Himesh Reshammiya is an Indian music director, singer, producer, lyricist, writer, distributor and actor.

Pre-film career

Himesh lost his elder brother at the age of 11; Himesh decided to take up music as his career after the incident to fulfill his father's wishes. He did his schooling at Hill Grange School in Peddar Road area, Mumbai. Himesh started his career with HR Enterprises production house, which produced and aired quite a few TV soaps on Doordarshan Ahmedabad and Zee TV. His popular Zee TV serials were Andaz, Amar Prem, Jaan, Ashiqui, and Dum Dama Dum, among others. Himesh composed/wrote the music, screenplay and story for all of his TV serials. His music was well received by viewers. Himesh then had the opportunity with HMV to do an album with Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, entitled Zindagi. While most of the songs were composed by Himesh, one of the songs was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which had a video. During his TV serial production days, he met Salman Khan, who gave Himesh his first film break.

Music and film career

Reshammiya's first big break came through actor Salman Khan. Khan gave Reshammiya the chance to be a music director for the film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya along with composers Jatin–Lalit and Sajid–Wajid. After the success of the album, Khan and Reshammiya shared many hit film albums together, such as Hello Brother, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Tere Naam,Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Bodyguard, Kick, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and others.

He had his first success[citation needed] as a music director of the 2003 film, Tere Naam. After a series of successful films as music director, he entered playback singing with the film Aashiq Banaya Aapne, the songs of which went on to become major hit. And he also won several awards like Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer, IIFA Award for Best Male Playback, Zee Cine Award for Best Playback Singer – Male for singing the title track of Aashiq Banaya Aapne.

As a singer, he churned out songs like "Aashiq Banaya Aapne", "Tera Suroor", "Mujhko Yaad Sataye Teri", "Zara Jhoom Jhoom", "Jhalak Dikhlaja", "Shakalaka Boom Boom", "Hookah Bar", "Chalao Na Naina Se", which were very popular. Reshammiya's music has a style of composition based on a fusion of Western and Indian classical music accompanied by techno beats. He started his acting career with his debut film, Aap Kaa Surroor.[1]

In August 2010, it was announced that music video director Roman White is going to direct videos of Reshammiya's first international album in English, named @ Da Edge, which was to be released in 2014; [needs update] the album to be released in 122 countries.[citation needed] Reshammiya was the first Indian singer to perform at the Wembley Arena and the Heineken music hall in Amsterdam.[2]

Before becoming a music director, Himesh Reshammiya produced several television serials, including Amar Prem and Andaaz on Zee TV. He also composed the title song of both.

Reshammiya was actively involved in mentoring and judging the singing competition, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge on Zee TV. His group was known as Rock Gharana. He was the winning mentor of the show in 2007. In 2009, Vaishali Mhade, a female contestant from his Rock Gharana, won the singing competition. He is also the team captain, judge and mentor on Star Plus's show, Music Ka Maha Muqqabla for the team Himesh's Warriors. Reshammiya also was the judge of the musical reality show Sur Kshetra which was telecasted on Sahara One. Reshammiya appeared as the special guest in the Grand Finale of 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar' 2.Himesh also trained the top four contestants.[3]

On 4 November 2013, it was announced that Himesh will be acting and producing a movie named The Xposé.[4]

Alleged copyright violation

In his debut film as an actor, Aap Kaa Surroor, Himesh Reshammiya added a song Tanhaiyaan from Boney Kapoor's proposed film Milenge Milenge.[5] Initially, Reshammiya had composed the song for Kapoor's film but later decided to use it for his own movie. Tips, which held the audio rights of Milenge Milenge, accused Reshammiya of copyright violation, as audio rights for Aap Kaa Surroor – The Real Luv Story were acquired by T-Series.[6] However, Reshammiya defended himself saying that he had made Kapoor listen to the song, but it was not included in Milenge Milenge. He also claimed to have tried to get in touch with Kapoor for seven months, and since there was no progress on the film, he decided to use the song for his own movie.[7]
