Early Beginnings & Breakthrough
From Rangpur Shishu Academy
To National Stardom
Fatima Tuz Zahra Oyshee was born on 8 December 1996. She built her foundational musical knowledge at the prestigious Rangpur Shishu Academy. In 2002, she reached a major childhood milestone by participating in the NTV talent hunt show Shapla Kuri, where she emerged as the 2nd Runner-up.
Transitioning into professional recording, she published her debut studio album Oyshee Express, composed by Imran Mahmudul, which became an instant breakthrough hit. In 2016, she released her second album Maya on Noboborsho (14 April), with music direction by Belal Khan and lyrical contributions from Anurup Aich, Shomeshwar Oli, and Robiul Islam Jibon. Her discography further expanded with celebrated studio records including Hawa, Chokher Bari, and Dehobazi (composed with Arfin Rumey).
National Film Award & International Milestones
In 2019, Oyshee achieved the pinnacle of cinematic recognition by winning the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for her spellbinding vocal performance in the feature film Maya: The Lost Mother, directed by Masud Pathik.
Demonstrating cross-border appeal, in February 2018 she signed a landmark contract with Indian record label Shree Venkatesh Films (SVF), making history as the youngest Bangladeshi singer to achieve this milestone.
