Bappi Lahiri's grandson Rego B on singing with 'Bappi Da': 'Memories I'll carry for life'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Singer Rego B, the teenage grandson of late music legend Bappi Lahiri, has opened up about the cherished memories he formed performing alongside his grandfather — recalling how he would take the stage in front of crowds of 20,000 to 30,000 people as a child of six or seven.
Memories from the Stage
"Some of my fondest memories with my granddad are from accompanying him to his concerts and charitable events when I was around six or seven years old," Rego B said. "I would often go on stage and sing alongside him, sometimes in front of audiences of twenty or thirty thousand people."
He acknowledged that the enormity of those moments may not have fully registered at the time, but the feeling never left him. "At that age, I may not have fully understood the scale of those moments, but I always felt the energy and joy of performing with him. Those experiences remain incredibly special to me and are memories I will carry throughout my life," he added.
Lessons from Bappi Da: Humility, Music and Life
Beyond the spectacle of live performance, Rego B credited his grandfather with shaping nearly every aspect of his musical foundation. "I learnt almost everything I know about music and life from my granddad," he said. "Musically, he taught me the importance of taleem, expression, murkiyan and clearly enunciating every word while singing."
The lessons extended well beyond technique. According to Rego B, Bappi Lahiri's defining off-stage quality was his composure under success. "His greatest lesson was to remain humble, calm and grounded, no matter how much success you achieve. He always carried confidence and positive energy into every situation, and that is something I consciously try to follow in my own life and creative journey," he said.
'Chand': A Birthday Release and a New Chapter
Rego B recently marked his 17th birthday on 21 September 2025 with the release of a new track titled 'Chand', presented by Zee Music Company. The song, he explained, captures the feeling of searching for a person who truly belongs in your life. "Chand is a very special song for me because it's about that feeling of wanting to find someone who is your person. I really liked the idea of showing that through the journey and the search in the video. Releasing it on my 17th birthday makes the song even more special for me," he said.
The release marks a new phase in a musical journey that began five years ago when, at just 12 years old, Rego B first caught public attention with his track 'Bachcha Party'.
What's Coming Next
The young artist revealed that 'Chand' is the opening track of a forthcoming three-song EP with Zee Music Company, with the remaining two tracks set to drop over the coming months. "Each one is very special to me. I am grateful to Zee Music for giving me the opportunity to showcase my music and my identity as an artist on such a large platform. This feels like the beginning of a very exciting journey, and I can't wait for everyone to hear what's coming next," he said.
As Rego B steps further into his own artistic identity, the shadow — and the spirit — of Bappi Lahiri appears to remain a guiding presence.
