Early life[edit]
Lahiri was born into a Hindu Brahmin[3] family in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal. His parents
Aparesh Lahiri and Bansuri Lahiri, both from Jalpaiguri, were famous Bengali singers
and musicians in classical music and Shyama Sangeet. [citation needed] He is their only child.
His relatives include singer Kishore Kumar, his maternal uncle.[4]
Lahiri began to play tabla at the age of 3. Initially, he was trained by his parents. [citation needed]
Lahiri has 2 children, a son Bappa Lahiri and a daughter Rema Lahiri. His son is
married to Sannaya Gandhi with whom he has a son Azam John Lahiri.
His favorite quote is 'Gold is my God.'
Career[edit]
Famous for his uptempo and danceable tracks. Bappi would recreate and sometimes
sample popular sounds from the foreign market on his soundtracks. Though he was
known for disco-style songs he has also composed some melodious songs as well,
such as the songs from Chalte Chalte and Zakhmee.
Portions of Lahiri's song "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai" were included in the 2002 song
"Addictive" by American R&B singer Truth Hurts. Copyright holders Saregama India,
Ltd. sued Interscope Records and its parent company, Universal Music Group for more
than $500 million. A Los Angeles federal judge subsequently barred further sales of the
CD unless and until Lahiri was listed on the song's credits. [5]
