Atik Hasan's parents were great listeners of music which influenced him to grow with a lot of passion for music at a very young age. During his childhood, one day he heard a song of Kishore Kumar. He liked the song to such an extent that from that day he made up his mind that in his later life he would become a singer and that became his dream. To pursue his dream he started to learn music from Syed Toufikul Islam. After learning music for a long time Atik Hasan released his first album "Madhobi ki chilo bhul" under the banner of Soundtek in 2002. The album turned out to be a great hit album which changed his life and his career drastically.
