Kazi Anan
Kazi Anan sat in his studio, eagerly observing and studying the different aspects of sounds and rhythms. In his words, he never "stepped into" the world of music; he was "born into" it. Music has been ingrained in him. His earliest memories involve music.
An up and coming composer and musician of considerable calibre, Anan has had superhits like "Meye" and "Amar Desh" recently. "Kolpona," released on Valentines Day, clinched the number 1 spot for two consecutive weeks on ntv's "Music Jams."
"Amar Desh," Anan's recent album produced by Laser Vision, is an out and out international album. For this album, Anan had worked with Aditya Modi, sound engineer of award-winning soundtracks like "Slumdog Millionaire," "Lord of the Rings" and other international blockbusters.
Anan's next album will be released this Eid-ul-Fitr. The talented young musician also has plans to get involved in orchestration. Something absolutely ingenious about him is that the music he composes -- which is absolutely original -- takes him considerably short time. The "Amar Desh" album only took him 17 days.
In his words, it's as if “the music is in my cells, flowing in my blood.”
Anan is comfortable with all kinds of instruments. Good music is made when all the bits and instruments are in their right components. A bit of Latin, some African and other elements can be traced in his compositions.
“My dad, Hablu -- a seasoned percussionist, and a member of the band Renaissance -- is a great inspiration. I like Renaissance's music which is a bit of jazz and blues, something quite rare in Bangladesh.”
Anan likes mostly pre-90's music. “There is a certain element about music of that era,” he says.
With his vocals and ingenuity in composing, Anan is a musician who is well on his way to achieving great heights. But the artiste says that he is still a "toddler" in the world of music, learning the ropes.
