Sonu Nigam is a living sensation in today’s Bollywood’s music industry and one of the first names that pop to mind when we think about legends in the music industry. He can be described as someone who is constantly striving to get his horizons expanded and time and again delivering hits that millions can sway to.
In the beginning, the base in his voice made the producers and directors call him to sing those aching and tragic songs that filled everyone’s eyes with tears. However, Sonu Nigam has always been a mountain of talent and it was only a matter of time before his excellence in terms of versatility was discovered. And then happened the song called “Tera Rang Balle Balle” in Abbas Mustan’sSoldier, where his voice was recognized for other genres as well. He then went on to doSa Re Ga Ma Pa and garnered some more fame in the ’90s and he definitely earned the fame he was after.
He also tried his hands on acting in 2002 and received rave reviews. But more than anything else we will always remember him for his beautiful voice and all the various beautifully crafted songs that defined the 90s.
