नकाश अज़ीज़

Nakash Aziz is the voice Bollywood reaches for when a song needs unstoppable energy. Born in Mangaluru, Karnataka, and raised in nearby Moodabidri, he entered the industry not as a singer but as a composer of jingles and devotional albums, then spent formative years as an assistant to A. R. Rahman, contributing to the music of Delhi-6, Rockstar, Raanjhanaa and Highway. That apprenticeship in craft paid off when playback stardom arrived in 2013: 'Dhating Naach' from Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and the twin blockbusters 'Saree Ke Fall Sa' and 'Gandi Baat' from R... Rajkumar established him as Hindi cinema's go-to voice for high-voltage dance numbers. He won a Zee Cine Award for fresh singing talent in 2014, and in 2016 delivered 'Jabra Fan' for Shah Rukh Khan's Fan, one of the most inescapable promotional anthems of its decade. Unusually versatile for a 'masala' specialist, Aziz sings across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada cinema, and his composer's ear gives his vocals a rhythmic precision that choreographers love. He remains prolific into the mid-2020s, with recent Hindi credits including 'Loveyapa Ho Gaya' (2025) and 'Ishq Manzoor' (2025).
