She competed in the second season of the singing reality series Indian Idol in 2005. In the movie Meerabai Not Out, she made her Bollywood debut as a chorus singer. She became well-known after Cocktail’s “Second Hand Jawaani,” a dance track, was released. This was followed by the party hits “Sunny Sunny” from Yaariyan and “London Thumakda” from Queen.

Born in Jiaganj, Murshidabad, West Bengal, to a Punjabi father and a Bengali mother, Arijit Singh is an Indian playback vocalist and music producer. Since his maternal aunt is trained in Indian classical music and his maternal grandmother used to sing, he started his musical education at home. His maternal uncle is a tabla player as well. He also picked up musical skills from his mother, who plays the tabla and sings. He attended Sripat Singh College, a school affiliated with the University of Kalyani, and Raja Bijay Singh High School for his academics. He “was a respectable student, but cared more about music,” according to Singh. His parents decided to put him through professional training because of his propensity for music.
Rajendra Prasad Hazari instructed him in Indian classical music, Dhirendra Prasad coached him in tabla, and Birendra Prasad taught him Rabindra Sangeet and popular music. Following his participation in the reality competition Fame Gurukul (2005), where he finished last, his career took off. Following his victory on 10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil, Singh constructed his own recording studio and started his career in music production. He then moved on to work as Pritam Chakraborty’s, Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy’s, Vishal- Shekhar’s, and Mithoon’s assistant music programmer.
With the release of “Tum Hi Ho” from Aashiqui 2, he gained greater notoriety. In the 59th Filmfare Awards, he received the Best Male Playback Singer honor for the song.
