Jagjit SinghClick to view attachment

Birth: Feb 8th, 1941

Birthplace: SriGanganagar, Rajasthan.

Profession: Playback Singer, Bollywood.

Family: Wife Chitra Singh

He is the numero-uno of the ghazal world. His poignant and meaningful
lyrics and hauntingly mellow voice stimulates many a thinking

mind.Jagjit Singh's articulation of tenderness and exclusive choice of
lyrical poetry of renowned Urdu poets has helped him create a fond and
firm niche in millions of hearts. The Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh
brings a welcome respite from the raucous Bhangra dhols and the inanity
of Indipop.Jagjit Singh is known for imparting sensibility to the
declining standards of Indian music. His latest album "Aaeena" is a
delectable music treat replete with ghazals and songs of love, longing,
pain and separation.



Jagjit Singh was born on 8th February 1941 at SriGanganagar in
Rajasthan. His father Sardar AmarSingh Dhiman, a Government servant,
originally hailed from Dalla village in Ropar district and his mother
Sardarni Bachchan Kaur came from deeply religious Sokhi family of
Ottallan village near Samralla. His siblings include four sisters and
two brothers and he is fondly called Jeet by his family.Although his
late father always wanted him to pursue IAS as a career, he took
immense pride in his son's achievements in the world of music today.
Schooling was done from Khalsa High School at SriGanganagar. He passed
his Inter in Science stream from Government college, SriGanganagar. He
graduated in the Arts stream from DAV College, Jalandhar. He also
acquired a Post Graduate Degree in history from Kurukshetra University,
Haryana.


His association with music goes back to his childhood days when he was
twelve years old. He first learnt under Pandit Chaganlal Sharma for two
years in SriGanganagar. After which for another six years he learnt
under Ustad Jamaal Khan of Sainia Gharana, under whom he learnt all
forms of Indian ClassicalMusic - Khayal, Thumri and Drupad and gained
early recognition from his recordings at HMV and EMI India. He always
had an open mind and was ready to learn from lesser known but talented
musicians throughout his college days.

and was ready to learn from lesser known but talented musicians
throughout his college days.


He reached Bombay in 1965 and his struggle from another wannabe to the
pinnacle of Ghazal started. Like any other struggler, he too had his
share of trials and tribulations. He never had a god-father and hence
it was an uphill task to survive in Mumbai. He lived as a paying guest
and accepted every singing assignment that came his way - be it jingles
for ad films or performing at weddings and parties.



In 1967 Jagjit met Chitra who hails from a Bengali Shome family of
Calcutta. Her mother, Krishna Roy, was a Classical vocalist. Chitra was
the only child of her parents. She did her graduation in English
Honours and also learnt Classical Music and Rabindra Sangeet in
Calcutta. She had a diverse range of interests, ranging from painting
to dance forms like Manipuri and Bharat Natyam. They got married in
1969. Jagjit Singh pioneered the ghazal wave in India in 1976, thus
creating a new music genre with his debut album "The Unforgettables"
with wife Chitra. Against the backdrop of a delectable amalgamation of
western and Indian instruments he gave a new form to ghazal and
nazm.The love affair that started with 'The Unforgettables' continued
well into 'Ecstasies'. It flew high with 'A Sound Affair' and grew
passionate with 'Passions'. Needless to say, that all of them
disappeared from the shelves like magic. And magic it was, of the duo's
voice, of the blissful romance and the utter blithesome quality of
their Ghazals.


While the above-mentioned albums were breezy, 'Beyond Time' released in
the opening years of nineties was an experimentation with sounds and
conveyed a feeling that was beyond space and time. Around this time the
duo was struck by grief as their only son Vivek Singh met a car
accident, on July 28, 1990.Chitra stopped singing and retired
completely from singing after the sudden death of their only
son.Shocking, as it was to them, it was as much shocking for the
innumerable fans across the world. The album is a tour to the soul,
ethereal, conscientious and introspective. Fraught with pain, the album
in one word is touching. 'Someone Somewhere' has become the last album
by the duo together and subsequently Chitra Singh called it quits.


The towering persona of Jagjit Singh braved the tragedy and continued
alone treating the listeners with gems like 'Hope', 'In Search',
'Insight', 'Mirage', 'Visions', 'Kahkashan', 'Love Is Blind', 'Chirag'
and a few others. 'Sajda' in collaboration with Lata Mangeshkar was
another brilliant release and made its mark as a classic Ghazal album.
His evergreen ghazals like "Baat Niglegi To Phir" and "Sarakti Jai Hai
Rukh Se" are still hummed for their sheer magic and charm. His musical
genius was further exhibited through filmi ghazals for films like "Prem
Geet", "Saath Saath" and "Arth". Of his latest release there is an
album of his ghazals "Saher" and two compilation albums "Jazbaat" and
"Dil Kahin Hosh Kahin" along with singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Asha
Bhosle.


Like a true genius, Jagjit Singh did not restrict himself to Ghazals
and has also cut a few albums of Bhajans. 'Maa', 'Hare Krishna', 'Hey
Ram...Hey Ram', 'Ichhabal' and also 'Man Jeetai Jagjeet' in Punjabi,
put him in the league of Bhajan singers Mukesh, Hari Om Sharan,
Yesudas, Anup Jalota and Nitin Mukesh.


Of late, there has been a clear shift in the mood of his Ghazals; they
have acquired a more soulful and poignant demeanour, as in 'Marasim',
'Face To Face' and the latest 'Aaeena' 'Cmy For Cry'. But all through
this romance never took a backseat! The journey to the soul is
punctuated by romantic pauses like 'Dil Kahin Hosh Kahin'. A testimony
to his popularity is his Ghazals in recent Bollywood flicks like
'Dushman', 'Sarfarosh' and 'Tarkieb'. In addition to cultivating his
own successful career, Jagjit Singh has been involved in guiding many
new talents such as Talat Aziz and Vinod Sehgal. He is also active in
several philanthropic endeavors such as the Library at St.Mary's,
Bombay Hospital, CRY, and ALMA, an organization whose focus is to adopt
students for further education and development.
