All these years, Himesh has given many musical gifts like Tere Naam, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Kyon Ki, Aksar and many more. His musical journey is too long and vivid to be concluded in a single piece of writing. The actor has been actively involved in mentoring and judging the popular singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge on Zee TV.
Himesh Reshammiya is one of the most popular and successful music directors of Bollywood. He entered the industry with 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya' where he was the music director along with composers Jatin–Lalit and Sajid–Wajid. Himesh had his first success as a solo music director from 'Tere Naam'. After tasting success in the field of music direction, he tried his luck in playback singing and his first playback song 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' became a rage. The music director won many awards for his contribution to the music industry. He bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer in 2006 for Aashiq Banaya Aapne. He also received Star Screen Award, IIFA Award, Zee Cine Award for this popular music track. He became the first ever Bollywood singer to have received a Filmfare Award for his debut song.
His style of music is a hybrid result of Western and Indian music. Himesh is also fondly known as musical hit machine by his fans. Though Himesh always justified his nasal tone as high pitch voice, he used to be deeply hurt when the critics criticized it as pure nasal voice. Reportedly Himesh later also went under a vocal cord surgery which resulted in a dual voice, one with nasal tone and one without it!
