Early life

edit

Singh was born on 25 April 1987[9] in Jiaganj, Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India, to Surinder Kakkar Singh, a Punjabi Sikh father,[10][11][12] and Aditi Singh, a Bengali Hindu mother.[13] His paternal family migrated from Lahore during the Partition of India.[10][11][12]

Singh was raised in a musically inclined family and began training in music at an early age. His maternal aunt was trained in Indian classical music, while his maternal grandmother sang. His maternal uncle played the tabla, and his mother also sang and played the instrument.[13]

He attended Raja Bijay Singh High School and later studied at Sripat Singh College, affiliated with the University of Kalyani.[13] He has stated that he was a “decent student” but was more inclined towards music, leading his parents to arrange formal training.[13]

He received training in Indian classical music from Rajendra Prasad Hazari and in tabla from Dhirendra Prasad Hazari. He was also trained in Rabindra Sangeet and Western pop music by Birendra Prasad Hazari.[13] He began training under the Hazari brothers at the age of three, and at the age of nine received a government scholarship for vocal training in Indian classical music.[14]

Growing up, he listened to composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as modern Bengali music.[15] He has cited musicians including Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Rashid Khan, Zakir Hussain, and Anand Chatterjee as influences, and has also expressed admiration for singers such as Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar, and Manna Dey.[16]

Career

Early career and breakthrough

edit

In the early 2010s, Singh began receiving opportunities in film music, frequently collaborating with Pritam on film soundtracks including Golmaal 3, Crook, and Action Replayy. He also recorded "Neeve Na Neeve Na" for the Telugu film Kedi and made his Hindi playback debut with "Phir Mohabbat" from Murder 2.

He gained industry recognition with "Raabta" from Agent Vinod (2012), and subsequently contributed to the soundtracks of films such as Players, Cocktail, and Barfi!.[17]

His breakthrough came with Aashiqui 2 (2013), particularly the song "Tum Hi Ho", which achieved commercial success and earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. The song is considered a turning point in his career.

Following this, he recorded songs for films including Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express, Jackpot, and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, further establishing his presence in Hindi film music.[18]

In 2022, he recorded "Kesariya" from Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, for which he received the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer at the 68th Filmfare Awards. In 2025, he received his eighth Filmfare Award for "Sajni" from Laapataa Ladies, equalling Kishore Kumar’s record for the most wins in this category.[23]
