Q. You have traversed Folk and Rock music in your sound; how would you define it, or would you call it seamless? Share with our readers about your musical journey.
A. I don’t know if it is Folk Rock, or Alternative Folk, or just simply my way of expressing music. I grew up in the hustle-bustle of Dhaka. Not by the river, in a serene village. A dotara and a flute could express that emotion beautifully but when I sing with just those instruments it seems hypocritical. Dhaka has traffic jams and mobile phones and sounds that can be expressed well with an electric guitar. It seemed appropriate to put it all together because I am an amalgamation of all that — Classical training as a child, then revolting to head-banging, and to Metal, calming down and embracing the 1960s music, finding the bauls of Bengal while looking for my identity and roots, and finally, writing my songs to express myself.
