Caesar Roosevelt
Caesar Roosevelt is a captivating figure in the realm of alternative and soft rock music, seamlessly blending the worlds of music and mysticism. Born Sangam Kumar Tirkey in the enchanting town of Port Blair, nestled in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India, Caesar's journey into the depths of creativity and spirituality began amidst the whispers of wind and the rustle of leaves, which seemed to speak to him in melodies and magic.
A true master storyteller in the realm of music, Caesar Roosevelt's songs resonate with raw emotion, introspection, and a profound connection to the human experience.

In 2022, Caesar Roosevelt released his acclaimed album "Lonely Hours," catapulting him to success and earning him the moniker "God Of Paradise" from his devoted fanbase.
But beyond the melodies lies another dimension to Caesar Roosevelt's life—a realm of mysticism, magic, and spiritual exploration. As a dedicated practitioner of witchcraft and the occult, he draws from a rich tapestry of ancient knowledge and esoteric wisdom. Raised in a family with a legacy of Tantra practice, Caesar's journey into the occult began at a young age, driven by a desire to honour his grandfather's heritage and dispel misconceptions surrounding witchcraft.
Intrigued by the mystical traditions of Ancient India, Caesar found himself drawn to its rich heritage of texts, folklore, and tantra. Spending countless hours immersed in research, he delved into the depths of ancient Indian history, exploring the true essence of Tantra and the Kamasutra.
For Caesar Roosevelt, the synergy between his music and his mystical practices is nothing short of magical. He views his creative process as a sacred ritual, drawing inspiration from ancient Indian texts and infusing his songs with the wisdom he uncovers.
Through his music and his practice of witchcraft, Caesar empowers his audience to embrace their individuality and tap into their inner magic. His message is one of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and the boundless potential of the human spirit.
As he continues his journey, Caesar Roosevelt remains committed to pushing the boundaries of his craft. Currently working on his second studio album and his first book detailing his transformation after becoming a devotee of Goddess Hecate, he continues to delve deeper into the mystical tapestry of existence, sharing his discoveries with an ever-growing audience.
