Uttam, as a solo artist, has a unique style of music and performance which is a blend of his traditional upbringing and his many western influences.
He has been in the music circuit of Manipur for quite some time. He was part of bands such as Dracula, Lily Chinks, Romie Band and Eeeriema.
He worked on his own compositions as a solo artist and came out with the debut, Lamdam Tamna, in 2005.
His singing style blended with traditional war cries and instruments backed by powerful lyrics sets fire in the hearts of the audience in every stage he performed.
Uttam carved a place for himself in the Manipuri rock scene and Manipuri Matam Eesei world.
After performing some big concerts, Uttam formed the Uttam Band in the same year and gave his first gig at BOAT in 2005, with a strong crowd attending it.
With this band, Uttam has performed more than 100 shows in a short period of time in and outside Manipur.
