Arnob

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shayan Chowdhury (Bangla: শায়ান চৌধুরী), better known by his nickname Arnob or Ornob) is a Bangladeshi performer who has, in the recent years, gained widespread popularity in Bangladesh. Arnob completed his studies at Patha Bhavana, Santiniketan, where he met his wife Sahana Bajpaie, who is also a singer.

Arnob is a member of the bands Bangla and Prayer Hall. In addition, he has also released three solo albums. The debut album as a solo artist was Chaina Bhabish, followed by Hok Kolorob^[1]. His third album is called Doob. Hok Kolorob was a compilation of songs he and his friends had written during their years in Santiniketan. A combination of poetic lyrics and sophisticated melodies has earned Arnob a large fan base among Bangladesh's music listeners.

He has also composed the music for Sahana Bajpaie's Rabindra Sangeet album "Notun Kore Pabo Bolay" and for Krishnonoli's album of original songs titled "Surje Badhi Basha." He also contributes to the theme songs and advertisements on Bangla satellite channels (Flat no 40, Sporshe'r Baire).

His uncle Tapan Chowdhury is also a famous singer.
