Sukhwinder Singh (born 18 July 1971) is an internationally acclaimed Indian Bollywood playback singer. Singh is famous internationally for singing "Jai Ho" from the film Slumdog Millionaire which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. His rendition for the 2014 released film Haider fetched him the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer.
One of his most famous songs is "Chaiyya Chaiyya" for which he won the Best Male Playback Award at the 1999 Filmfare Awards. The song, from Mani Ratnam's 1998 film Dil Se.., was composed by A. R. Rahman, written by Gulzar, and sung in duet with Sapna Awasthi. It was also featured in the musical Bombay Dreams and, in remixed arrangements, in the titles and credits segments of Spike Lee's 2006 film Inside Man.
Biography
Sukhwinder Singh hails from hathi gate in bhatti family Amritsar, Punjab. He first performed on stage at the young age of 8, singing the Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar number "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" from the 1970 movie Abhinetri. He also released a Punjabi album called Munda Southhall Da with T. Singh, joined Laxmikant–Pyarelal’s troupe, and quickly became a music arranger before heading to South India to look for work, wherein, he sang for the Tamil film Ratchagan.
Singh got his first Bollywood break in the blockbuster patriotic movie Karma in which he sang a few lines. Then, he sang the hit song "Aaja Sanam" in a film named Khilaaf. But he realised that something was missing in his voice, so he took a sabbatical and left Mumbai to tour England and America to see, hear, and understand various forms of music. After this broadening of his musical horizons, he returned to Mumbai to kick-start his musical career.
His first effort in Hindi films, Aaja Sanam, went largely unnoticed even though the music carried the names of Laxmikant–Pyarelal. Then for Dil Se.., A. R. Rahman used Sukhwinder for "Chaiyya Chaiyya". The other films that followed — including Taal, Biwi No.1, 1947: Earth, Daag: The Fire, Jaanwar, Dillagi, Moksha, Thakshak, Tere Naam, Apna Sapna Money Money, Shaadi Se Pehle, Shabd, Chak De! India, Om Shanti Om, and Black & White — have made him a household name.
He has been well received for providing playback singing for Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan in a total of 7 songs. Of these, "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from Dil Se.., "Dard-E-Disco" from Om Shanti Om, "Chak De India" from Chak De! India, "Haule Haule" from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, "Marjaani" from Billu, "Satakali" from Happy New Year, and "Udi Udi Jaye" from Raees have become certified hits.
Singh has provided playback for many notable Bollywood actors including Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Arjun Rampal, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Tushar Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Sanjay Dutt, Bobby Deol, Ranbir Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Farhan Akhtar, and Sunny Deol.
