Ariyan: I grew up in Chittagong, surrounded by music. My dad, Alamgir Chowdhury and his band, Sustain Band’s rehearsals and shows shaped my early memories.
Ariyan: He’s my main influence. Watching him dedicate himself to music made me appreciate the process, not just the spotlight.

Ariyan: I started guitar at seven. Initially reluctant, but now I’m grateful for my dad’s push.
Ariyan: One Direction sparked my pop interest, but Avenged Sevenfold got me into rock. My taste blends pop and metal.
Ariyan: After attending local concerts in Chittagong. The crowd’s energy gave me chills. That’s when I thought, “Yeah, I want this to be my life.”

Ariyan: My voice didn’t fit pop initially, and my accent took time to adjust, but I embraced those as my strengths.
