I am short of words actually.” – Virat Kohli Mesmerized by his talent and soulful voice. “I am probably one of the biggest fans of ARIJIT SINGH. His debut in Manchester is sure to be this year's hottest ticket in town - book early to avoid disappointment. He has recently showcased his vast repertoire – from the playful ‘Sooraj Dooba Hain’ and the sonorous ‘Gerua’ to the rustic ‘Soch Na Sake’ – it is hard to imagine a genre that ARIJIT SINGH can't master.ĪRIJIT SINGH’S live concerts are a complete experience where he not only recreates his own songs but covers hits by other artistes which feature on his own playlist. There was no looking back for the classically trained singer after this and his subsequent songs became more popular than the films they were featured in! But despite his ability to reach the loftiest of notes, the singer has his feet planted firmly on the ground.ĪRIJIT SINGH rose to widespread prominence and became a household name with the release of the song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ fromthe ‘Aashiqui 2’ soundtrack. Also, recently I have recreated 90’s hit number ‘Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat’ by Aslam and Shibani Kashyap for a music company and the response is phenomenal.Ask any Bollywood Music fan, to name their favourite singer currently, and it won’t be long before the name of ARIJIT SINGH enters the conversation.ĪRIJIT SINGH is already considered the voice of his generation. The list includes ‘Enna Sona,’ ‘Sooraj Dooba Hai, ‘Dill Diya Gallan,’ and more. Talking about his days in quarantine, the UPite says, “Lately, I have been releasing a lot of covers for my listeners.

He got this project after the director of the German film happened to hear his song ‘Jab We Met’ from film ‘Hero’ and wanted his song also to be on the same lines. I am honoured to a part of an international film so early in my career.”

I am absolutely thrilled as this is my first international project that went on to be so big. “In India we don’t release German films but after much persuasion the makers have agreed to officially release the song ‘Sapney…’ in India. Last year he sung and composed a Hindi song for a German film ‘Checker Tobi und das Geheimnis unseres Planeten.’ The film has been well received internationally but could not have a theatrical release in India. Then, one of my friends helped me reaching my mentors and composers Sachin-Jigar who finally gave me a break in ‘Happy Ending’ shot on Saif Ali Khan.” I knew I had learnt music and I trained in both Indian and Western music extensively but still the big break was evading me. “Whatever I have learnt in Kolkata was not enough to obtain work, so I started a job in a music house and tried hard to get work but it went in vain. Rahul remembers his initial days when he had reached Mumbai from Kolkata with degree but mind and soul for music. I was there this February for my brother’s wedding and what a blast we all had,” said the versatile singer over phone.

Both my paternal and maternal sides are based there and so much miss them. “I love it’s food, people and the musical culture. Playback singer and composer Rahul Pandey, who has entertained us with his songs in films like ‘Munna Michael’, ‘Hero’ and ‘Happy Ending’, feels coming back to his home town, Prayagraj, is like you are in living in food’s paradise.
