Life and early career
Life
Singh was born on 25 April 1987[1] in Jiaganj, Murshidabad, West Bengal to a Punjabi father and a Bengali mother.[24] He began his music training at a young age at home. His maternal aunt trained in Indian classical music, and his maternal grandmother used to sing. His maternal uncle played the tabla, and his mother also sang and played the tabla. He studied at Raja Bijay Singh High School and later at the Sripat Singh College, a University of Kalyani affiliate.[25] According to him he "was a decent student, but cared more about music" and his parents decided to train him professionally. He was taught Indian classical music by Rajendra Prasad Hazari and trained in tabla by Dhirendra Prasad Hazari. Birendra Prasad Hazari taught him Rabindra Sangeet (songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore) and pop music.[25][26]
At the age of three he started training under the Hazari brothers, and at the age of nine, he got a scholarship from the government for training in vocals in Indian classical music.[27]
Growing up, he listened to Mozart, Beethoven and Bengali classical music.[citation needed] He idolised musicians like Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Rashid Khan, Zakir Hussain and Anand Chatterjee, and enjoyed listening to Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey.[28]
In 2014 Singh married Koyel Roy, a childhood friend.[28][29][30] He has two children.[31][32]
Singh resides in Andheri, Mumbai.[7]
Early career
Singh's musical career began when his guru Rajendra Prasad Hazari, who felt that "Indian classical music was a dying tradition", insisted he leave his hometown and participate in the reality show Fame Gurukul (2005) at the age of 18.[27][33] He approached the finals of the programme but was eliminated by audience polling, finishing in sixth place.[34]
During the show, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali recognised his talent and had him sing "Yun Shabnami" a song scheduled to be used in his upcoming film Saawariya. During production, the script changed and the song was no longer required. It was never released.[35] After the Fame Gurukul, Kumar Taurani, the head of Tips, signed him for an album which was never released.[24][36]
He won another reality show 10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil.[10] He chose to move to Mumbai in the 2006 to freelance, staying in a rented room in the Lokhandwala area of the city.[22][24][33] He invested the prize money from 10 ke 10 Le Gaye Dil to build his own recording studio. He became a music producer and began composing music and singing pieces for advertisements, news channels and radio stations.[22][37][38]
Singh spent part of his early musical career as a music programmer and music producer for music directors such as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar, Mithoon, Monty Sharma and Pritam. While working with other composers he supervised the vocals, and the chorus sections. But it was while working with Pritam, that he began to produce and programme music by himself.

The way he emotes and the soul he puts into each song is exemplary."[141]India Today describes his voice as "raw and grainy", whereas the paper's Moeena Halim identifies his voice as soulful and baritone,[142][143] while the International Business Times considers his voice "soothing".[144]Koimoi, in a review, commended his voice.[145]Bollywood Hungama, in a review of Aashiqui 2, described Singh as a singer with a "rich texture and depth in his voice".

Singh has said that he would most like to explore the classical music style.[140] He has also said that he loves singing folk music, and likes all genres except for heavy metal music—since it is too loud for him.[139] Singh is most commonly known for his romantic songs and was associated with the tag "romantic singer". Regarding that, Singh said the tag of romantic singer is unintentional, as he has not planned his career. He is happy with the songs that come his way and tries to do his best.[148] Singh does not believe that doing just one type of song is "hampering" his growth.[149] However, through his career, he has explored different musical styles, including; a club party song "Raat Bhar", an electronic "Blame The Night", a Punjabi Folk "Samjhawan", a Sufi or Qawwali song "Mast Magan" and a ghazal titled "Gulon Mein Rang Bhare".

The song finds an instant connect with the listener."[154]
Singh's "mispronunciation" of the phonetic 'ta' syllable was criticised by India West while reviewing the song "Chunar".[155] Similarly, Bollywood Hungama considered his pronunciation "flawed" in the title track of Khamoshiyan.[78] However the producer of the film Khamoshiyan, Mahesh Bhatt said, "It is a sensational song. One of the best songs that I have heard in my lifetime and its poetry is simply brilliant."[156]
While reviewing the rest of his tracks in the film, The Indian Express, felt that Singh's rendition of the song sounds as "he's on autopilot", though Rajiv Vijayakar from Bollywood Hungama felt his rendition was "emotional".[78][157]
Reviewing the song "Soch Na Sake" with music composed by Amaal Mallik from the movie Airlift Bollywood Hungama acclaimed Singh's rendition of the song.[158]
Singh insists on the presence of lyricists during recording sessions for a better understanding of the relevance of the words and feelings behind a song. He has said his favourite lyricists are Irshad Kamil, Sayeed Quadri and Amitabh Bhattacharya.[159] While talking with Subhash Ghai at a question and answers session at Whistling Woods International Campus on arts and technique of singing at the 5th Veda Cultural Hub, Arijit said "Singing is like talking. It is an art of expression. There are other factors too but they all follow on once you understand your lyrics and rhythm well. There are no rules. You just have to practice well." Sharing his childhood memories he said, "I mostly practiced modern Bengali and Indian classical music. My guru Rajendra Prasad Hazari inspired me to practice more of modern singing as according to him Indian classical was dying."[160]
In media
Singh has often been portrayed by the Indian media as a "small town boy who made it big".[10][21][161]
