Shehab Shahariar: Engineering a Spectacular Global Identity With Digital Tools

🎧 A Sound Born From Curiosity and Conviction

Known to his audience as Shibu, Shehab Shahariar grew up in Dhaka surrounded by Bangla music—and later carried that influence into a sound of his own. Rhythm and melody weren’t learned; they were absorbed.

Introduced to the genre through his family, he developed a deep connection to the Bangla pop era of the early 2000s — a period he still sees as powerful and emotionally honest.

Over time, one question stayed with him: why did that era fade? That curiosity turned into direction.

Today, Shehab is focused on building Bangla music that feels intentional, modern, and globally aware. Working fully in the digital space and guided by independence, he’s carving out his own lane — one sound at a time.

🎙️ Q&A with Shehab Shahariar

❓TINDS: Where did your story begin, and what shaped your early perspective?

Shibu: I was born and brought up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Growing up with my parents and siblings, I was introduced to some of the best Bangla music, and that stayed with me.

🎵 TINDS: What first sparked your passion for making music?

Shibu: Listening to Bangla pop in the early 2000s made me wonder why that beautiful era disappeared. That curiosity pushed me to start writing and singing my own songs because I want to make Bangla music great again.

💪 TINDS: What personal challenge helped redefine your journey?

Shibu: Last year I weighed around 114 kilos and felt very insecure. Changing my lifestyle changed my mindset. I started seeing the bigger vision, and that helped both my personal life and my career.

🎯 TINDS: What is the deeper mission behind your work?

Shibu: I want to represent Bangladesh to the world through music. Bangla music deserves a global platform, and I truly believe it will get there.

🛠️ TINDS: What makes your approach different from others?

Shibu: I don’t play any instruments. I make music using just my mouse and keyboard. Music production has changed a lot, and now it’s the perfect time to create digitally.

🎨 TINDS: How would you describe your creative process?

Shibu: I usually start with the beat and then write over it. I’ve been refining my own sound for over a year now, which I call #freshsound.

🤔 TINDS: What’s something most people misunderstand about your work?

Shibu: Some people think I copy other songs, but it’s actually an homage. I try to make influences obvious in my own way — which isn’t the same as imitation.

🎬 TINDS: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?

Shibu: Before music took over, I was a senior motion graphics artist. I’d probably be doing that or filmmaking.

🤯 TINDS: What’s a surprising fact about you?

Shibu: I’ve never traveled outside the country, but I’m hoping to change that in 2026.

💪 TINDS: How do you stay balanced and focused?

Shibu: I constantly compare my sound with international artists. It pushes me to improve every day.

🧘 TINDS: What does self-care look like for you?

Shibu: Morning walks, showers, and taking care of my skin and hair help me reset and start the day right.

🎓 TINDS: What advice would you give someone starting their creative journey?

Shibu: Making music is only 20% of the work. The rest is branding, marketing, content, and distribution. Treat yourself like a brand, not just an artist. Consistency matters.

🌍 Looking Ahead

Shehab Shahariar, better known as Shibu, is moving forward with quiet confidence.
