Bombay Vikings http://www.bombayvikings.com were formed in 1994 in Stockholm, Sweden. They are known for their Indian top hit song Zara Nazron Se Kehdo, by music producers Soundism. Mats introduced Neeraj Shridhar to Oscar Soderberg . This brought together three very talented musicians- each experienced in his own field. The band was born primarily because all the musicians shared one interest in common –the love for Indian melodies- be it in Hindi films or Classical Music.

Neeraj Sridhar with his voice control, diction and sheer range became sound vocals base. His ability to pull strings on the guitar and to compose and write songs – ranging from pop rock, jazz, hip-hop, soul and reggae- took the band to a higher plane.

Mats – the man with tremendous lungpower-brought in the rich sounds of the saxophone. Mats a specialist in jazz, used this knowledge to profit while composing for the new band.

Mats and Johan Folke, a Keyboard specialist used their years of exposure to the different genre of music to work magic on the keys of the synthesizer.

The band was soon joined by Morgan on the drums, Par on the bass and Staffan as a Lead guitarist.

Bombay Vikings were now complete and begin performance live all over Sweden and Norway. When all the musicians got together and began jamming, little did they know that they would be coming out with a new form of music. But the thirst to do something creative for the India- the land of their preferred brand of music – was always there.
