Name: KK

Description:

His friend, lyricist Mehboob, introduced him to music director Ismail Darbar when the latter was looking for singers for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. "He did a few rehearsals and said, `Is ladke ko le lo. Ye bade dil se gaata hai'. After that I never looked back," he recalls with a smile.KK broke through onto the Bollywood circuit with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam back in 1999. The song was 'Tadap Tadap' and it established this young singer as a voice to watch out for. Now KK is yet another voice in the Indian film music scene.His distinctly clear voice and excellent throw has made him Pritam, Vishal-Shekhar and other music director's favorite. Also, according to many, he is the new voice of India in the sense that almost all struggling singers want his voice.It is not easy to believe that singer KK, who can render with equal expertise a wide range of songs, from the soft and sorrowful "Awarapan, banjarapan" (Jism) to the high-pitched "Tadap tadap ke" (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam), from the naughty "O' hum dum suniyo re" (Sathiya), to the romantic number "Tu aashiqui hai" (Jhankar Beats) or ajab si (Om Shanti Om), is exceptionally shy, especially when it comes to speaking to the media.Hearing his vast range, it is tough to believe that he had no formal training .. And that despite his popularity he remains extremely humble.
