There are at least four artists sharing the name Surya. 1). a French jazz-rockfusion super-group; 2). a dutch Hip-Hop rapper; 3). an Indian Hip-Hop producer.; 4). a Brazilian singer, songwriter, actress and writer. 1) Surya was a French jazz-rock fusion super-group who existed 1977 to 1979. The initial band was formed by Didier Lockwood (violins) and Jean-My Truong (drums) after they quit ZAO in March 1977. Completing the original line-up was Francis Lockwood (keyboards), Luc Plouton (synths) and Dominique Bertram (bass). The initial sessions were to be issued as an LP for RCA in May 1977 due to Truong's involvement with Balance, yet that never happened. Bassists came and went, with Bunny Brunel taking over for a while before being replaced by Sylvain Marc. In August 1977 they recorded their sole album at Studio Damiens in Paris, and searched for a label to release it. After Tapioca advertised "Surya" (TP 10019) as a forthcoming release when no contract had been signed a legal case ensued and delayed the album's release until it eventually appeared on Corelia in 1979. 2) Surya (1984) is a dutch rapper from the city of Amsterdam. In 2004 he started battling on open stages, and since 2005 he has won most of them. In 2007 he won the annual edition of Most Wanted with his group 'De Veelplegers'. At the moment he is planning a mixtape 'Nieuw Amsterdam' containing talented, unknown MC's from Amsterdam. His own album 'Suryalisme' has been released in November 2019. 3). Surya is an Indian Hip-Hop producer from Hong Kong. 4). Born Surya Amitrano in 1996, in Curitiba, Brazil, SURYA is a singer, songwriter, actress and writer.
