EARLY LIFE

He was born in Central Howrah. He studied at RAMKRISHNAPUR HIGH SCHOOL, SHIBPUR DINOBUNDHOO COLLEGE and University of Kolkata.

MUSICAL JOURNEY

After completing the Higher Secondary in 1982, Soumendra Nath Mukherjee took his ‘Basic’ musical guidance at Shibpur through a respected Musical Teacher Smt. Malati Mukherjee, where he maybe the most senior one than the other co-students. Earlier, he was an eye-witness of one memorable musical programme of eminent singer ‘Anup Jalota’—ji, where ‘ANUP Ji’ shuffled him to move for spontaneous and miraculous harmonium playing. He was really surprised to see his fingering over the keyboards of his harmonium (like a typist on typewriter his fingers is moving so freely, rapidly and flawlessly) during all through the programme. After seeing the dedication of ‘ANUP Ji’ – over through the keyboard, he make himself to be a part of that, because, that time, he was in a chorus group just for singing – without knowing the harmonium (how to play and act with the harmonium as a singer).

In his home or in his my maternal uncle’s house (from where he got the inspiration to be a part of music) – there is always a tradition of ‘Musical Culture’ with Harmonium, Tabla, Tanpura, etc. By generation and virtue, his maternal side having an existing and flawless dedicator of rich, religious and constant follower of each and every department of music. But, because of the limitation of him for not to play the harmonium as like as them and due to these sort of disadvantage – at that time, he usually not so much very useful to his group either for a solo part or for a group leading part. Only for the limitation, he forced to be a student of any musical teacher, so the trusted Musical Guide ‘Smt. Malati Mukherjee’ saves his basic musical life as a musical savior in his life. In between two years, by extreme hardworking ability – he became one of the good followers of ‘DIDI’ (Smt. Malati Mukherjee).

RABITIRTHA part

After certain demise of ‘DIDI’ (Malati Mukherjee), he uses to search another source of dedicated, pure and ethnic Indian Music. Then, waiting for a long interval of at least seven-eight years, he got an inspiration to go for a particular sector of Indian Music – like ‘RABINDRA SANGEET’. By the entire help of his maternal aunt –he took an admission in ‘RABI TIRTHA’, in the year of 1997. So, the era of ‘TUSHAR BHANJA, SUMITRA CHATTERJEE’, ‘PRONOTI CHOWDHURY’ (for ‘Classical) and overall ‘SUCHITRA MITRA’ started and their wealthy musical ideology cherished and polished Soumendranath. He passed as a successful candidate of ‘RABINDRA SANGEET STUDENT’ in the year of 2000.
