Then on, he accompanied his father for his various singing assignments. He spent his childhood in Delhi and did his schooling at J.D.Tyler School,Delhi and his graduation from Delhi University. He always gave due importance to academics and was a topper at school. He worked as a child artist for several movies like Pyaara Dushman, Kaamchor, Ustaadi Ustad Ke, Hum se hai Zamaana, Taqdeer and Betaab between 1980 and 1983.

He moved to Mumbai with his father on 23^rd September 1991 to begin his singing career. His initial years in Mumbai proved to be a struggle, and he started by singing covers of Mohammad Rafi songs, mainly for the "Rafi Ki Yaadein" album series. These albums contributed to his label for some time as a "Rafi clone." His first movie song as a playback singer was in the movie, "Janum" (1990), which was never officially released. He got a break as a playback singer in Gulshan Kumar's movie, "Aaja Meri Jaan"(1993).

Sonu released his first Indipop album, Sapney Ki Baat in 1997 in collaboration with T-Series which generated an ocean of fame and a remarkable response from the listeners. Following that, In 1998, Magnasound came up with a lucrative offer for Sonu to launch the albums, 'Kismat' and 'Mausam', both of which contributed to his image as the Golden Voice of Indipop and gave him a boy next door image. The singles 'Tu' and 'Bijuriya' are still considered to be two of his biggest dance hits. History was made when Sonu launched his album 'Deewana' in 1999 with T-Series. It led Sonu to the heights of his singing career and it was estimated that more than ten million copies were sold officially making it the highest selling album over the next few years. His next two albums 'Jaan' and 'Yaad' in 2000 and 2001 respectively were also with T-Series and both were chart toppers. His devotional album 'Sanskar' and his Punjabi Album 'Kudi Mili Hai Kamaal' were also highly appreciated by his listeners.

In 2005, Sonu launched his next album, 'Chanda Ki Doli' with T-Series after a span of four years. This album is very significant in his career because all the tunes in Chanda Ki Doli were composed, programmed, arranged and sung by Sonu himself and each composition in the album was rated a gem by connoisseurs of music. He created history by releasing his single 'Yeh Rashtra Prem Ki Bhavna' on Indian Independence Day 2006 on a radio station without a record label. It was a song which he wrote himself to express his love for the country and to arouse the new generation. Rekindling his usual style of constantly challenging himself with something different, Sonu launched his latest album 'Classically Mild' with Sa Re Ga Ma HMV on February 11^th 2008. This album surpasses all targets and exceeds all expectations and is Sonu's attempt to convey the importance of being rooted to Indian Classical Music to the youth of today who consider him their Idol. The album is semi-classical with a touch of mainstream commercial music and is skilfully packaged to appeal to connoisseurs and laymen alike.

Always a trendsetter, Sonu joined hands with Big 92.7 FM to launch his exclusive pulsating single titled "Punjabi Please" on 3rd March 2008. The song has been composed,written and sung by Sonu himself and is Sonu's tribute to all his Punjabi fans. BIG FM holds exclusive rights for song play outs including digital rights and physical unit sales. The Company will also be involved in the making of Punjabi Please music video along with promoting the single in the form of mobile ring-tones and digital downloads. Sonu will soon be releasing an album in collaboration with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra as a tribute to Late Mohammed Rafi, his idol and musical father. The album is titled 'Rafi Resurrected' and will contain 18 evergreen tracks of the maestro. Also, due to his ever-growing popularity as a singer in the Kannada music industry, he is soon coming up with a Kannada album for all his fans from the south.

Sonu Niigaam-The best singer in the country

Sonu started at a very early age not only on stage but also in front of the mike. He spent his teenage days singing jingles, cover versions and devotional songs. Once he shifted base to Mumbai to start his struggle in the music industry, it did not take him too long to get his first song from the film 'Aaja Meri Jaan' at the age of 20. The late bigwig Gulshan Kumar (owner of T-Series, Music Company) heard Sonu and invited him to work with them. The song, which led him to fame was 'Accha Sila Diya Tune' from the film 'Bewafa Sanam.

Sonu tasted real success in playback singing when he was invited to sing the song, 'Yeh Dil Deewana' for Subhash Ghai's film 'Pardes'. This song made Sonu the real superstar, a heartthrob of Bollywood. He changed his style of singing and adapted the modern nuances of the western style of singing merging it with our own Indian classical influences. Since then there has been no looking back for Sonu. Today he is among the highest-paid singers of Bollywood and is in heavy demand because his voice suits every hero. Shah Rukh Khan once commented 'I grant a lot of my success to Sonu.' Sonu has become the safest choice for any music director to do justice to their composition and as rightly said by one of them "Sonu's singing is immaculate because he immerses himself completely in it. He comes to the recording studio, writes the song, learns it, sings it and leaves in nothing more than 30 minutes. I think no one can ever match his caliber".

He has sung countless songs not only in Hindi but in almost all the regional languages of India. His songs from films like 'Pardes', 'Dil Se', 'Border', 'Refugee', 'Sarfarosh', 'Taal', 'One Two Ka Four','Pukar', 'Bunty aur Babli','Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai', 'Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya','Lucky', 'Paheli', 'Parineeta','Dil Chahta Hai', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham', 'Saathiya', 'Kal Ho Na Ho', 'Main Hoon Na', 'Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna', 'The Legend Of Bhagat Singh','Fanaa' and 'Om Shanti Om' are among a few milestones in his singing career and have helped him establish himself as one of the most versatile, soulful and multi-talented singers in India. He also appealed to connoisseurs of music with renditions from films like 'Dev','Baabul','Saawan 5533;,'Meenaxi','Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose' and 'Dharm'. He recently became a sensation in the Kannada music industry when his songs from the film 'Mungaru Male' became chartbusters in the south and earned him a lot of recognition.

Sonu Niigaam and Television

A major breakthrough in Sonu's career was being offered to host the singing talent hunt Sa Re Ga Ma on Zee TV. The first episode of Sa Re Ga Ma was aired on May 1^st 1995. The show exposed him to many stalwarts in the music industry and gave him a huge learning ground. In addition to that, it made him a familiar face in households and the dignity and poise with which he hosted the show was highly appreciated. His next stint as on Television was for Star Plus's Celebrity Musical Game Show Kisme Kitna Hai Dum in 2002. The show saw him at his humorous best and became a platform for him to showcase his inborn talent of being a great mimic. He then served as a jury member for seasons 1 and 2 of Sony's reality hunt Indian Idol from 2004-2006 and his impartial judgements and inspirational guidance won hearts. In October 2007, Sonu came back to the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in a historical moment of sorts, this time as a judge (along with Suresh Wadkar) on the show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs International.

Sonu Niigaam and Radio

Sonu added another profile to his career in 2006 when he became a Star Radio Jockey for Radio City 91.1 FM. He had over 5 million listeners glued to their radios for one hour every week on his show Life Ki Dhun with Sonu Niigaam. The show became a platform for him to share his thoughts, interact with his fans and interview colleagues from the music industry. He even convinced Lata Mangeshkar for a 3 and a half hour long live interview which by itself was an event in the history of the Indian music industry.

RJ Sonu 'Niigaam' hits the waves


THE NEW RJ: After singing, doing films and being a jury member, Sonu Nigam will now RJ for a show in Radio City FM channel.

Mumbai: Sonu Nigam has a new career and a new name. After singing for films, acting in them, releasing his own albums and being a jury member on Indian Idol, Nigam will next try out radio jockeying. And the Nigam from now is Niigaam.

The star will be a radio jockey (RJ) on a 30-minute weekly show Life Ke Dhun With Sonu Nigam on Radio City FM channel. It's not a new career move, he says.

Adding letters to names is the latest fad among celebrities, who believe that do so will bring them good luck. 'I sign my name as Niigaam, for myself I am Niigaam but the public can call me whatever they want to,' Nigam confesses.

Nigam is a firm believer of numerology and claims he was instrumental in getting music composer Anu Mallik to change his name as well.

"When you meet Anu Mallik ask him about the spelling of his name, I got him to change his name from Annu to Anu. I don't want to take credit but Anu Mallik's life took a changed for good after changing his name," he quips.

Singing, acting, judging reality shows, now radio jockeying Nigam's done it all and is now readying him for a novel venture and may be add another feather to his cap.


Interviews of Sonu Niigaam-a few of his thoughts in his own words

Sonu Niigaam: You Can Be Good at Everything

Today he is a global icon, and yet behind the warmth, mischief and prodigious talent, you find a man who is a pretty straight shooter.

By: Kavita Chhibber

The versatility, diversity, power and range of Sonu Niigaam's voice has catapulted him to the top of the Indian music scene. He spearheaded the blockbuster show Saregama Pa to dizzying heights as he hosted one stellar legendary musician after another to judge some incredibly talented contestants. Both as a TV and radio show host, he brought brand Sonu to the fore in a natural and hard to imitate style. Today he is a global icon, and yet behind the warmth, mischief and prodigious talent, you find a man who is a pretty straight shooter. In an exclusive interview with Little India the singing superstar talks life, music and the recent media frenzy for locking horns with a well known journalist.

Your father's journey has been very different from yours. He was too proud to ask for work and never went to Bollywood, and here you are, the biggest singing superstar to emerge out of India in recent times.


My father's story is that of loneliness, isolation, poverty and hunger and of not having the support of his middle class family who were essentially government servants and couldn't understand his passion. My life began under his protection and we didn't live hand to mouth by then. If my parents ever fell short of money, we would just go out and do shows to make some. So his journey was more rigorous, mine was more emotional.

He chose not to go to Bollywood, because he had a lot of pride and wouldn't ask anyone for work, though he did ask for me.

My father gave me two pieces of advice when I headed for Bombay as a teenager to try my luck. He said, if you have to succeed you have to remain in the eye of those who you want to work with. Follow them, bug them constantly, show them you are a hard worker and available, and that you will deliver. Secondly, he said, either you can have fun in your youth and then labor in your middle and old age, or you work hard in your youth and enjoy your middle age and old age.

I'm glad I decided to do the latter and now as I turn 34, I am very secure both financially and emotionally.

You sang many cover versions of popular songs of the legends of yesteryear. What did you learn from that?

Well it was my father who made me look at what each singer brought to the table. So unlike some singers who would look at the song and lyrics and sing it their own way, I would study each singer and try to sing the song as close to the original, even breathing at the same spot where the legend had taken the breath. Studying stalwarts like Rafi ji, Manna Dey ji, Kishore ji and others gave me a very good understanding of how each voice functioned and because of that I have been able to constantly improve and change my voice, upgrading it to new levels and adapting it to different genres of music. When I sing, I can visualize the song in the voice of ten different singers, and then I blend the best of those voices to create a song. I know the day I stop trying to improve myself, is the day I will be left behind. In music you can never say even in a life time, "Oh I know everything."

You have been deeply influenced by Rafi and had said that you had come to the industry to fill the void left by him, and today you are doing something very special that you were hand picked for.

Yes I'm singing 18 of Rafi ji's most memorable songs with the Birmingham Symphony orchestra. When I was approached, I was a bit skeptical and wanted to make sure it was not a remix or cover version. But when I heard the tracks they were mind blowing. The symphonic sound gives a different dimension to Rafi ji's voice. I have done so much research on Rafi ji's voice that I don't think even Rafi ji could have analyzed his voice to that extent and those songs are known to me much more than they could be to anyone else. I think it will be a treat for listeners to hear a symphonic interpretation as grand as this is, of his music. I have finished 16 of the sings and two remain.

Hopefully that will be done soon.

You have sung both in the South and North Indian music industry. What sets them apart?


The gayaki ang, which is so appreciated in the South. You take a harkat (move your voice) and they appreciate it. In the North, you'll often run into conservative people, who have perhaps never heard of a harkat and they get intimidated and will say-yeh harkat kyon le rahe ho-seedha seedha gao (why are you creating inflections? Sing in a flat voice). I usually do what is best for the song without listening to them.

People keep talking about the golden period of Indian music that has gone by.

There were good musicians and bad musicians in every era. So it is not fair to say that. Music is a hreflection of the society we live in, and caters to the need of the times. Technology and marketing have changed the way music is presented today. And it is also easy to turn a mediocre artist into a star, because computer technology has made it very easy to take each word, sing it many times and keep deleting, cutting and pasting each word to create a perfect song. The tremendous respect Lata ji, Asha ji, Rafi ji and others commanded was because they sang each song in one take in real time. I recently did two songs for Pyare babu (Lakshmikant Pyarelal) in one take, but I also see so many composers who are clueless about where they want the song to go, so I will sing it ten different ways and then they choose what they like best.

A few days ago, you mentioned to me that you were harassed by a journalist who has made sexual advances at you for ages. When you rebuffed him he started writing derogatory stuff about you constantly. You finally named Subhash K Jha, a prominent veteran journalist, and outed him as a homosexual man. Your letter to his employer Times of India has made front page news and now I hear you are receiving death threats. Why give this man prominence by talking about him?

There are several reasons why I decided enough is enough. Subhash K Jha is someone who had constantly written positive things about me, but when he started making sexual innuendos in his conversations I told him I was not interested and to back off. I have all his messages saved. When he persisted I hrefused to give him any interviews and also told him to stay away from me. After that he went on a rampage where every two weeks I would see something nasty about me in print. I kept quiet thinking he will get tired of Sonu-bashing some day, but he has been relentless. The last article he wrote he said some things that were just so totally false while making another musician seem like the greatest star. I don't care if you don't like me or my music - you have every right to your opinion, but you cannot write blatant lies about me. I can still handle it but my parents, my sisters, and loved ones have been very upset by all this.

The media in India, until now, would boycott you if you say anything against any member of their fraternity and this man took full advantage of it writing damaging and derogatory things about anyone who hrefused to give him an interview. The legal recourses take forever, so many people just let things slide. I just decided I had had enough and wrote to the Times of India. I cannot believe why Amit ji, Shahrukh Khan, and others have not come forward to speak up against this man.

What really surprised me was the reaction of the media. I was very sure my letter won't be published, and that they were going to blacklist me. Instead not only was it published, but there were hour long discussions on CNN-IBN, Aaj Tak, and Mumbai Mirror, the big Times of India supplement in Mumbai has fired him from their paper.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at the number of celebrities from the film fraternity who have come forward and spoken in my support. The press and the industry in Bombay know what a terrible human being this man is, but he has sucked up to some important people. I hear that a legendary actor pays him a hefty sum to do his publicity and may be there are others he has latched on to, but I felt it was time his readers knew what he really was.

Yes I received death threats on my phone here in the US, and the police has been informed. I feel safe here, and I think things will have been resolved by the time I return to India.

One of the prime reasons I did this was to warn youngsters who are coming into this industry, to be very careful of who they talk to. If someone like me, an established member of the industry, can be sexually harassed and maligned, they can easily be intimidated into giving into predators like this man.

So many music shows have sprouted and so many singers are being turned into stars overnight and at such young ages. What do you make of all this. You are also a youth icon and so many kids imitate you and want to be like you, what tips would you give them?


The world has changed and marketing is playing a big role in music economics. These days there is lesser and lesser focus on integrity, talent and hard work. If you can market yourself well, you can be a star. But I'm a firm believer that in the long run the only way you will feel fulfilled and proud is if you have achieved success on the merits of your hard work and talent. So that is the path to take. And surround yourself with good people. I have a very small group of sensible and sensitive friends who allow me to take the time to hone my skills, surround me with positive energy and don't waste my time. If you stay true to yourself and work hard you will reach the top and even if someone manipulates their way in front of you, you will always be the one to earn the respect of others in the long run because of your integrity. The truth always comes out.

What are the exciting things in the work?

I first have a pure classical album coming out in 3-4 months and this is my toughest and most exciting project. It is an album composed by violinist Deepak Pandit who is like a brother to me and produced by Ajay Jhingan. We have done some very good work in it. Then there is the Rafi Album. I have also done a single, the first ever in the history of Indian music, a dance track. The project is being promoted by corporate houses like Reliance. It will be something you haven't seen before.

You have sung so many beautiful numbers, which would be your top five favorites?

Satrangi Re, Mera Rang De Basanti Chola, Soona Soona, from my new classical album which is easily my toughest song ever, Kal Ho Na Ho and Sandese Aaatey Hain, which is very close to my heart.

So is there anything else that you dream of doing? Also, you have managed to excel in so many things with such energy and dedication. How do you do that?

From the time I was a child, I have wanted to do one thing and I don't know if I will achieve all that I can in that area. I want to help the hijra (transgender) community in India. They receive no help from anyone and we shun them when they are in dire straits financially.
As for multi tasking, I believe in the mantra, you don't have to be successful in everything, but if you try, you can be good at everything!


SONU NIIGAAM THE PERFORMER

Stage and Sonu are words which go hand in hand. He has been singing since he was 3 and his energy and zest has only increased with every performance. Sonu has performed not only all over India but almost in every Continent. He has toured America, UK, Europe, South Africa, France, Germany, Pakistan, Dubai, Afghanistan, Africa, Singapore, Bangkok, New Zealand, Fiji Islands, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, Mauritius, Australia and Egypt. He always performs 'Live' with his band which makes him a class apart. The grandeur of his shows is always compared to star shows as no singer has ever been given such publicity and production value. His shows stretch over 3 and half hours with 2 entries where he alone performs in each segment for over an hour. His excellent rapport with the audience and his energetic acts bowled over the audiences all over the world and the magic continues. Some of his recent memorable and successful tours include the Idea Rocks India Tour in 2006, Simply Sonu Tours in 2006 and 2007 and The Incredibles tour of North America with Asha Bhonsle, Kunal Ganjawala and Kailash Kher in 2007. In 2006, he was also invited to Melbourne to perform at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games along with several other eminent personalities.

A huge landmark in Sonu's career was being invited to perform at the prestigious Harvard University in November 2007 on the momentous occasion of the Installation of Dr.Drew Gilpin Faust as Harvard University's 28^th president. Perhaps one could say history had been made. Not just Harvard history, which it certainly was, as the first ever South Asian, or any ethnic performance for that matter, at such a Harvard ceremony. But in a wider context, it was a symbolic moment of the next phase for our music on the world stage - one that will be looked upon often for inspiration. Sonu wholeheartedly accepted the honour of the stage realizing the immense potential the combination of his celebrity and this exalted platform held, in launching Indian music into the next orbit. He took Harvard students as his accompanists - a gesture of foresight that was greatly praised by faculty and administrators, and presented Gandhiji's favourite Bhajan 'Vaishnava Jana To' in his own style, transalating it into English as well.

Review on one of Sonu's soul-stirring shows



ON A GRAND MUSICAL JOURNEY Singing sensation Sonu Nigam performing at the concert. The crowd enjoying every moment of the show (below)

He kept the audience captivated with his rocking performance as he breathed new life into songs that you have heard a million times before. The venue was packed as thousands of fans gathered at the Andhra University Engineering College grounds to listen to the high-energy singer. Sonu Nigam, who was in the city for the first time for a concert organised by Idea Cellular Ltd., held the audience spell-bound with his magical voice giving new twists and turns to familiar songs.

The tickets got sold out a day before the event and the seats got filled an hour before the show. At 7.30 p.m., a dashing Sonu came on stage with his soul-stirring 'Kal Ho Na Ho...' as his brilliant band added the grand musical effect giving the melody, a slow emotional touch.

And there was the singing sensation at his best. "Thank you everyone for the wonderful welcome," he greeted the crowd as they screamed and waved at him and then added, "this evening will be the most memorable one for you all!"

It started off with the romantic numbers like 'Suraj Hua Madham...'adding a nostalgic effect to the mood of the evening. Then came the first gear shift of the evening. 'Rafta rafta...' he went and the crowd sprang to its feet. They hummed with the rocking Rehman track of 'Saathiya...' and to the melodious 'Chanda Ki Doli Mein...' that followed.


As he sang, Sonu went back to the memories of his struggling days. "After my first hit song 'Achha Sila Diya...', I used to get to sing only sad songs in films with tragic scenes. People thought that I was a depressed old man," he chuckled.

Indeed, for this talented singer, it was a tough and patient climb to the top of the charts. With stars in his eyes, he moved from Delhi to the city of dreams, Bombay, where he was to be hailed as the voice of the immortal Rafi Saheb. "I worship Mohd. Rafi. But with the changing times, I had to bring some improvisation in my voice," he said.

As he moved on with the musical evening, he involved the audience into dialogues, taking them with him in every moment of the trip.


Sometimes he just paused in between the song, prompting the audience to complete the song, always making sure that the audience remained captivated with his tasteful improvisations.

Keeping the crowd thoroughly entertained for two hours, he took them to an extraordinary musical journey sandwiching the modern fast numbers with an old melody or by announcing that he was going to sing a bhajan and breaking into the rocking 'Ghum Shuda...'.

Girls turned into cheerleaders as he sang 'Just chill...'. And in between, he entertained everyone with his jokes and amusing narration of incidents of his life. Giving him company was Indian Idol finalist Meenal who belted out a few fast numbers providing some break to Sonu.

The showman singer won many a heart as he ended the memorable musical evening with 'Kal Ho Na Ho...' leaving the audience asking for more



Social work




Main Hoon Na: Sonu Nigam to hearing impaired students


Sonu Nigam might have crooned his way up through commercial singing, but on Thursday afternoon at the Lion's School for the Hearing Impaired, Nigam matched duets for a cause - and giving him competition were the 30 odd speech and hearing impaired students. Not only did he entertain the students, but he also decided to present them a unique New Year gift - a set of 10 sophisticated hearing aids. An NRI from London also made a donation of 20 pieces of hearing machines.

'The donation will help our institute, since most of the students hail from poor homes. We had in fact given digital hearing equipment to a girl three months ago and it worked for her. She made huge progress. These new donations will be utilised in the best possible way,' remarked a teacher of the school.

Meanwhile, Nigam has been stationed at Rajkot for a series of stage shows that he is doing for a cellular brand and in fact came on the venue directly from the airport. He was invited by friend and actor Kunika. 'I thought it might be for cancer patients or some other cause, because Kunika is always involved in social work. It is strange that my audience are these children, because they can't hear properly. Yet in a way they are my audience,' he says. The singer, who also handed over some other gifts to the kids, kept them entertained throughout. He sang songs from 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai' and 'Main Hoon Na' for the children. Needless to say, they seemed impressed. Evidently, he turned out to be as popular with the kids, as with the music connoisseurs.
