The sound that Amit Roy spins, described as "a melody that shines like silver," is sometimes gentle, sometimes intense, flows like a river, and envelops like a forest. The dynamic tabla accompanies the sitar melody, sometimes shaking the soul, and takes you on a new journey of Indian music.

He further studied under the late Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, an internationally active sitar master, and lived with him until his death in 1987, receiving traditional musical training. He then studied under Annapurna Devi, who was Pandit Nikhil Banerjee's teacher.
