Soumya is the second generation from a family of famous musicians. His father, Sudhin Das Gupta, is a legend in the Bengali music industry and is revered in the community. He was one of the first musicians to have successfully fused western and Indian music in Bengali music and considered to be a trendsetter. The vast body of his works is difficult to be showcased here. His untimely demise at the age of 52 in 1982 left a huge void in the music industry.
