The name Armeen Musa brings to mind the hit song "Bhromer Koiyo Giya" [A Radharaman composition rearranged by Fuad]. The popularity of this track is testament to the musical talent that Armeen possesses. Starting her journey with the band Enshrined, playing at concerts in Dhaka, Armeen soon discovered a burgeoning love for music which led to her composing original songs and soon carving a niche in the Bangla pop and underground music scene. After moving to England, she gained further exposure culminating in collaboration with Kishon Khan's Lokkhi Terra. In 2008, she released her debut solo album "Aye Ghum Bhangai", featuring her band, The Grasshoppers, among numerous other guest musicians.
The album fared well and was signal of greater things to come. In 2010, the Berklee College of Music took its Audition tour to South-east Asia, scouting for talent in various countries including Malaysia and India. Armeen was selected as a recipient of the Asian Tour Scholarship being the first person to go to the prestigious institution from Bangladesh. An opportunity of attending one of the most renowned schools of Jazz and popular music was ideal for Armeen's development.
Robert 'Bobby' McFerrin, an American vocalist and conductor, 10 times Grammy winner and best known for his 1988 mega-hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy", started taking auditions for one of his shows. This remarkable singer-musician has been hailed as the 'king of a capella'. Using his voice and movements as rhythm, Bobby surprised and enthralled the world once again when he released his latest album "VocaBularies" after an eight year hiatus. In order to once again share his creative spirit with groups of younger people, Bobby held auditions for his show in Boston last February. Armeen Musa, among hundred others, auditioned for the chance to work with the legendary Bobby. As luck would have it, after four rounds of auditioning, Armeen along with 14 others were chosen to be part of Bobby McFerrin's a capella group for the show in Boston on February 24. During the performance, Armeen sang a line in Bangla.
Furthermore, Armeen also recorded her first playback song [under Neel Dutta's direction], featured on the soundtrack of Indian film "Jiyo Kaka".
Although these can be considered feathers in the cap for Armeen Musa, they speak lengths for her ability and bring about much needed exposure for Bangladeshi music and artistes.
