Durjoy started taking music seriously since 2004 and it was from then that he started composing his own songs and his only accompaniment at that time was his guitar. Initially, he was excessively influenced by the songs of Bob Dylan and it was then that he took up the harmonica as his second instrument, and started playing both simultaneously.
He always believed in playing original music. According to him "It takes quite a lot of guts for one to play 'the classics' or maybe 'Bach' or 'Beethoven', but it takes even more to perform original stuffs". Today, Durjoy has over eighty originals and he likes to control the stage single-handedly doing that "one-man-band” act.
