The humble youngster shared his feeling with Dhaka Tribune: “I have taken initiative to participate in this tough competition to prove myself and also make a platform for my musical career. It is difficult for a novice musician to start career in this industry. All throughout the competition, I have sung songs of different renowned artists as it was the rule. I have many songs composed and written by me, I will soon start working on compiling all my own work.”
“I don’t have any professional training as such, I don’t believe in musical grammar and its use. I believe in the sound that comes from deep inside the soul. I Idolise Bob Marley, Jim Morisson, Dire Straits and from home I admire James, Azam Khan, Firoza Begum and many others.”
“My maternal grandfather is a baul devotee and his music inspired me to step into the world of music. Starting from this traditional genre, I have listened to almost all the musical genres and learned to appreciate music in general.”
He was chosen as the title holder from an ensemble of six finalists - Sajal, Bely, Raju, Cornia, Iva and Shami. All the talented youngsters have paved their path to the grand finale by facing challenging and demanding rounds of competition.
