The Bombay Vikings are a band formed in 1994 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Bombay Vikings consist of musicians Mats Nordenborg, Neeraj Shridhar and Oscar Soderberg . The band was born out of a common interest – a love for Indian melodies - be they in Hindi films or Classical Music.

His personal pop album list contains title like: - Kya Soorat Hai, Woh Chali, Chodd Do Anchal, Zara Nazron Se Keh Do.

In India Bombay Vikings shot to fame with the song Kya Soorat Hai a couple of years ago. An impressive remix of the original Zaroorat Hai, the new version topped the charts, thanks to some innovative Hinglish lyrics, a cool video and some impressive singing. A year later, Woh Chali followed — and became a huge hit and stayed on top for a remarkable number of weeks, though the song was much slower compared to Kya Soorat Hai. But Jambola made up for the loss and a surprise third hit from the album was Angel Eyes. In 2006, Bombay Vikings reached a top positions on the charts in India with Zara Nazron Se Kehdo, which was produced and mixed by Soundism.

Bombay Vikings is a reputed name in Indian pop with significant number of music albums, most of which are remix of the old Indian melodies.
