Diptanshu Roy, aka Dolinman is perhaps the first Bluegrass mandolin player from India, and his renditions of Bengali folk melodies highlight unlikely parallels between the folk traditions of Bengal and Appalachia. He also plays European and other Indian folk styles on the mandolin. He has collaborated with several folk artists and is well acclaimed for his incredible musicianship.
He has played in many popular film scores including Piku, Nirbaak, The Bongs Again, Neellohit, Praktan and Pariah Dog. Diptanshu has a great fan following for his outstanding musicality. He is the founder of Folkpick, a VLOG archiving folk styles of India. He is the co-founder of bands Fiddler's Green, NSA, Bemanan, & Two Macha.
His ongoing project is Dolinman X, which is a series of live recordings in collaboration with musicians from different musical backgrounds and it has been very well received.
Diptanshu is also a composer and music producer, creating music for blogs, films and advertisements.
