Mika Singh : Bad Boy of The Bollywood

How does bagging a Film fare Award matter..!

How much of a deal is to work with the best music directors in the Industry..!

And how does it mean a lot to sing for A-list Actors..!

Minus everything that qualifies one as a talented playback singer; Mika is there and on the top...

Amrik Singh, real name of Mika Singh, born on June 10 in Durgapur, west Bengal. He brought up in Patna, Bihar along with his brother Daler Mehndi. His father, Ajmer Singh Chandan, is a trained classical Musician of the old school. His mother, Balbir Kaur, was also aware of Folk Music.

Ask any Dj or a party hopper how many times Tu Mera Hero is played; for that matter, the scene is not very different at weddings. “Fans tell me that the party begins with the song and ends with it. To a singer, this is the biggest compliment," says Mika, the voice behind the super hit track of the Movie Desi Boyzzz. The song is just the beginning of his list of 30 Hit Tracks in the last one year.

Mika does not mind bragging about his success story. Humility is not a word meant for him. Neither when it comes to his hit songs nor his passions. "I recently bought two camels because i just wanted to." He goes on, "I also bought an Island in Damdama Lake and a small forest near Delhi." He once felt the same for his small army of body guards... Remember when they bashed up Rakhi Sawant's Boyfriend after that Kiss incident. Rakhi Sawant was kissed by Mika when she went to his place to attend a party and wish him on his Birth Day in June 2006. "I don't have any now but i am happy that I triggered off this trend in Bollywood."

Mika set off another trend in the Industry that of Nasal Singing. While that's what people call it, he says that's his style, which was soon follwed by Himesh Reshammiya and Salim Sulaiman, "It's my style and if people have liked it then that's enough for me. Take the example of Kolaveri Di; people liked it even if music critics didn't." He also gets the credit for making Punjabi Singers venture into Bollywood and he is happy to quate the recent examples of Babbu Mann and Diljit Dosanjh.

Mika has participated in some reality shows called Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao and Music Ka Maha Muqabala etc.

Mika is next working upon Ganpat version - 2. The first was superhit, which encouraged him to even write the second. "It is important to relise that none of my songs are the title numbers. Tu Mera Hero was the fourth track; Mauja Hi Mauja of Jab We Met was the second track and same in the case of Dhin-ka-Chika of Ready. My Songs eventually become bigger than the films." He hasn't worked for the big banners but something he resolves to do this year is sing for Amitabh Bachchan. Though there is nothing in the pipeline, he is sure that something will work out.

Minus any pretensions, while he loves to boast of what he does and what he owns, there’s something he doesn't readily talk about. Nudge him a bit; even then the details come through reluctantly. "I run an NGO in Delhi by the name of "Divine Touch", where 300 girls are given vocational training annually." And that is where it ends. He again hops back to his favorite topic - I, Me, Myself. "I might be the bad boy of Bollywood but i am not that bad. Controversies follow me but that is because I am Successful. All My Songs are a Hit..." Rest goes on and on....!
