She is currently performing at concerts, and making regular appearances on live TV shows.
Zhilik says, “Claiming the top position in Shera Konthho was the biggest turning point of my singing career. Audiences -- both local and international -- first began to recognise me through my success in the competition.”
A year after Shera Konthho ended, Zhilik's first solo album, “Amar Ki Dosh” was released by Soundtek. The album featured nine songs tuned and arranged by Ibrar Tipu, Sandhi, Mahmud Sunny and Sajid Sarker,
Speaking on her debut album, Zhilik said, “My first album created a stir among listeners. All of my expectations were fulfilled.”
Although she became busy with her studies soon after, Zhilik took time to do stage shows. She performs even in remote areas of the country, as well as abroad. Zhilik has done a few playbacks for films as well. The artiste said that very recently, she had done a duet with SI Tutul. Zhillik added, “I'm willing to do more playbacks, but for quality films only.”
Meanwhile, Zhilik went into a hiatus before releasing her second solo album in 2012. Her self-titled album was released under the banner of Laser Vision.
The young singer is currently busy with stage shows, TV appearances, as well as shooting for a video of a song from her second album. There is the pressure of studies too, as she is currently doing her BBA at a private university.
Although her ancestral home is in Rangpur, Zhilik grew up in a culturally oriented family in Dhaka. She took her first music lessons from her father, who also used to sing. Zhilik said, “Music is at the centre of all my hopes and aspirations.”
