2010: Formation & first years

In 2003, Venky and Samar were batchmates in Indian School, Muscat, both of them played guitar and planned to start a band so they got Samar's younger brother, Sanam Puri in the band to join as a singer. After completion of school, they all moved to India for college. Sanam & Samar moved to Delhi and got involved there in the college rock circuits . Sanam Puri started winning awards for his singing and Samar Puri started writing songs. Venky meanwhile in Bangalore, took up bass playing with various bands. He sang acapella in college and started performing swing/jazz and pop standards regularly at clubs. Venky met Keshav (who was the drummer in bands like Nerverek and Buzz Theory) through the college rock circuit and they formed an alternative rock outfit called ‘The Previous Band’. Venky used to travel to Chennai (where the band was based) write songs, rehearse and perform with them. Eventually 2 band members took off to M.I in LA for music education and another member went to SAE in Byron Bay. Thus ended their short stint of ‘The Previous Band'. In 2009, Samar and Sanam moved to Mumbai to pursue a music career. Keshav also took up a job with Furtados as their Brand manager for Zildjian, Evans and Pearl drums. Venky connected the three of them and they hit it off in Keshav’s garage where they started writing music together. In May 2010, Times Music launched a nationwide pop band hunt called ‘Supastars’ for young talent in India. Samar Keshav & Sanam put in an entry randomly in the name of The SQS Project. Over 1600 bands across India took part in this contest. Venky joined them in the final round and amongst all the entries, The SQS Project won the title ‘Times Music Supastars’ and this is how the journey began giving the band a name of ‘SQS Supastars’.

The band released their first self-titled album, Supastars, and later released music videos of their songs "Hawa Hawa" and "Behka". This project featured the work of major Swedish and Denmark music labels who handled the mixing and mastering of the album. The band also endorsed the ‘Mufti’ clothing line during their second music video "Behka".Amongst the band's first performances was the Femina Miss India beauty contest in 2011.

Some of SANAM's best songs...

Main hoon from The Amazing Spiderman...

Mere sapno ki rani...

Gulabi Aankhen...

Hain apna dil toh awara...

Pal pal dil ke paas...

Tere bina zindagi se koi...

Yeh rat bheegi bheegi...

Yeh wadda raha...

O mere dil ke chain...

So, This is not all about the "SANAM".I personally advise you to hear the songs from this Band, and I am sure that you all will enjoy their songs...
