==Career==
At the age of seven, he gave his first public performance at the opening ceremony of [[Bathinda]] [[Doordarshan]] (TV station), with his song, ''Charkhe Di Ghook'', and thus earned the name Master Saleem. Soon he started appearing on TV shows like, ''Jhilmil Taare''.<ref name=n/>

Saleem's first album, ''Charkhe Di Ghook'', was released when he was 10 years old.<ref name="h" /><ref name="Ladla lad">{{cite news|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090410/ttlife1.htm |title=Ladla lad |last=Kapoor |first=Jigyasa |date=10 April 2009 |publisher=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] (Chandigarh) |access-date=20 January 2010 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5myPVGou7?url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090410/ttlife1.htm |archive-date=22 January 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was released on the label ''Sur Taal'', created by his father's friend, Manjinder Singh Goli, and went on to become a hit.<ref name=h/> This led to several Punjabi music and religious albums and live shows. His song ''Dhol Jagiro Da'' also became a huge hit and giving him wide popularity.<ref name=h/> In the late 1990s, however as he was growing his voice started changing, which lessened his popularity.<ref name=h/> He made his comeback in 2000, with the Sufi number ''Aj Hona Deedar Mahi da'', which he sang at a New Year's programme at [[Doordarshan]] channel, and later released albums dedicated to Goddess [[Durga]] including, ''Mela Maiya Da'' (2004), ''Aj Hai Jagrata'', ''Meri Maiya'' and ''Darshan Kar Lao''.<ref name=i/><ref name="Ladla lad"/>

Around 2005, singer [[Jasbir Jassi]] introduced him to music director [[Sandeep Chowta]], who subsequently called him to Delhi to record single ''Sajni'' in Sony Music album ''Teri Sajni''.<ref name="Ladla lad"/>

Eventually [[Shankar Mahadevan]], of the music trio [[Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy]], heard his performances at a ''jagaran'' at the Devi Talaab Mandir, Jalandhar, being aired at a religious TV channel, and thus Saleem made his debut as playback singer with single "Mast Kalandar" from the film ''[[Heyy Babyy]]'' (2007) under their music direction. The song was a hit and launched his Bollywood career. This was followed by most well-known singles including "Tashan Mein" from the film ''[[Tashan (film)|Tashan]]'' and ''Maa Da Ladla'' from the film ''[[Dostana (2008 film)|Dostana]]'' (2008), and ''Aahun Aahun'' in ''[[Love Aaj Kal]]'' (2009).<ref name=i/><ref name="Ladla lad"/> and in 2010 some of his hit songs have been "Humka Peeni Hai" from "[[Dabangg]] and "Shakira" in "[[No Problem (2010 film)|No Problem]] and "Chamki Jawani" in [[Yamla Pagla Deewana]]. In 2011 one of his first hits was "Rola Pe Gaya" in [[Patiala House (film)|Patiala House]].
