Sonu Niigaam born on 30th July, 1973, in Faridabad, Haryana. He is the only son of Agam Kumar Nigam, a popular singer in North India. Ever since he was a child, Sonu heard the strings of music ringing through the house. No wonder he developed a liking for music early on! He grew up accompanying his father at musical performances. He was educated in Dehli and studied at the JD Tyler School and Dehli University. However, his studious ways did not stop him from pursuing what he loved. He became a child artist and appeared in films such as, Pyaara Dushman and Kaamchor. As a teenager, he participated in many music competitions, where he was no stranger to the winner's circle. He later moved to Mumbai to officially pursue his music career. Initially, Niigaam struggled to find work, but all that changed when he met the late Gulshan Kumar of T-series. He had his first hit song with 'Aacha Sila Diya Tune Mere Pyar.' That's when things really took off for him. He became a host in ZEE T.V.'s show , 'Sa Re Ga Ma,' and since then, Sonu has become a household name and legendary performer. Just in the last year, 20 to 25 of his film songs have become super duper hits. For example, 'Taal','Sangharsh','Haseena Maan Jayegi','Dil Se', 'Pardes', 'Aur Pyar Ho Gaya', 'Border', 'Major Saab', 'Jeans','Refugee','Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge','Hadh Kar Di Apne','Jungle','Joru Ka Gulam'- just to name a few. In the last decade, Sonu Niigaam has exploded on the Bollywood song scene. He hosts TV shows, DJ's on the radio, and produces smash hits...all in a day's work for this superstar! see less biography
