संजीत हेगड़े

Sanjith Hegde is a playback singer and composer from Bengaluru who rose to prominence in Kannada cinema before expanding across South Indian languages and, more recently, Hindi. Trained in music from childhood, he first drew attention as a contestant on the Kannada singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. His breakthrough came with 'Kush Kush' from Chamak (2017), which won him a Mirchi Music Award, and 'Gunu Gunuguva' from Dalapathi (2018), which dominated Kannada music charts. His tender rendition of 'Shaakuntle Sikkalu' from Naduve Antaravirali earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer – Kannada in 2019. Known for a supple, contemporary voice that moves easily between film pop, indie and devotional material, he has sung in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi, and has also worked as a composer on projects including the Netflix anthology Pitta Kathalu (2021) and the Tamil film Por/Dange (2024). In 2025 he made a mark in Hindi with 'Dhuan Dhuan' from Aap Jaisa Koi, the chant-driven 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' from the animated hit Mahavatar Narsimha, and the independent collaboration 'Banda Kaam Ka' with Chaar Diwaari, signalling his arrival as a multilingual voice of his generation.
