I love to sing part 2.

26 August, 2026

Alif

Music

I have been doing music since I started developing memories. I have a funk rock band, where I do funk music. However, I have a few mellow, jazzy songs that I want to perform solo. That’s why I registered. Been following wallflower as well. I would love to be a part of it

26 August, 2026

Apurba Roy & Adita Tasnim

Music

Wherever the path takes, every stop attracts us to one place. So we chase it in curiosity, breathe in it, live in it and spiritually believe in it. Hence, artistry always begins and never ends.

26 August, 2026

Azaan

Music

I’ve been playing guitar for over 15 years and have been performing since I was 13. I grew up in a family that really cares about the arts and was surrounded by music from birth.

26 August, 2026

Kiwi

Music

As a kid, my mornings started with my dad singing songs while cooking breakfast and throughout the day whenever he’s home. We also had a harmonium which my sister could make good use of. Thanks to them, I am a dedicated music and art lover. I used to paint too a little, until life got too busy. When I wake up, when Im working, cooking, relaxing, raging, I need to sing or listen to music! Sadly I have not taken any music lessons yet, but I have spent the entirety of my life singing my lungs out at home and dreaming of singing for an audience some time. I just know I always wanted to sing but my procrastinating has been an obstacle to start anything productive, so Im wishing to get to use Wallflower Sessions as an opportunity to jump start my passion to sing on stages 🥹 whether Im getting tomatoes thrown at me or flowers, Im soo ready! 😂🫶 Is this nearly what I was supposed to write? 😬

26 August, 2026

mizu

26 August, 2026

Nowshin

Music

Hi I'm Nowshin. I'm 29, an LLb graduate trying to stay in touch with music and art in my free time apart from my mundane work-life. Music and art has been one of the ways I could express myself growing up. My artistic journey began from the love of music , jamming with friends , seeing concerts to performing songs myself. My musical journey is still evolving and I can always learn something new from the world of music and leave a piece of myself behind too.

26 August, 2026

Rafiul Adib

Poetry

I’m Rafiul Adib. I don’t write poetry to be polite. I use it as a weapon. I write to break the silence. My artistic journey is a raw, unfiltered fight against comfortable lies and hypocrisy. I put real truth on the page to set your mind on fire and remind you that you're alive, unbroken, and meant to stand tall.

26 August, 2026

Salah uddin

Music

I am a rapper, song writer from Chittagong. I mainly represent my imagination. Want to spread joy through my music. My goal of performance is not to just showcase me and my skills but enjoy with the audience equally. I started this to become one with everybody, not to become bigger than the audience and others. I've performed before at Go skateboarding day 26, dayshara, mic check vol 2 by gorom hood ctg, party hour. My motto is to enjoy not to prove or conquere anything.

26 August, 2026

Shadman Sakib Choudhury

Music

I started as a guitar player and slowly transitioned into being the the vocal for our band in college. I love exploring music through different instruments, currently I am playing Keyboard (strings) for a rock band called Cremain and we are on our way to releating our first album! However, guitar has always been my comfort instrument, something I keep coming back to. Apart from originals, I do love covering songs, experimenting with the composition, and arrangements. At the heart of it all, I just love listening to music, playing music, and sharing music! Outside of music, I work in infectious disease research on potentially pandemic viruses, but I’ve always made sure to keep music as a part of my life.

26 August, 2026

Tahasena mostare rasmi

Stand-up Comedy

আমি একজন নতুন comedian, তবে মানুষকে হাসানোর চেষ্টা অনেকদিনের। জীবনের ছোট ছোট ঘটনা, family drama আর everyday awkward moments থেকেই আমার comedy-এর inspiration আসে। নতুন হিসেবে শিখতে চাই, perform করতে চাই এবং নিজের unique style তৈরি করতে চাই। সবচেয়ে বড় কথা—আমি চাই মানুষ আমার performance দেখে অন্তত কিছুক্ষণের জন্য হলেও নিজের tension ভুলে হাসুক

19 August, 2026

Cyan and Priyo

Music

Cyan and I are half of a band called Geisha. We're still in the initial stages of discovering our sound. We like grunge, pop, rock, funk and just a little bit of everything. We'll hopefully be performing an original and a cover of which the original was debuted at Wallflower Sessions #1. Stoked to hopefully be back

Safinaj Sora

Poetry

I was meant to study pharmacy only but i did it differently,I started dancing and writing to express the feelings I could not say aloud.Slowly, words became my way of understanding myself and the world.I began reading poems and learning how powerful simple words can be.With every poem I wrote, I became more confident in my own voice. Today, I am still learning, but I proudly call myself a poet.

19 August, 2026

Samiha Tahsin

Poetry

Poetry has been a more constant and consistent part of my life than almost anything else.I’ve been writing poetry my whole life, starting pretty early back when I was 7 years old. It’s the way I find myself and make sense of the world around me. After so many years, I think I got the writing part down. Now it’s time for the sharing part. Because I believe even though the writing of the poetry is an entirely personal and solitary experience, poetry itself is meant to be a shared and communal experience where the same set of words get assigned entirely different meanings in different minds and provides a solace unique to each individual.That is the magic of poetry. So here goes!

Tashdid Ashrar

Stand-up Comedy

Been around 6 years since I first got up on stage for my first stand-up performance and I don't remember a single moment, since then, when I didn't want to do this. Till date, every time I have performed I have figured or discovered something which makes me want to do this more. Hence, even after being a very small and insignificant one, my journey has been absolutely delightful.

I’ve always loved making people laugh. After a couple of years on the scene, I decided to mash up my two biggest passions: music and comedy. Expect funny parodies, original tracks, and a set that will have you chuckling and singing along. Catch me at the next show!

12 August, 2026

Housecat

Music

Been writing and composing originals for so long, without a platform to perform or express apart from my uni. I cant write on wish or command, it just occassionally strikes me like a lightning bolt, a ‘message’ about my own feelings, which i have to convert into lyrics with tune as soon as possible because once i get distracted, its almost impossible to finish the lyrics later on.

12 August, 2026

K Zubayer

Stand-up Comedy

It’s a rollercoaster. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I regret

12 August, 2026

Kifayah

Music

This is a planet full of stories of imperfection. Everyone complains about something. Everyone is lacking something somewhere. In the midst of all these complicated calculations and inadequacies, we are happy with what we have. That is enough for us. That is KIFAYAH for us. We started singing together from 2019 and Kifayah was formed in 2025.

Tahsim

Poetry

Writing from the depths of my grief to the joys of life, love and the journey of growth, I transitioned into commercial writing and learned that emotions don't really pay the bills. But they do feed your soul, and that's what I need more of in my life, so I continue to write for myself.

Hi! This is Efty. Although I work in Environmental sector, I am a magician by passion. I started growing interest in magic 11 years ago, that was also the time when I learned the first magic trick. Why do I love magic? Because I love to make people feel amazed, surprised and sometimes shocked. Also, magic allows me to connect with people's emotion. It feels truly magical. I have been performing magic for quite some time. I want to keep performing magic as long as I live.
