Nolok Babu (Bengali: নোলক বাবু) is a Bangladeshi singer. He won the first CloseUp1 competition (an adaptation of Pop Idol), a TV show to decide the best new young singer based on voting and participation.
Nolok was born in Jamalpur. His family name was Farhad. He grew up in a poor family and struggled hard. He had no opportunity to get formal training. However, he got some assistance in Jamalpur Shilpakala academy (Musical Academy). His mother was the bread earner of his family, and when his mother very sick he collected funds by singing in trains.
In 2005, when CloseUp started Farhad registered his name as Nolok Babu.
