A leading figure in Hindi and Bengali music, he is the recipient of several accolades including two National Film Awards and eight Filmfare Awards. He was conferred the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2025.[1]
Singh began his career when he participated in the reality show Fame Gurukul in 2005. He made his Hindi cinema debut in 2011 with the song "Phir Mohabbat" for the film Murder 2. He received wider recognition with the release of "Tum Hi Ho" from Aashiqui 2 in 2013, which earned him his first Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer.[2][3]
He won the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer twice for the songs "Binte Dil" from Padmaavat (2018) and "Kesariya" from Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022).
Spotify declared Singh the most-streamed Indian artist for seven consecutive years (2019–2025).[4] As of February 2026, he is the most-followed artist globally on Spotify, with over 174.9 million followers.[5][6]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Arijit Singh was born on 25 April 1987[7] in Jiaganj, Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India to Surinder Kakkar Singh, a Punjabi Sikh father[8][9][10] and Aditi Singh, a Bengali Hindu mother.[11] His paternal family came from Lahore during the Partition.[8][9][10] He began his music training at a very young age at home. His maternal aunt trained in Indian classical music, and his maternal grandmother used to sing. His maternal uncle played the tabla, and his mother also sang and played the tabla. He studied at Raja Bijay Singh High School and later at the Sripat Singh College, a University of Kalyani affiliate.[11] According to him he "was a decent student, but cared more about music" and his parents decided to train him professionally. He was taught Indian classical music by Rajendra Prasad Hazari and trained in tabla by Dhirendra Prasad Hazari. Birendra Prasad Hazari taught him Rabindra Sangeet (songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore) and pop music.[11] At the age of three, he started training under the Hazari brothers, and at the age of nine, he got a scholarship from the government for training in vocals in Indian classical music.[12]
Growing up, he listened to Mozart, Beethoven and Modern Bengali music.[13] He idolised musicians like Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Rashid Khan, Zakir Hussain and Anand Chatterjee, and enjoyed listening to Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar, and Manna Dey.[14]
Career[edit | edit source]
2005–09: Career beginnings[edit | edit source]
Singh's musical career began when his guru Rajendra Prasad Hazari encouraged him to leave his hometown and participate in the reality show Fame Gurukul (2005) at the age of 18.[15]
During the show, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali invited Singh to sing "Yun Shabnami", a song intended for his film Saawariya. The recording was later removed following changes in the film's script and was never released.[16][17]
After Fame Gurukul, Kumar Taurani of Tips signed Singh for a music album that was ultimately shelved. [18]
Singh later moved to Mumbai in 2006 to work as a freelancer, initially living in a rented accommodation in the Lokhandwala area. He invested his early earnings in setting up a personal recording studio and worked as a music programmer and producer for advertisements, radio stations, and television channels.[19][20]
He subsequently worked as a music programmer and producer with composers including Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Vishal–Shekhar, Mithoon, Monty Sharma and Pritam. [21]
2010–13: Early releases and Aashiqui 2[edit | edit source]
In 2010, Singh collaborated with Pritam on films such as Golmaal 3, Crook and Action Replayy. He sang "Neeve Na Neeve Na" for the Telugu film Kedi and made his Hindi film playback debut with "Phir Mohabbat" from Murder 2. He gained wider recognition after singing "Raabta" from Agent Vinod and went on to contribute to soundtracks of films including Players, Cocktail and Barfi!.[22]
Singh's breakthrough came with the film Aashiqui 2 (2013), particularly the song "Tum Hi Ho", which earned him several accolades including the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer.
He subsequently recorded songs for films such as Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express, Jackpot and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.[23]
2014–19: Continued success[edit | edit source]
Singh continued to collaborate with Pritam and other composers through the mid-2010s. He sang "Khairiyat" from the film Chhichhore, composed by Pritam and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The song was released in September 2019 and received widespread popularity.[24]
In the same year, Singh sang "Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage" for the film Kabir Singh.[25]
Later in 2019, he collaborated with Shilpa Rao on the song "Ghungroo" from the film War, composed by Vishal–Shekhar with lyrics by Kumaar.[26]
2020–present: Independent ventures[edit | edit source]
In 2020, Singh recorded songs for several Hindi films, including Love Aaj Kal, Chhapaak, Street Dancer 3D, and Malang. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he also lent his voice to the Amazon Prime Video series The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye.
In July 2020, Singh announced the launch of his independent music label, Oriyon Music, marking a shift toward releasing non-film music and exercising greater creative control over his work.[27] Later that year, he released the non-film single “Dil Ko Maine Di Kasam”, composed by Amaal Mallik.[28] In October 2020, Singh released “Rihaa”, his first independent single under Oriyon Music, serving as singer, composer, and producer. A Bengali version titled “Mukto Kore Dao” was also released.[29]
In 2021, Singh continued to record film music across Hindi and regional cinema. Among his releases that year was “O Saaiyaan” from the film The Power.[30]
In 2023, Singh sang "Kesariya" from Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva. The song received widespread acclaim and earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer at the 68th Filmfare Awards, marking his seventh win in this category.[31]
In 2025, he won his eighth Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song "Sajni" from Laapataa Ladies, equalling Kishore Kumar's record for most wins in this category.[32]
Singh has remained one of the most-streamed Indian artists on digital platforms throughout the 2020s, with his catalogue continuing to feature prominently on Spotify India year-end charts.[33]
In January 2026, Singh announced his retirement from playback singing, while also stating that he will continue making independent music.[34][35][36][37]
Vocals and musical style[edit | edit source]
Singh is known for his "natural" and "nasal" voice, praised for its texture, depth, and emotive quality. He is a soulful baritone, described as "raw and grainy" yet versatile across genres.[38]
Though best known for romantic songs, Singh performs across styles, including club tracks Raat Bhar, electronic Blame The Night, Punjabi folk Samjhawan, Sufi/qawwali Mast Magan, and ghazals Gulon Mein Rang Bhare.[39] He enjoys classical and folk music, avoids heavy metal, and credits lyricists such as Irshad Kamil, Sayeed Quadri, and Amitabh Bhattacharya for shaping his interpretations.[40]
Singh views singing as an art of expression, emphasizing understanding lyrics and rhythm over rigid technique, and credits his guru Rajendra Prasad Hazari for encouraging a balance of classical and modern training.[41]
Public image and influences[edit | edit source]
Arijit has shared his fondness for singer Kishore Kumar,[42] while citing Mohit Chauhan and Atif Aslam as inspirations with whom he is often compared.[43] Though he has been inspired by many artists, Singh named KK[44] as his favourite singer along with Ayushmann Khurrana.[citation needed] He named Pritam Chakraborty, Vishal–Shekhar, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Amit Trivedi, Mithoon and A. R. Rahman as his favourite music directors.[11] Singh has idolised Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh and Mehdi Hassan.[citation needed]
In an interview with Filmbeat in April 2013, he declared that he is the biggest fan of singer Krishnakumar Kunnath (KK). [45] His desire to sing for Aamir Khan[42] came to reality in 2016 with the song "Naina" from Dangal.[46] In an interview with The Indian Express, Singh stated that he loves the work of Shalmali Kholgade, Shefali Alvares, and Irfan. He also mentioned that his "current favourite" singer is Chinmayi.[47]
In 2016 he appeared on the popular chat and comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show aired on Sony TV India. The show's host Kapil Sharma explained the difficulties he had bringing Singh on the show due to his shy nature.[48]
Singh has often been portrayed by the Indian media as a "small-town boy who made it big".[49] He had also been trolled on social media to which he replied "I use my social media sparingly for things that are close to my heart. I don't read the comments. My team filters out the comments for me, and I don't involve myself a lot in paying attention to criticism on social media. I speak what I want to speak, and my team lets me know the needful."[50][51]
Arijit enjoys listening to retro songs by singers Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle and the classical and ghazal songs along with the music of Coldplay. He expressed his desire to work with artist Norah Jones someday as he loves her music.
He says he is uncomfortable with all the attention that fame has brought.[52] In a 2023 interview on The Music Podcast, Singh reflected on his relationship with fame, stating that he had become detached from the public perception of his name, describing it as “a perception people have created about me.” He also said that he previously felt uncomfortable hearing his own songs at home and avoided them for a period, noting “nobody would play a song when I was at home.”, but later grew more indifferent toward the attention.[53][54]
Impact and recognition[edit | edit source]
In an interview music director and composer, Pritam said: "Arijit is a good singer, a smart musician, and an intelligent musician as well."[55] Vishal Dadlani of the music director duo Vishal–Shekhar said Singh is a phenomenal singer.[56] In another interview, he said "Arijit has the ability and the openness needed to make every recording a genuine collaboration. He's also a really nice guy, with no ego. That helps."[57] Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in an Interview with The Hindu said, "Arijit Singh is very special".[58]
Shreya Ghoshal remarked that he "is versatile and has a soulful voice".[59] Shankar Mahadevan said "I knew him before he became Arijit Singh. He is an educated musician, he understands his Sargam, and he has got depth."[60] Suresh Wadkar praised him as one of the "great singers of this generation".[61] Sonu Nigam rated Arijit higher than himself, at 7 on 10.[62]
Personal life[edit | edit source]
In 2014, Singh married Koel Roy, a childhood friend and a neighbour of his,[14][63] shortly after both divorced their former partners.[64] Singh has a step daughter from Koel's first marriage and 2 sons from Koel's marriage with him.[65] Singh divides his time between Mumbai and his hometown of Jiaganj which has become his main base in recent years.[66]
Singh says apart from being a singer, he is a badminton player, a writer, a movie freak and a documentary maker. He also likes cricket and cites Sachin Tendulkar, Lance Klusener, Sourav Ganguly, and Jonty Rhodes as his favourite sportsmen. He is an ardent football fan, and a Manchester United fan. He also expressed a wish to sing the anthem for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.[67] In badminton, he likes Saina Nehwal.[52]
Singh's mother, Aditi Singh, died from a cerebral stroke on 20 May 2021.[68] She was 52 years old.[69]
