He is the voice behind more than 4,000 songs and several Hindi, Punjabi and Kannada pop albums, some of which he has also composed the music for.
And now Mirror has learnt that singer Sonu Nigam has paired up with Bickram Ghosh, a tabla player who dabbles in both Hindustani classical as well as fusion music to turn music director for a feature film for the very first time.
The film in question is Shekhar Ghosh's Sooper Se Ooper and Sonu and Bickram will be composing the music for it.
Sonu confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, Bickram and I have teamed up. We are very strict about what kind of projects we will do. When Shekhar narrated the script, it was something we couldn't say no to. In fact, when you talk to Shekhar, he will tell you that I heard the script more number of times than the lead actor."
Why such a step at this juncture of his career? Sonu said in his defence, "I think today, the scenario in the music industry has changed. Earlier, there was a lot of filmipana in people and working with them wasn't my cup of tea. Today, it is lot better. Also, the paradigm shift in 2009, when I shifted to America, living there alone, disconnected with everyone, I heard a lot of different kind of music there and it helped me understand how to put together different types of music as I am used to programming."
He added that Bickram and he are simultaneously working on another film Jal directed by Girish Malik although they are not sure which one will hit the floors first.
