In 2011, Tishma's first own composed album Xperiment came out, which was the first album composed by a Bangladeshi female artist.

From this album, "Mone Mone Tomake Bhalobashi Mone Hoe" was released as a single in the same year.[18][19]
Following 'Royalty' in 2016, Tishma next released two more of her own written and composed solo albums titled 'X' (2018) and '2020' (2020) respectively. It is currently not yet known when her upcoming new album will be released. [20]

Originally a classically trained musician,[4][22] Tishma began her musical education at a very early age;[3][21] she was playing piano by age four,[4][22][23] and studied European classical music and music theory under ABRSM.[24] She also received talim (musical education) in Indian classical music and later studied Tagore songs and folk music.[4][22][24] She has released songs in a variety of genres such as rock, Bangla folk, opera, rap, classical, experimental, alternative, Nazrul, Rabindra Sangeet and Adhunik.[2][21]
