Soli..The Man..The Singer..The Composer...

The Man…

A science graduate of distinction in Synthetic Textile Chemistry, Soli trained vigorously in classical vocal music under the tutelage of veteran musicians like Pt. Phiroze Dastur and Pt. Ajay Pohankar of the Kirana Gharana.

The world of music beckoned and Soli left his hometown Surat to adopt music as his profession in the megapolis of Bombay.

Soli’s Parsee heritage has given him a humble grace that seems to emanate from somewhere deep within him.

It is his inflexible willpower and his ferocious appetite for hard work that has made him what he is today—an achiever.


The Singer…

This soft, dulcet-voiced singer performs with a mellow maturity that belies his youth. Soli’s astounding repertoire ranges from intricate classics to the more popular light compositions. An able exponent of Old & New Film Songs, Hindi & Urdu Ghazals, he is equally at ease with ethnic music, devotional songs and lilting jingles. He is a brilliant performer for Popular Rajasthani Folk songs. In his relentless quest for excellence, Soli has won rave reviews with audiences in most major cities of India. He has been invited for solo concerts in the Middle East, U.K., Europe, Russia and USA.


The Composer...



Creativity is his middle name.

Few composers show the willingness to rise above stereotyped confines and display the innovative spirit which links traditional and contemporary art. Soli is endowed with a rare creative genius that recognizes the pathos of the lyrics and translates it into a perfect musical expression, his forte being offbeat melodies and tunes based on classical ragas. He lays emphasis on proper application of voice patterns and correct pronunciation with equal scope for innovation- a must for any good composer.
