My name is Avishek Choudhury, I am a UK based singer-songwriter from Blackpool (Lancashire). I have been active as a singer-songwriter since June 2012. I spent 3 years living in Barnsley (South Yorkshire) for university, before moving back to my hometown of Blackpool in Jan 2017. These are some of the radio stations that have played my music: Glastonbury FM, BBC Introducing in Sheffield, Yorkshire Music Collective @ BCB Radio and BBC Introducing in Lancashire. I have gigging experience, mainly as a solo acoustic act, but I have performed with other musicians in the past. I also have recording experience as well, I have a home setup where I can record vocals, piano and acoustic guitar through music software, Logic. I also do some photography on the side, I am by no means a professional, but I do it to the best of my ability. As far as acting and dancing abilities go, I do not have any experience with them, but I am open to new opportunities and challenges.
