Music career

Tishma has released thirteen solo albums, each being chart-toppers with record-breaking sales as verified by Sangeeta, the audio company to which Tishma is signed.[1][2][6][9][12] Tishma made her debut as a child artist with her album Tara in late December 2002 (due to the release time late in the year, sometimes Tishma's album is often listed as a 2003 release[9][13]).

Starting from her debut album, Tishma has introduced a number of new music genres to Bangladesh, such as R&B, ballads, and funk[13] Tishma was the only female Bangladeshi artist and the youngest one to signed with the soft drink brand Pepsi since her debut album.[13] Tishma has since been influential to Bangla music trends; over the years, many artists have tried to closely follow and imitate Tishma's every aspect after watching Tishma's success as an experimental musician, although none have come close to achieving her level of fame and success,[1][6][14] and Tishma's constant stream of contributions to music, choreography, music videos, fashion, stage and arts have inspired and continue to be followed by other Bangladeshi pop singers.[2][5][6][8][9][15][16][17] Tishma is the youngest artist in Bangla music to have released thirteen solo albums.[8][18]

Tishma is a feminist icon in Bangladesh for her contributions to developments in women's music in the country.[4][8][16] Tishma is the first female music composer in Bangladesh, and she is also a classically trained singer, songwriter, music composer, record producer, music director, arranger, conductor, and DJ, and she plays different types of musical instruments such as piano, keyboards, drums and guitar.[19]

In 2012, Tishma released her solo album Xperiment ReloadeD, and in 2013 released her solo album Hypnotized, both of which are fully tuned and composed by herself.[20][21][22][23] In 2014, Tishma was to release her next solo album, Rockstar, which was written, tuned and composed by her;[6][7][16][17] as per studio reports and television interviews, some of the songs in this new album will be rock, ballads, funk, slow and mellow rock; and the rest of the songs in this new album will be soft, slow, classical and melodious songs, at the request of fans who enjoyed her softer classical mellow hits "De Re Na Na Megh Jhorana", "Projapoti" and so on.[6] A documentary video album of Tishma named The Rock Princess – Xposed, which will include five new music videos of Tishma's songs, was to be released in 2013 or 2014.[24] In 2015, Tishma released her latest solo album MesmerizeD,[3] which is also fully tuned and composed by herself, and contains both English and Bangla tracks.[25][26]
