Albert Kabo Lepcha's reaction
Albert Kabo Lepcha's journey to victory on 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2023' is quite a tale. While music was always a part of his life, starting from school functions to singing in church choirs, he never underwent formal training. Reacting to his win, an excited Albert said, "This is a dream come true for me! Honestly, the competition was tough as all the contestants of the season were very talented, and I really feel grateful that I got to share the stage with them. My journey on the show has been a great learning experience and I would like to thank all my mentors and judges who have constantly supported me and helped me scale my potential as a singer. "
"I even got the chance to record and release my own single, composed by the iconic Vivek kar; I received loads of love for that. I am definitely taking a bundle of memories along with me and looking forward to my new singing journey ahead. Thank you to each and every person for making this a beautiful experience," he added.
Before his appearance on 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,' he performed live shows and even formed his band, 'Kabo N Company.' Albert took a diverse professional path, working as a chef in Bangalore, singing in a bar back home after his grandfather's passing, and later, being a tourist guide in Kolkata.
