"A very accomplished and dynamic guitarist, with a mature stage presence and echoes of a young Ralph McTell."

I'm Just Like You wasn't originally intended for commercial release – it was recorded in homage as an 80th Birthday present for Chris Smither. "I was inspired by Chris from an early age" muses Sunjay. "The first time I watched him on YouTube at the age of 16 (after discovering him via a Bonnie Raitt album) I was transfixed. I remember saying to myself – that's EXACTLY what I want to do. I want to play that style of guitar, sing with that gravelly whiskey soaked voice and write these kinds of thought provoking, intelligent lyrics. AND I want that hairstyle! Then I went and told everyone I knew that I'd found my hero… Soon after, I went to see Chris perform at The Luminaire in London. By chance I happened to be staying in the same place as Chris and ran into him at the bar. We spent some time talking and the next day played a guitar together, a testimony to Chris' natural generous nature. As you can imagine – having met, watched live and played guitar with one of my heroes, I went home in a pretty gleeful state! The next time I saw Chris live, (reminiscent of his experience with Eric Von Schmidt) he asked the venue promoter if I could do three songs to open up the show. Since then I've opened up for Chris several times and had the pleasure of getting to know him.
