In 2008 I met Suraj Mani he and his band Motherjane were just about to release Maktub that went on to bring band International Acclaim and countless awards.
Suraj knew I was passionate about promoting music and asked me to adopt the band and take on the persona of Motherjane Angel who shared the message of his lyrics and the band's music with the world. I soon became known as "The Angel" aka Rock's Guardian Angel both with Motherjane fans and other Indie bands and fans for my work in sharing the message of Rock Music with the World from countries where rock music is often not accepted and even banned.
Much time has passed Maktub line-up I was so passionate in promoting, Suraj and Baiju have gone on to successful solo careers. The band has reinvented themselves with new members, a new sound as well as a new vision and I still manage the fan page I created in 2008 that embraces past, present and future as well as all things that rock.

“Insane Biography dropped in on the then-underground Indian originals scene in 2002 to receive great acclaim.It wasn’t every day that Indian rock delivered such a well-produced album of originals.” – Rolling Stone India

progressive delivery that shapes and gives new meaning to progressive rock.” - RSJ India
“The first time I listened to Motherjane’s Maktub I was fascinated by the mix of Western and Eastern sounds in it: rock riffs, and atmospheric, vaguely ethnic passages. Also the song theme reminded me of ancient gods and Asian markets in a prog rock sauce. Then I learned that these musicians were from India and all was clear to me. Actually there are many different worlds in this song and many different influences.”–Prog Rock Lil Place
“The packed Palace Grounds venue had the right atmosphere to get the band members sizzling on stage. The
mood was perfect, the setting just right for Motherjane..” – The Hindu’s review of a Motherjane gig.
