Palash Sen: Doctor turned rockstar's journey

Palash Sen, the 60-year-old frontman of the rock band Euphoria, leads a life as eclectic as his Greater Kailash II studio, 'The Clinic'. Once a practicing doctor, Sen ceased his medical career in 2000 to focus on music after the success of Euphoria's video for 'Maaeri'.

Sen's musical journey began as he pursued an Indi-pop identity, moving away from cover songs to create original music. Euphoria's debut album, 'Dhoom', and its title track, along with the subsequent hit 'Maaeri', became defining anthems of the Indi-pop era in the mid-90s.

The band, founded in 1988, has since performed over 3,000 concerts across India and internationally, including a notable performance at the United Nations General Assembly. Sen's career has also seen him venture into films and television.

Looking ahead, Euphoria is preparing to release 'Dhoomsday,' a project featuring artists from various linguistic backgrounds, reflecting the evolving Indian music scene and audience engagement.
