A journey on the Path Less-Travelled Entwined with Music | Sheikh Ishtiaque | TEDxRUET

Listen to this young new star in the Bangladeshi music scene as he talks about finding his passion in music and the many adversaries he faced to become the new face of an old band. He surprised the music industry by being appointed the vocal of "Shironamhin", now its his turn to shush the nay-sayers with his talent and charisma. Sometimes the road less travelled is the right one as long as the heart finds a home where it belongs.

Recorded on the 19th April of 2019 at TEDxRUET: Changing Current.
