Early life

Nachiketa was born in Calcutta at Muktaram Babu Street[2]. He started composing and performing as a student of Maharaja Manindra Chandra College in North Kolkata, Shyambazar, an affiliated college of the University of Calcutta.[3] In 1993 his first album Ei besh bhalo achi was released; it was an instant hit. Initially he had a huge youth fan following, but gradually he drew listeners from all age groups. His colloquial language immediately hit the stagnancy of Bengali music in the early 90s. Following the path of Kabir Suman (the then Suman Chattopadhay), Nachiketa changed the age-old concept of Bengali lyrics. Now he is famous singer and songwriter and composer from Calcutta. His songs have touched many people's lives. He is very popular among today's youth generation.
