Whatever Arnab can remember he was at Goaltur when the god gifted him a sister, Anwesha Chakraborty, nick name is Papan. After that he stayed at Town Colony, Kuikota in Midnapore. He came with his parent at Berhampore in 1991. He started his education from "Berhampore khagra pouro prathamik vidyalaya" from class one (1) in bengali medium.

Tabla
When he was 7 his father, the late Ashesh Kalyan Banerjee admitted him to learn Tabla. His Tabla guru was “Sanat Chowdhury”. He appeared for and achieved 5th year certification in Tabla from Bangiya Sangeet Parishad. Sanat Chowdhury was a very dedicated person. He did not miss a single day to come for private tuition in Arnab's 8 years Tabla learning period. He was absent for only one day as his father expired at that time. Sanat Chowdhury was a student of “Guru Nitya Gopal Saha” who was a renowned Tabla Player as well as the Sangeetgwa. Arnab Banerjee learned dedication, respect, love to music from his Tabla Guru. Once upon a time when he was attending the First year Tabla theory exam, it was held at “Khagra Prouro Prathamik Bidyalaya”, his primary school. Later he started private tuition of Tabla to several students. He often attended stage programs. Some of his stage programs were with his sister “Anwesha Banerjee (Papan)”, brother Ayan Banerjee (Chhoton), English Teacher “Apurba Banerjee”, etc. His brother was a very good Guiter Player and his sister was a singer.

Singing
He started to learn the singing from Guru Sourav Chatterjee (Radio Artist at Berhampore, West Bengal). At a very early stage Guru "Sourav Chatterjee" was the singing teacher of his sister. But later he started to learn singing from him with his sister. At that time he was 17 years old.

Singing Learning
He still thinks himself as a student and continuously learning the singing from his Singing Gurus. His first guru was Sourav Chatterjee who introduced him with the music instrument "Harmonium" and with the divine words Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Sa. From the very beginning, he started dreaming about music. But dreams can never draw the lines on reality alone and easily. It requires time, dedication, and determination. So, after a long education, he left his birthplace Berhampore and joined his first job as a software engineer in Kolkata.

During his first job he was not able to continue with his singing for many reasons. But after one (1) year, he joined ITC Limited (next company) and started to learn the singing again from Tanmoy Saha. Here he learned to sing movie songs, folk, pop and attended many stage programs successfully. But his dream was little bit different and so he joined "Swarnali Sangeet Siksha Niketan" located at New Barackpore in Kolkata. Here, the Principal of this singing school the "Guruji Swapan Chakraborty" enhanced his classical base and turned his life in to a different level. But it took a long period of 12 years. He appeared 5th Vocal Classical and achieved the honorable certificate from this school.

After these 12 years journey his next classical Guru was "Guruji Bikash Sur". During this time, he worked with multiple Bangla bands and Orchestras as a live performer. But this was also not his actual dream and even time was not on his favour as Corona came into the market and started to kill people and their hopes. Also, he lost his Guru "Guruji Bikash Sur" due to Coronavirus.

But in 2022 he was called by Director Shubham Das for his new Bengali movie "Pora Baanshi". He sang the title song of this movie after Aditi Munsi.
