Shitom: I had an interest in melody from the start. At 2–3 years old, I would sing along to TV jingles more than I watched the shows.
Shitom: I performed on stage at 5–6. But moving to Canada changed everything — singing for new friends gave me a confidence I’d never felt before.

Shitom: When I released Tomar Chaya, I lost my McDonald’s job the same week. But then Spotify playlisted the song, and royalty arrived soon after. That moment told me I could really make music in my life.
Shitom: I want Bangladeshi music to go global — but with intention. Catchy melodies, meaningful lyrics, modern but light instrumentals, and crisp vocals form my core approach.
Shitom: I was around 5 or 6 when I first faced a large audience. The love and excitement that day shaped how I see music.

Shitom: My fusion of Bangla lyrics with new-gen pop. I don’t think anyone has done it quite this way.
Shitom: I’m an empath. I write from real experiences, whether they’re mine or someone else’s, and melody always comes first.
Shitom: People assume simple lyrics lack depth. But even my simplest lines hold layers, like the one inspired by Spirited Away and its theme of losing identity.

Shitom: Entrepreneurship. I already do business on the side.
Shitom: I can mimic the Medina-style Azaan perfectly. And I’m a lucid dreamer. I often control my dreams.
Shitom: I live simply. I talk to people. I learn new stories every day.
Shitom: Take criticism. Improve daily. Make art for love never for attention.
