Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Bipul says his father is the reason he loves music and chose to become a musician.

One of the songs on his first album, "Ram Sailee", is a special tribute to his father.

Bipul went to St. Augustine's School in Kalimpong. He often performed there as a student. He chose the western classical guitar as his main instrument. He later earned a special diploma (LTCL) in Western Classical Guitar from the Trinity Music School of London.
