Singer in Mumbai
Debojit hails from a quaint little town called Silchar, which is nestled in the picturesque Barak valley in Assam. His tryst with music is not limited to the last four years of fame and success that the Zee Saregamapa embraced him with, when he won the “Voice of India” title. Since childhood, he grew up amidst nature, feeling and appreciating the nuances of musical notes. He took up the job of a Civil engineer in PWD, Assam, in order to meet ends; while music was the only thing that kept running through his veins. His mother always desired to see him become a professional singer. These dreams shattered when Debojit lost his mother to an illness. His wife Bandana took over from there; encouraged him and gave him the impetus to chase those dreams. It was with her support, that he set out to pursue his dreams - and what followed one after the other was just inevitable! Debojit started out as a singer in All India Radio and the Doordarshan Kendra in Silchar. He also leveraged on several opportunities to sing in concerts around Assam and West Bengal. Finally, life brought him to a crossroad where he had to make his choice between his job and passion for music. He took the plunge to shift base to Mumbai along with Bandana and enrolled himself to learn Indian Classical music from the Maestro Pt Askaran Sharma. He got certified in Sangeet Visharad Part-I, which was one of the building blocks in his musical career. He won the “Mega- final Runner Up” position in a music contest called “GAZAL-e-SARA” on an E-TV’s Urdu Channel. Subsequently, he grabbed the chance to participate in Zee Tv SAREGAMAPA Challenge 2005 and before he knew, he coveted the title and became a household name! Winning the Zee SAREGAMA title was a stepping stone to release his first ‘self-titled’ solo album called “DEBOJIT”. The album was a runaway success, owing to the romantic pop number called “My heart goes dumma dumma dum”. He also had a stint in assisting the famous music director Pritam, which helped him enhance his knowledge on music. Debojit has sung playback for many Hindi films such as Funtoosh, 88 Antop Hill, Jimmy, ”Isi Life Mein” ,“Tees Maar Khan” and “Saheb Biwi Aur Gangstar”.
