Born in Bangladesh, Sajeeb Saha - the force behind the indie-electronic Jai Wolf project - bounced around quite a bit before finally settling in New York City. "I called Bangladesh, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York all my home before I turned 15."
Regardless of his changing environments, he kept his music studies consistent. "I started violin at age 5 and continued to learn until the end of High School," says Saha. However, once he had earned his spot in the New York All State Orchestra, he felt he had gone as far as he wanted to with the violin. He wanted something new. "Originally my parents didn't want me to listen to anything except for traditional Bengali and classical music - they were afraid I'd lose my roots. But by the time I was a teenager, they became accepting of American music, and I began my exploration."
