Nachiketa Chakraborty (simply known as Nachiketa) is an Indianbengalisinger, songwriter, musician, composer and playback singer who known for his modern Bengali lyrics (popularly termed as 'JeebanMukhi') and album song known as 'Briddhasrom'.

• 2Discography
  • 2.1Solo albums

Early life[edit]

Nachiketa was born in Kolkata at Muktaram Babu Street^[2]. He started composing and performing as a student of Maharaja Manindra Chandra College in North Kolkata, Shyambazar, an affiliated college of the University of Calcutta.^{[3][verification needed]} In 1993 his first album Ei besh bhalo achi was released; it was an instant hit. At the initial stage he had a huge youth fan following, but gradually he has touched listeners from all age groups. The colloquial language immediately hit the stagnancy of Bengali music in the early 90s. Following the path of Kabir Suman (the then Suman Chattopadhay), Nachiketa changed the age-old concept of Bengali lyrics.Now, he is very famous singer and songwriter and composer from the city of joy. His songs are truly touched by many people's lives.
