Renowned music composer Emon Shaha, a seven-time National Film Award winner, is all set to take the helm as the leading judge of the highly anticipated musical reality show 'RTV Young Star USA-Gola Chere Gao.'

The show promises to showcase exceptional singing talents from across the nation, and joining him as a fellow judge is the accomplished singer Kona, who also happens to be Emon Shaha's protégé.

Emon Shaha, who has a vast legacy in the music industry, expressed his excitement about the upcoming venture, "I have spent a considerable part of my life teaching music, and it's an incredible feeling to see Kona, who was once my student, rise to become a phenomenal singer. Her journey has been marked by numerous challenges, and she's emerged victorious through her dedication and hard work. Kona has been gracing our ears with her melodious voice since childhood, and it's truly heartening to witness the artist she has become today. Collaborating with Kona as a judge on this reality show is a source of immense joy for me."

Kona, a shining star in her own right, reflected on her musical journey and the crucial role Emon Shaha played in her success, "Emon Dada, as I fondly call him, has been more than a teacher to me. He guided me through my initial steps, and it was under his guidance that I ventured into the world of jingles, leading me to incredible opportunities in the playback singing realm. Joining forces with him as a judge on this reality show is nothing short of a blessing. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the RTV authorities for entrusting me with this role."

It's noteworthy that Emon Shaha was the mastermind behind some of Kona's most sensational tracks, including the superhits "O Hey Shyam" and "Poraman-2." Their musical synergy extends to several other popular movie songs that have left an indelible mark on the industry. Additionally, Emon Shaha's talent in background music composition was showcased in the blockbuster Dhallywood movie 'Priyotoma,' directed by Himel Ashraf and produced by Arshad Adnan.

Amidst their new roles as judges, Kona is gearing up for a series of live concerts in the United States. Scheduled to kick off on August 28, these performances promise to captivate audiences across various states.

The dynamic duo's collaboration on 'RTV Young Star USA-Gola Chere Gao' is undoubtedly a treat for music enthusiasts and promises to be a platform where raw talent meets expert guidance, resulting in a harmonious celebration of music.
