Early life

Chatterjee was born and brought up in Kolkata, West Bengal. He got trained in Rabindra Sangeet along with occasional Nazrul Geeti and Indian Classical Music lessons at Dakshinee, a music academy in Kolkata.

In 2023, Chatterjee was awarded accolades for his performance of Tagore songs in Dubai as part of a show organised by Malhar, an institution for music education. He later performed in a scripted show titled Tagore Meets Tagore, starring Sharmila Tagore.
