“I’ve lived with music for so many years, I won’t play with music. I’ve been criticized for doing something right.

Highlighting the introductory phase with Hero Alam, Hasan Matiur said, “I first met Alam at a restaurant in Moghbazar. Seen 2/3 times later. He said he was my fan.

“I then tried to explain to him, why are you singing without learning to sing? In response, Alam said, Ustad I want to learn music. Nobody is teaching me.” Chena Surer Karndhar said, “So I told him, I will arrange to teach you music. I will release songs with you. I want to take it as a challenge.

“But the condition is that you have to learn music. When I think, I can make you sing, then I will publish the song. Not before. He also told me that he would learn music.
