About Me / Biography:
Hi, I’m Mimo, a singer-songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and bassist with a deep passion for progressive rock, classic rock, and melodic pop. I’ve been performing and creating music since 1995, singing in both Bengali and English. Back in Bangladesh, I was a member of a legendary national band, playing to hundreds at major festivals and events. Since moving to the UK, I’ve continued performing, writing, and evolving as a musician.
Now based in Kingston upon Thames, I’m launching a new project called ProgBengal, a rock band that blends the lyrical depth and musical complexity of prog with the raw energy of classic rock and the emotional hooks of pop. I’ll be fronting the band as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist.
We’re building something meaningful, original songs (in both English and Bengali), with selective covers that suit our sound. I’m currently looking for dedicated local musicians to join the journey:
* A tight, groove-focused bassist
* A dynamic drummer with flair and discipline
* A creative keyboardist with textural range and good ears
Rehearsals will be around Kingston / South West London / Surrey, and the goal is to write, record, and perform live.
If you love music that speaks across genres and cultures, and want to be part of an original band that fuses skill, soul, and purpose, let’s connect.
