Somranjan’s style blends delicacy and charm but at the same time is not devoid of the strength that can etch a permanent notch in the hearts of his listeners. It was at the tender age of four that Somranjan came to make music his first love and from then till now there has been no looking back. Somranjan was lucky to have been born to a musical family and thus imbibed the traditions of music from his very environment. He received training from Shree Dhiman Sen and Shree Asish Bhadra. Ultimately he became the pupil of Pandit Debasish Bhattacharya. Under the aegis of his guru he received training for a long twelve years. Such nurturing, very much in compliance with the Indian Guru Shisya parampara has helped greatly to develop his budding talent. He is now acquiring the knowledge of Chaturangui and raga illustration.
