Tanvir Tareq is one of the busiest music directors of this time, whose talents also expand into the realms of composing and penning lyrics.

The music director is now working on composing tunes for two films “Kachhe Eshe Bhalobesho” and “Most Welcome 2”. In “Kachhe Eshe Bhalobesho”, three of Tanvir’s songs — written by Zahid Akbar — will feature the voices of Kailash Kher, Shaan and Raghab. The latest work by the music director also includes the mixed album “Kahatok”, featuring singers of ‘Close Up 1’ talent hunt fame.
