Profile

ENTRY INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Sanjeev has not received any formal trainings on music except for a six month stint under Sharda Chhetri. He learned to play the guitar and the keyboard when he he stayed at his grandparents' place.

As he used to be pretty tied up singing at various hotels, wider audience eluded him. After five years, that is in 2002 he made his debut with his first album 'Akash Bata'. The songs "Akash Bata", " and "Chulesima" in particular were able to create quite a few ripples in the market. Sanjeev Singh had finally arrived!
