Debojit's first note

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa winner Debojit Saha has come out with his debut album

Kakoli Thakur

Debojit Saha may have been elusive on the music scene after winning the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge. But now he has launched his debut music album titled Debojit.

Call it narcissism or what you will. However with this, Saha steps into the big bad world of Indipop music. Excerpts from an interview:

What is Debojit all about?

It is basically a romantic album. There are four songs written by Sameer and composed by Biddu. Then there's one composed by Ismail Durbar, which I sang during the finals of the India Ki Voice contest and another one by Mehboob. The album also has remixes like 'Ek haseena thi…', 'O hum dum…' which people liked during Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge and the theme song which we finalists sang together.

What else are you doing these days?

Well, I just got back from US where I did shows with Saif Ali Khan, Sushmita Sen, Preity Zinta and Celina Jaitley. In June I will tour US, UK and Canada and perform in about 25 shows. But presently I have some shows lined up here in Assam. Besides, I also sang for Bappi Lahiri for Cabaret and sang a song with Vineet for Himesh Reshammiya. Talks are also on with Mukesh Bhatt who will give me a chance to work with Pritam.

Do you think too much importance is being given to makeover and performance rather than singing these days?

See, if you are performing for yourself, these things are not necessary. But when you have to perform in public, you have to shine as a complete performer.

At what age did you start singing?

I started singing when I was ten. But it was only later in life that music became my vocation in life. Initially I didn't have any formal training. But on the advice of senior musicians, I started learning classical music from Deepak Bhattacharya and Amarendra Chakraborty in Silchar.

What was life like before Sa Re Ga Ma Pa?

During my school and college days, I performed on stage. I was also a regular radio and TV artiste. But my mother always wanted me to become a good singer. After her death, I quit my job and came to Mumbai.

In Bollywood nothing is permanent. What do you say about that?

So far, luck has been on my side…

Any unfulfilled dream?

Right now I don't have any. I got more than I expected. I am happy that I fulfilled my mother's dream. And yes, I will prove myself in the industry.

Thanks once again Monika 😳

Nice to see Debu has already come out with an album. Havent heard it yet but he has a good voice so I'm sure he's sung the songs well. Personally, I liked Vinit more but Debu was definately not bad either. 😊

Jas - this album seems to be disappointing - i heard the title track Jeena n its quite pathetic - I feel sorry for Debu - I am surprised that ID never did the music for the album esp when he's got no work 😛 Jeena is a copy of My Dil Goes Mmmmmm from Salaam Namaste 😉

OMG a copy?? woh bhi on his first album?? thats not a very good start

yep Jas the full title of the song is Jeena (My Heart goes Dum Dumma Dum)

& check the video style - very much Abhijeet Sawant

poor Debu - I hope he still gets some recognition from this!

Thanks for sharing monikaji.So Debojeet has atlast come out with an album,good news.I hadnot heard it yet,but as Jemji wrote, if the title track is a copy of My Dil Goes Mmmmmm from Salaam Namaste, its not going to be good start for Debojeet.
Its interesting Vinit and Debojeet had sang together for Himeshji.Though I prefer Vinits voice than Debojeet's,both are very talented.So waiting for another chart bluster.
