Iam a professional folk singer, lyricist and composer. I am singing Bhawaiya and other folk songs since 1993. Grown up in a family with traditional music background, I began my journey as a singer at the age of seven and and at eight I stood first in the State Level Bhawaiya Competition in 1994.

Afterwards its second volume with the same name was published.I became a radio artist in AIR Siliguri and also performed in Doordarshan for several times.

For the contribution in the field of folk song, I was awarded with "Sudhiprodhan Puroskar" by the Govt. of West Bengal. In 2020, 'Sonar Jibon'- a Bhawaiya song on Love for life and 'Bhabatosh'- a Modern song of Kamtapuri/Rajbanshi language, these two music videos are published consecutively in youtube which got a huge love and response from the audience. I am dedicated to work in the field throughout my life with multidimensional experiments and possibilities, to uplift and make Rajbanshi tradition and culture globally popular.
