Biography

Sanjo the Balladeer is a professional singer based out of the capital city of Telangana, Hyderabad. The versatile and experienced singer has more than 30 years of experience in the music industry and has performed at many college festivals, concerts, and private events. He is a thinker, artist and a creative personality. Sanjo isn’t one of those regular artists who goes up on stage and performs a set list of unrelated songs. Every concert is an idea and a clear theme running through it. And more often than not, there is a strong message emanating from each show. Sanjo has a remarkably popular program titled ‘The Songs of The Balladeer’ and comprises a mix of music and storytelling; the stories are about the songs, the artists and about behind-the-scenes trivia about the songs. The format is very interactive with a lot of audience participation. The show encompasses themes ranging from love, dating and the battle-of-the- sexes (the show is called ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’) to the more thought-provoking ‘The Power of Protest Songs’. ‘The Songs of The Balladeer’ shows started sometime in the winter of 2000 and continued for around five years till Sanjo took a break to work on his first album (Barson Huey). The shows resumed from early 2005 and continue till date.
