Arijit Singh

About

“Tum Hi Ho…”—few songs have shaped Bollywood romance like his, and few voices have become as synonymous with emotion as Arijit Singh’s. Now, he is back from retirement with Awarapan 2, lending his voice to the film’s title track, Yeh Awarapan, much to the delight of fans.From reality TV to becoming Bollywood’s defining playback voice, what hasn't changed is Arijit’s ability to move effortlessly between soulful tracks, romantic melodies, devotional songs, and rock-n-roll numbers. It has made him one of the most versatile and bankable singers in Indian cinema. Despite immense fame, Arijit has chosen a quiet life away from Mumbai’s spotlight. His humility and unwavering commitment to his craft are unmatched. As he once said on The Music Podcast, “It’s never about the voice; it’s about the singing. I have worked hard to create textures in my voice. It’s like sculpting your voice… You practice a lot at night till your throat gets tired, and you go to sleep. When you record the next morning, your baritone opens up.” An industry insider sums up his appeal: “There are singers who perform songs, and then there is Arijit Singh, who makes every lyric feel deeply personal.” “For filmmakers, an Arijit Singh song is more than a soundtrack. It becomes the emotional identity of the film,” a music director who has worked extensively with Arijit adds. The most-followed artist on Spotify continues to redefine playback singing with one of the most powerful and emotional voices of Indian cinema.
