Others described Emon as “the best” and praised the emotional impact of the performance.

Emon began his professional music career with the band Chirkutt and remained with the group until 2023. He later formed the musical group Bengal Symphony, with which he continues to perform.

Alongside his band work, Emon is also active as a solo musician and music director for films. Through his diverse musical projects, he continues to establish himself as one of the country’s notable contemporary musicians.
