Music has been a part of my life from a very young age. I come from a Bengali musical background and began learning singing at the age of 5, growing up with a rich exposure to Bengali classical-based music, Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, Bengali devotional traditions, Shyama Sangeet, Kirtan and other forms of Bengali music.

Over the years, I have developed a broad foundation in Indian vocal music through professional training, continued practice, performances and cultural participation. I have trained in Hindustani classical vocal music for around 7 years, with a particular interest and strength in Khayal, and I also have experience with Carnatic compositions, including Geethams, Swarajatis, Jatiswarams, Varnams, Kritis, Keerthanams, Tillanas and various devotional and traditional compositions.

Bhajan and devotional singing have also been an important part of my musical journey, with around 5 years of experience across traditional, classical-based, regional, temple, satsang, Nama Sankeerthanam, Kirtan, Abhang and other devotional styles. My Bengali background has also given me familiarity with Bengali devotional music and traditions.

As a teacher, I focus on building a strong foundation in pitch, shruti, swaras, rhythm, voice technique, pronunciation, expression and listening. I combine classical foundations with practical song-based learning and adapt the teaching according to the student's level and goals. I teach beginners as well as intermediate students and include both practical singing and relevant music theory.

My aim is not only to help students sing songs correctly, but also to help them understand the music, develop confidence and gradually build their own musical expression.
