Mini bio
A musical home.
Arijit grew up in Jiaganj in West Bengal. In a 2013 interview, he described learning in a family where his grandmother, mother and aunt sang and his uncle played tabla. His teachers trained him in Indian classical music, tabla, Rabindra Sangeet and pop.
Building his way in.
He entered Fame Gurukul in 2005. Behind the scenes, he developed his skills as a programmer and producer before becoming widely known as a playback singer. He later told The Statesman that he used his prize money from 10 Ke 10 Le Gaye Dil to build a recording studio.
The songs fans found him through.
Tum Hi Ho from Aashiqui 2 became his breakthrough in 2013 and brought him the 2014 Filmfare award for male playback singing. Later favourites include Channa Mereya, Kesariya and Sajni. The official Channa Mereya credits also list him as a music programmer.
A new chapter.
In January 2026 he announced that he would stop taking new playback assignments. Releases continued from earlier commitments, including Yeh Awarapan. His work also reaches beyond film soundtracks through collaborations with Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran, and his announced 2027 India tour keeps live performance at the centre of the next chapter.
