Biography and career records reviewed 23 Oct 2026.

Arijit Singh emerged from Jiaganj in West Bengal and trained in classical music before developing a career as a playback singer and producer. Fame Gurukul in 2005 supplied an early public platform rather than an immediate film breakthrough.

Phir Mohabbat and Tum Hi Ho

Phir Mohabbat in 2011 preceded the much wider recognition of Tum Hi Ho in 2013. Those recordings are useful landmarks for understanding a voice subsequently associated with romantic film songs, concerts and independent music.

AllMusic

The musician beyond playback

Singh’s 2025 Padma citation describes classical training with Rajendra Prasad Hazari and Birendra Prasad Hazari, music production and independent projects. It also records support for other artists through Oriyon Music. These activities broaden the picture beyond the romantic film recordings that first made his voice widely recognised.

Freshness, without guesswork

Statistics retain their source observation dates. A page refresh does not make a historical chart, career record or commercial estimate newer. Figures without a usable source observation are not displayed.

What the data can tell you

Public counts do not measure unique people, audience authenticity, private reach or actual earnings. Associated brand accounts are labeled separately from personal accounts, and sampled engagement is limited to the posts in that sample.
