriter/ frontman of the legendary Indian band motherjane. Affectionately called India’s Rock Poet, Suraj’s lyrics break the barrier between rock and poetry and craft the quintessential motherjane experience. He also runs a very successful business in what he calls the noblest profession – keeping people cool aka Airconditioning.

Mr. Silk & Steel

Smooth as silk on the surface and tough as steel inside – Deepu is the rhythmic & harmonic backing of the band, handling both the rhythm guitar as well as backing vocals for motherjane. Under his serene demeanour lies the heart of a comedian that offers a smile everywhere he goes.
