Sheikh Monirul Alam Tipu (born 15 July 1970) is a Bangladeshi musician, known as a rhythm composer, drummer, lyricist, and music producer.
He served as the General Secretary of Bangladesh Musical Bands' Association (BAMBA) until November 2020 and has since held the position of Vice President which he still holds currently.
Tipu and Kamal then invited Babna Karim as the new bass player, Reshad as the lead vocalist, and Mashuk as a guest in the second guitar position.
From there, they gradually started performing live concerts while simultaneously working on their self-titled debut album, Warfaze, at Sargam Studio in Bijoynagar, Dhaka.
During his time with the band, he contributed to the creation of two highly successful studio albums, "Winning" and "Ochena Shohor," and performed numerous concerts both domestically and internationally.
His soft rock style can be heard in "Purnota," where the ride cymbals create a beautiful melody that blends with the guitar solo, bass, and drums.
In addition to these, Tipu's hard rock, heavy metal, and progressive playing can be heard in songs like "Kew Nei Eka," "Mukti Chai," "Brishti," "Hotosha," "Oshamajik," "Dhushor Manchitro," and "Arr Kotokal."
Afterward, Tipu individually directed 3 music videos for the artist Mila titled “Mela” “CChera Paal” and “Shei Ami”.
He also made a good number of corporate videos through his advertising and event managing agency, Carnival, which garnered more recognition for his skills in directing.
During the Sidr crisis, Tipu, both as an organizer for Carnival and a band member of Warfaze, participated in a fund-raising concert for the victims of the disaster, including those affected by floods, acid attacks, and various illnesses such as kidney and heart disease.
Moreover, from 2009 to 2012, Tipu as a representative of both a Warfaze band member and BAMBA's general secretary, was an integral part of a campaign for violence against women for UNFPA.
