DISCOGRAPHY:

2020 – Vebe Na Vebe (EP By Sin of Carnage)

‘Alan Entwistle Pickups’ Artist

 

Navid Imtiaz Chowdhury

GENRE(S): Instrumental Rock Music, Contemporary Music, Sessions (As per Clients preference)

FAVOURITE ARTISTS / INFLUENCES: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde, Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, David Gilmour, Vinnie Moore, Plini.

BANDS – ACTIVE: Navid Imtiaz Chowdhury & the Astronauts.

BANDS – PREVIOUS: Defy, Afterm@th, Sin of Carnage, Minar Rahman (Session), Miftah Zaman (Session), Shondhi and Shovvota (Session).

PREFERRED PICKUPS, AND WHY:

X3 Modern – As I mostly play heavy music, my preference has always been high-gain pickups with power and controlled sound. Also, with a less harsh, more rounded top end.

ASN57 (VINTAGE S-TYPE) noiseless pickups: As I have a custom-made guitar that has 3 single-coil pickups, my preference is the same configuration with a noiseless pickup set. Personally, what I like most are the Alnico V rod pickups.

 

BIOGRAPHY:

My journey into music began with a dream I shared with friends back in high school. We formed a band, and that experience, along with attending underground concerts, completely lit the spark for me. Watching those bands on stage, I knew straight away that is where I wanted to be. The guitar was love at first sight; it was the only instrument that ever felt right in my hands. Over time, that passion grew, and I eventually picked up the bass guitar as well.

Things really started to take shape with the formation of Sin of Carnage. That opened doors to join two other well-known Bangladeshi bands, Defy and Afterm@th. Playing with them was a dream come true; I found myself on the very stages I once stood in front of as a fan. Those years taught me so much, and I am especially proud of the music we created together, including the Sin of Carnage EP.

After several intense years focused on band music, I felt an undeniable pull to explore my own voice. That is when I stepped back to write and release a solo instrumental work. It began with my first single, “Autumn,” and came full circle with my debut album, “End Notes,” in 2024. That record is especially close to my heart; it is the most personal expression of who I am as a musician.

Along the way, I have been lucky to collaborate with a wide range of talented artists. Working with Minar was definitely a highlight, and teaming up with more than a dozen international musicians on guitar-driven projects gave me a chance to share my music with listeners well beyond Bangladesh.

Looking back, it has been a steady, exciting progression, from a teenager with a dream in a small band to an artist with a body of work that spans bands, solo projects, and international collaborations. And honestly, it still feels like the journey has only just begun.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

When I think about the highlights of my journey, the first thing that jumps out is my solo instrumental album, End Notes. As one of the very few instrumental guitar albums released by a Bangladeshi guitarist, it was a project that meant the world to me, both deeply personal and significant.

But my journey has not just been about going solo. Some of my proudest moments have come from collaborations. I have had the thrill of performing with leading Bangladeshi bands such as Defy, Afterm@th, and Sin of Carnage, the release of Sin of Carnage’s EP being a real high point. On top of that, working with a top artist like Minar was an incredible experience that I will always value.

The adventure did not stop there; I have also had the chance to team up with more than a dozen musicians beyond the borders on guitar-driven projects and videos. These collaborations not only expanded my horizons but also gave me the joy of connecting with an international audience.

From pouring my heart into End Notes to sharing the stage and studio with brilliant artists at home and abroad, these moments have defined my growth and fueled my passion every step of the way.
