About Sonu Nigam

Sonu Nigam was born on July 30, 1973 in Faridabad, Haryana into a household of working musicians — his father Agam Kumar Nigam and his mother Shobha Nigam were both performing artists, and Sonu made his first stage appearance at age four singing Mohammed Rafi's Kya Hua Tera Vaada alongside his father. He moved to Bombay in his late teens, made his Bollywood debut on the 1990 film Janam, and broke through with T-Series' 1992 Mohammed Rafi tribute cassette Rafi Ki Yaadein, which led to his work as the singing voice of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and his 1995 crossover with Bewafa Sanam. The 1997 non-film album Deewana sold in multi-platinum territory and reset what a Hindi non-film record could do commercially. He was simultaneously becoming one of the most-booked male playback voices in Hindi cinema: Yeh Dil Deewana (Pardes, 1997), Sandese Aate Hain (Border, 1997), Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai (Jism, 2003), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), Suraj Hua Maddham, Bole Chudiyan, and You Are My Soniya (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, 2001), Saathiya (2002), Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om, 2007), Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin (Agneepath, 2012), and Mai Tenu Samjhawan (Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, 2014), plus playback across Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, and Punjabi cinema. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for Kal Ho Naa Ho in 2004, has served as a judge on multiple seasons of Indian Idol and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, and was awarded the Padma Shri in 2022. He has released non-film albums in Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, and Sanskrit (Sai Hai Apna) and collaborated with composers including A.R. Rahman, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam, and Vishal-Shekhar. He continues to tour the world circuit at the original headline scale.
