Delhi, India

Kailash Kher’s spectacular journey from a humble upbringing to revered pop star, Bollywood playback singer and television celebrity is nothing less then remarkable. It is also a testament to the strength and appeal of what is undeniably one of the most unique voices in Indian music today.

Born July 7, 1973 in Merut on the outskirts of Delhi, India to a family with Kashmiri roots, Kher moved to New Delhi as a young child. Kher’s father, a Hindu priest, was an amateur musician whose performances of traditional folk songs were a regular household event. Even as a four year old, Kher revealed a natural musical talent and he would often impress friends and family by belting out songs with his prematurely powerful voice. At the age of 14, Kher left home in search of a guru to further his musical training, and he embarked on years of classical and folk music study.

At first, his parents discouraged his dedication to music, and in deference to their wishes Kher tried his hand at the import/export business. Clearly, his passions lay elsewhere, as this endeavor proved a dismal failure. In 2001, Kher left New Delhi for Mumbai, the epicenter of India’s highly competitive music industry, to seek his fortunes as a professional singer. For a while, Kher struggled, living in cheap residence hotels and eking out whatever musical work he could find to make ends meet. Kher’s first recording was on an advertising jingle for a diamond company, for which he was paid the equivalent of $100.

    मोहम्मद अल्लामा ‘इक़बाल’ सितारों के आगे जहाँ और भी हैं अभी इश्क़ के इम्तिहाँ और भी हैं तही ज़िन्दगी से नहीं ये फ़ज़ाएँ यहाँ सैकड़ों कारवाँ और भी हैं क़नाअत न कर आलमे-रंगो-बूपर चमर और भी आशियाँ और भी हैं अगर खो गया इक नशेमन तो क्या ग़म मक़ामाते-आहो-फ़ुग़ाँ और भी हैं तू शाहीं है पर्वाज़ है काम तेरा तिरे सामने आस्माँ और भी हैं इसी रोज़ो-शब में उलझकर न रह जा कि तेरे ज़मानो-मक़ाँ और भी हैं गए दिन कि तन्हा था मैं अंजुमन में यहाँ अब मिरे राज़दाँ और भी हैं
