The success helped them to get a contract with G Series for their debut album Daak. It was their work in this follow-up album that catapulted them to public attention the song Ekta gopon kotha was huge hit. Yaatri's song Ek paye nupur received an encouraging response and the next year Tony again asked Yaatri to record another song for Shopnochura II. Shopnochura was released towards the end of 2004. The initial line up of the band had Bipu (lead guitar), Mitu (bass), Emran (keyboard) and Topu (vocals). Tony bhai (drummer of the band 'Black') was coordinating a mixed album, Shopnochura and we wanted to take part. Emran and I met, and we were fortunate to get an opportunity to demonstrate our talents soon. I became a member of the North South University Sanskritik Sangathan (NSUSS).
“Budding romance, unrequited love and other aspects of life inspired me to write. NSU was an important chapter in Topu's life. It was there that he met up with Emran and formed the band 'Yaatri'. “That experience gave me the boost I needed as an artiste,” he says.Īfter college, Topu got enrolled in North South University (NSU). The response from the audience was great!” “While studying at Barisal Cadet College I was asked to perform at a programme. However the real turning point for Topu was his college days. “On a lonely afternoon or a glum evening, as the day changed its hues, I used to sit and observe everything around me and that would inspire me to write,” says Topu. Topu drew inspiration from his surroundings. “During my school days my interest in music grew.” According to the artiste, “I used to compose songs and set them to tune on my guitar.” “My sister had a harmonium and I loved playing it,” he recalls.
Topu's foray into the world of music began at an early age. Recently, The Daily Star caught up with the musician. Vocalist of the band 'Yaatri', Topu has carved a niche for himself with hummable melodies like Ek paye nupur and more.
