Rezaul Karim Leemon





Leemon was born 1October 1980 in Rangpur where he lived till he obtained his BSS degree and then moved to Dhaka in 2002. Despite his obvious musical giftedness he never received any formal training and the endless repertoire of excellently conceived original songs stand testament to his innate musicality. He is currently honing his compositional and arrangement skills at Ektaar through several projects in which he is the big-man-in-charge! The song BONDHU'R MON that he has presented to listeners on Valentine's Day (14 Feb 06) is showcased in a forthcoming Ektaar compilation titled EKTAARAY AMI+TUMI (celebrating the springtime of life).



Leemon , with his super lyric writing skills and fabulously melodic compositions, is the new musical talent to hit the music scene in Bangladesh . He received the Starsearch Award (2003) for Best Lyrics as well as Best Composition for ekta gaan likhbo tomar jonno . He has received much acclaim for ghor baheer that was showcased in Ektaaray Gantha (April 2005) and since then he has gathered a whole host of fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of his solo album OSHEEM


Bondhur Mon

This song however is a composition by an old school friend and current flat-mate, Al Amin (after this show-of-hand, who is sure to be pursued for his songwriting wizardry by other singers!!). Leemon's vocals and musical arrangements nonetheless set him apart and place him amongst the best of Ektaar's current milieu of talented Artists ( NB Habib and Arnob, generally acknowledged to be the new musical giants of the times in the country are both signed to Ektaar )
