Profile
This singer who churned out mega hits such as 'Abhi mujh mein kahi' from Agneepath in 2012 and 'Tere bin' from Wazir (2016) is now enhancing his career as a composer-singer rather than just a singer. In 2016, he was busy composing music for five films, such as Tum Jo Mil Gaye, Dil 2 and Band of Maharajas. Nigam is set to make a comeback as a judge on the popular reality TV show Indian Idol in its seventh season. His popularity remains intact at his various live concerts.
Fast Fact: In May, he created a buzz on the internet after his six-minute video, 'The Roadside Ustaad', registered 3.3 million views on YouTube in less than a week.
