About Me

Sunil K Chopra's music breaks down all boundaries between musical genres and styles, or at least ignores them and all other social conventions and preconceptions of what pop music should be.
His music is melodic yet dark, hard-edged yet mellow, light-hearted, but with the lyrical depth of a poet-prophet. He plays every intrument he hears, sings every harmony in his head... his music is everything and nothing all at once.
