His family affectionately called him "MDB," a name that has persisted throughout his career.
Burman's formal journey into music began when he moved to Mumbai, where he studied under the guidance of his guru, the late S.R. Rajan Sharma. His passion for music deepened after discovering the works of Sir James Roy Horner, whose compositions for films like Titanic greatly influenced him. However, he struggled to establish himself in Mumbai’s competitive film industry.
