Since a successful Bollywood playback singer is nothing if not versatile, Singh sings not just in Hindi and Bengali but also in Telugu and other regional languages. That 2013 performance nabbed Singh several awards and nominations, including his first Filmfare award for best male playback singer-with dozens of awards and more than 200 nominations to follow. After making his Bollywood debut with the plaintive "Phir Mohabbat (Again Love)” from Mithoon’s 2001 Murder 2, Singh again teamed up with the director for the hopelessly lovelorn "Tum Hi Ho (You Are the One)” from Aashiqui 2. Appearances in two music-oriented reality series provided both exposure and the funds for his own Mumbai studio, and his commercial work there earned him an apprenticeship with classically trained composer Pritam. Born in 1987 in West Bengal, Arijit Singh studied classical singing, tabla and the Rabindra Sangeet song repertoire from a trio of musical gurus with classical music on the wane in the early 2000s, all three gurus encouraged him to pursue a career in pop. This low-key, laidback Bollywood playback superstar combines classical Indian training with modern romantic emoting.
