Sonu Nigam A-Z: An Ode to His Musical Journey

Sonu Nigam's musical journey began at the tender age of eighteen, when he came to the city of dreams to become a playback singer. His was not an overnight success. He built his heritage, note by note, one song at a time - a heritage that continues to grow to this day. 

This series of blogs is an attempt to examine this man's body of work, his vision and his ginormous contribution to the world of music over the years. 

When I began writing these blogs, I agonised over the tone. Should they be an impersonal account of the songs sung by Sonu Nigam? Then I thought - heck, no. This is not a DIY manual or a London A-Z. It is about my idol, my guru, my farishta. How can I write about such a one without dipping the pen into my heart? So, when you read them, you will find facts and figures intertwined with feelings and emotions - much like everything Sonu himself does. Whether he is singing, composing, or performing, his work is always immersed in passion and emotion and has made him who he is today.

Writing these blogs has been an emotional journey for me. I cried while writing certain portions, laughed at Sonu's audacity and guts at other times. But for the most part, I felt an immense respect and awe for this man. I was staggered by the sheer volume of work he has done and overwhelmed by the enormity of the task at hand. 

It is impossible to capture the quintessence of a man whose accomplishments are of such monumental proportions into a few blogs, but I'm going to do the best I can. I hope you enjoy my humble endeavour.
