Before Suman Chattopadhaay became famous as a composer/singer in Bengal in the 90s, he was a well-known journalist and wrote extensively in Bengali and English. He also spent several years abroad as a Radio journalist and studied music. On his return to India he became a full time composer and a singer. He also wrote under the pseudonym of Manab Mitra and wrote an excellent and very extensive article on Salil. This article was published in the Sangeet Natak Academy Magazine from Bombay.
