“I would like to maintain my originality,” says new singer on the block Arnab  Chakraborty whose claim to fame are ‘Wada Raha’ from ‘Khakee’ and ‘Qatra Qatra’ from the film ‘Family’. Arnab’s first non-film music album ‘Naam’ was recently launched by music directors Shantanu Moitra (He gave him the first break in the form of a jingle) and Ram Sampat (‘Khakee’ and ‘Family’).

“I have tried to incorporate the different folk forms of Indian music in my debut album,” Arnab says. Having done a post graduate diploma in Sugam Sangeet from Mumbai Universty, Chakraborthy has already worked with renowned names like Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Ram Sampath, Shantanu Moitra, Salim-Suleiman, Pritam, Raju Singh, Jatin-Lalit, Nikhil-Vinay and many others.

He is also excited about song he recorded with Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh with music director Pritam for Meghna Gulzar’s next film ‘Baat Pakki’ for which Gulzar sahib has written the lyrics. It seems Arnab is determined to carve a ‘Naam’ for himself in Bollywood.
