Parvez Khan Sufiyan, 28, hails from the serene town of Baiddghona in Cox’s Bazar. His journey as a singer began at age six when he started performing on stage to support his family. Today, Parvez is the sole breadwinner of his household, captivating audiences both in Bangladesh and abroad with his soulful performances.
Parvez has won the hearts of listeners from all walks of life with his powerful renditions of Hindi Sufi and Bengali folk songs. His fame extends beyond borders, with Indian audiences enchanted by his Hindi songs. Parvez has performed in all 64 districts of Bangladesh, and his music has gone viral across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, garnering millions of listeners.
