His introduction to the local stage came when he entered the popular Mastana Bahar series. As a contestant he reached the finals on two occasions. His popularity in singing KISHORE KUMAR songs locally took him to foreign countries to perform like the United States of America, Canada, England, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, Miami and India. Satrohan later travelled to India to further his education in music. He studied music at the GANDARVA MAHA VIDDYALA and the SHRIRAM BHARATIYA KALA KENDRA.
