Agniva Baisya is a Kolkata-based singer-songwriter and designer. A pianist since childhood, he began composing and writing songs during his university years. Musically intuitive, he can play almost any piece by ear. A francophone at heart, he is deeply attached to his French life and sees himself as a pendulum between France and Bengal. His artistic vision is shaped by the music of Rabindranath Tagore, the songs of Francis Cabrel—which accompanied him on his journey to mastering French—and the poetry of Bob Dylan, which profoundly influences his inner world. Guided by the inspiration of his father, Animesh Baisya, an author and poet, Agniva believes in love and freedom above all, finding their truest expression in music. He is committed to pioneering Franco-Bengali collaborations, exploring a territory still largely untouched.
