While most young Indian musicians were happy sounding exactly like their American heroes, Remo brought an Indian element to his music with his Sitar/Guitar, and taught himself to play the Indian flute.Īfter graduation, Remo returned to Goa and immersed himself in its once famous Hippie culture. Mumbai being one of the few cities in India at the time with a niche audience for Rock Music, he played in concerts and venues such as Shanmukhnanda Hall, Rang Bhavan, and in all the major college campuses of Bombay. He continued writing his own songs, playing solo or playing with different bands including one of India's top most recording artists, 'The Savages'. His love affair with music continued, often bunking classes to work on his technique, when he figured out a way to tune and play the guitar to make it sound like the Indian sitar. After graduating from school Remo went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Architecture from the city of Mumbai. He wrote his first songs around this time, at age 14, winning 1st prizes in all-Goa competitions for best composer, best vocalist, and best lead guitarist.

"After about a decade of going crazy over Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, The Shadows, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, one of the greatest influences in my life was the psychedelic music of the 70s, especially the movie 'Woodstock', which I watched over and over again.

Although brought up in a Catholic family, Remo says 'When I turned 18, I started thinking for myself and I realised that god is beyond religion.'

His Hindi pop/rock and film songs became instant hits with the Indian masses, earning him Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum Discs. His compositions in English, reflecting life and socio-political happenings in India with which every Indian could identify, became popular largely with the growing, English-educated, Indian middle class. Writing and singing songs in English made his success more rare and distinctive in the context of the Bollywood-dominated, Hindi language-based, occasionally even disco music scene that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Such influences include Goan and Portuguese music, Sega music from Mauritius and Seychelles, African music, Latin music from Spain and South America, the music of erstwhile European communist states, those of the dancehalls from Jamaica and Soca from Trinidad and Tobago.
