Anyway, since 1998 he has been working as a professional songwriter till date. His lyrics have been sung by some of the greatest artists like Lucky Akhand, James, Ayub Bachchu, Hasan, Subir Nandi, Kumar Biswajit, Tapan Chowdhury, Samina and Fahmida Nabi, Niloy Das, Asif Akbar, Bappa Majumder, Nipo Rose. And some other potential performers. 

Earlier Ghulam Morshed made his debut as a lyricist with the help of renowned composer Lucky Akhand. And majority of Lucky Akhand’s songs were also written by him. In addition, Lucky Akhanda has also arranged a number of unreleased tracks for Golam Morshed.
