The story of my sound
Sonia Saha Shanta is a Bengali singer whose musical journey reflects a profound commitment to heritage, expression, and emotional truth. Born in the culturally rich city of Cumilla, Sonia was nurtured in a home where music was not just appreciated, but lived. Her earliest lessons in music began with her mother, Ratna Saha, a respected music teacher and cultural contributor, whose gentle instruction and deep passion shaped the artist Sonia would become.
She is an enlisted singer of Bangladesh Television (BTV) and Bangladesh Betar, two of the country’s most prestigious national broadcasting platforms. This recognition reflects her artistic merit and her ability to connect with audiences across Bangladesh through both classical and contemporary Bengali music.
From a young age, Sonia’s voice found its place in local events and cultural programs. Music was never a hobby—it was a calling. Guided by her mother and later mentored by respected artists such as Mita Pal and Dilip Majumdar, Sonia’s training was both disciplined and deeply personal. These early years instilled in her a foundation in classical and folk traditions, particularly Rabindra Sangeet and Bengali folk, which continue to influence her sound today.
As her talent flourished, Sonia stepped beyond Cumilla, entering Dhaka’s wider musical circles and performing in numerous districts across the country. Her voice—soulful, evocative, and rooted in Bengali musical heritage—quickly connected with listeners. She performed on television, radio, and live stages, establishing herself as a voice of sincerity and grace.
Music, passion, history
Despite taking a brief step back from public performances after marriage, Sonia never abandoned her artistic pursuit. Instead, she reemerged with renewed purpose and vision. Launching her own YouTube channel, she began producing and sharing original music, building a digital bridge between her art and the global Bengali diaspora. Her compositions resonate deeply with audiences, combining lyrical richness with melodic elegance.
Sonia’s music is not just an expression of talent—it is a tribute to legacy. The memory of her late father, whose dream was to see her thrive as an artist, continues to inspire her. Every performance, every composition is a quiet homage to his belief in her potential.
Today, Sonia Saha Shanta stands as a dedicated ambassador of Bengali music. Her journey is one of continuity and evolution—honoring the past while embracing the present. She sees music not only as a career but as a responsibility: to preserve cultural treasures, to uplift souls, and to connect hearts across borders.
Through her artistry, Sonia carries forward a voice that belongs to both tradition and tomorrow.
