In 2008, Sania Sultana Liza, one of Bangladesh’s most beloved singers, began her professional journey in the music industry by winning the prestigious CloseUp One talent competition. That victory marked the start of a remarkable 17-year career, during which Liza has consistently impressed audiences with her vocal prowess, stage presence, and versatility. From live performances to recording new songs, she has continually pushed herself to deliver her best, earning the admiration of fans both at home and abroad.
Over the years, Liza has evolved beyond a performer. She has recently taken on the role of a judge in musical competitions, sharing her expertise with the next generation of singers. Currently, she is serving as a judge for RTV Little Star: Agamir Kontho Shor, alongside renowned vocalists Ferdous Wahid and Jiniya Jahan Lipa. Liza has expressed her enthusiasm for nurturing young talent, stating that many exceptionally talented children have participated, and the panel is committed to evaluating their abilities fairly. She is confident that the competition will unearth a number of outstanding new voices.
On the musical front, Liza remains highly active. She recently released a new song, ‘Nei Odhikar’, composed and arranged by Hridoy Khan. The track, accompanied by a visually striking music video, has captured the hearts of her fans, showcasing her signature vocal style. Liza commented, “Seventeen years in music feels like a dream. For the past few years, I have chosen not to focus on popularity metrics or view counts. Instead, I prioritise music that resonates deeply with listeners and leaves a lasting impression. ‘Nei Odhikar’ is exactly that kind of song. In future projects, I will continue to explore styles beyond the conventional, while ensuring my personal taste and artistic vision guide me.”
Beyond recordings, Liza has recently performed in a number of concerts across cities including Chittagong and Dhaka. She emphasises that performing live remains central to her career, saying, “I perform regularly, and there are several shows lined up. I hope to make this season a memorable one for my fans.”
Seventeen years on, Liza’s journey is a testament to her dedication, passion, and artistic integrity. She has proven that true musicianship is not merely measured in years, but in the lasting connection forged with audiences, the continual evolution of her craft, and the ability to inspire the next generation of performers. With new releases and performances on the horizon, Liza continues to shine as one of Bangladesh’s enduring voices in contemporary music.
