A creative journey that spans over twenty-five years. He started playing his first instrument at the age of 11. Dee is a multi-talented creative performance artist who has toured with his theatre and music productions internationally in places like India, Bangladesh and most parts of Europe.

He played the lead character in the award wining production of Beautiful Violin musical touring nationally in the mainstream venues such as Oldham Coliseum, Contact Theatre, Alhambra Bradford, Bolton Octagon, The Watermans, Nuffield theatre and the Chester Gateway.

Dee’s musical collaboration has been with the likes of Inder Goldfinger, Jaydev Mistry and the Jazz maestro Arun Gosh. Majority of his work has been with the leading arts and production companies such as Peshkar Productions, Oldham Coliseum and Chol International Arts.

Amongst his credits, two very successful Sylheti tele-films Keetha Phailam and Mayer Taney, which received critical acclaims.

Dee' s main passion is Bangla folk music and singing and was the lead singer for his band Jalak which they founded in the late 90s. He plays various Bangladeshi instruments including the du-tara. Jalak was a northwest success story, at a time when the urban Bangladeshi youth needed something to look up to; they were providing true urban Bangladeshi music experience through their fusions.
