Who is Albert Kabo Lepcha?
Albert Kabo Lepcha presently resides in Kolkata with his wife. He is originally from Kalimpong, in West Bengal. Before appearing on ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,’ the 27-year-old performer performed in live concerts. Even more recently, he formed his own band, Kabo N Company, where he sometimes plays alone or with his band.
Kabo began singing at school events and then joined the choir at his church. He did not pursue formal music education. In 2015, Albert tied the knot. He eventually found a job as a cook in Bangalore. When his grandpa passed away, he returned to his hometown and took a singing job at a local bar. Later, he and his wife moved to Kolkata, where he worked as a tour guide for a year before he auditioned for the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa regional programme.
After the win, Albert was overjoyed and admitted that he had never had such a fantastic sense of success. Additionally, Albert Kabo became the first runner-up of the show at the grand finale of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Zee Bangla, which was held on February 5, earlier this year.
