Couple of stage shows later, the singer is deterred to make his mark in the playback industry. He has just released his debut album titled Debojit with the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa label. The CD contains eight tracks.

Immense talent and hard work catapulted this ‘common man from Silchar’ into a singing superstar. But the limelight does not attract him. He prefers a common man’s life to the arc lights. “I want to be as simple as I can be. I want to work hard… I want people to love me more,” he confesses. Seems like he doesn’t want instant success to spoil his attitude.

Four of his songs, including the lead track

Jeena

, have been composed and produced by music-maestro Biddu. One song has been scored by Ismail Darbar. Debojit performed this song at the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa finale. Debojit has also mixed two Hindi numbers,

Ek Hasina Thi

and

O Humdum Suniyo Re

, to give them a hip shaking twist.

Debojit was a civil engineer in Silchar, Assam. Though he worked for some TV serials, but recognition didn’t come his way then. “Nobody knew me before this contest…but now people know me and love me. It is a different experience altogether,” he says. “It was my mother’s dream that I should become a singer one day. My wife supported me all thorough. She left her job to be with me,” reveals Debojit.
