Rising Star Belal Khan

Belal Khan, promising young singer and music composer, started his journey in the media world from 2009. He did his Bachelor's and Master's in Persian literature from Dhaka University, but never thought of being a musician. Although he loved singing and being around the music circle. In his leisure time all he did was tune up melodies, he said in an interview with the Daily Star.

“I came to Dhaka around 2002 to do my HSC. I used to hear my dad sing all the time when I was young. Even in my adulthood, it seemed that I was always surrounded by people who loved playing musical instruments and singing. I used to go to parties and weddings to sing; it was just my way of spending my time, money did not come into the picture. That is how much I love music.”

“The turning point in my life was when I met Moin Bishwash in Dhaka University. As usual, we had a circle where we had our 'adda,' by playing music and singing. That was when I was approached by Moin bhai, who told me that he wanted a song for his upcoming movie. I had a song which was composed, 'Pagol tor jonno,' and that was my take off point. This was in 2011.”

“Time passed by and I have released two solo albums. The first was in 2012 ("Alapon") and the latest was in 2015 ("Ar ekti bar"). And in between I have composed plenty of songs that were almost on the top charts.”
