Shaan

Shaan

They say when there is music within your heart, it has to be heard. So was the case with Shantanu Mukherjee, aka Shaan, who tried dabbling with other vocations before coming back to what he loved and did best - singing. Getting to where he stands now, was of course, no easy task. That probably explains his easy, unassuming disposition.

Though Q-Funk was Shaan's first release in 1995, the album that fetched him more recognition was his second release, Roop Inka Mastana, a remixed version of R D Burman's hits. It was made possible by remix guru Biddu, who rechristened him Shaan. The album featured artistes besides Shaan, and included older sister, Sagarika. Shaan made his solo debut with the album, Loveology in 1996 - a commonplace pop album that did not do his career much good. This time round, he was written off by critics, who thought he was just another of the talentless multitude.

But lady luck at last decided to smile down upon Shaan in 2000, and the singer delivered Tanha Dil, an exceptionally promising album, featuring some soulful ballads, as well as catchy tunes. The album finally established him as a serious singer of considerable worth.

Shaan's foray into film music was with the film Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi in which he sang two numbers, Musu musu and Woh pehli baar.

Apart from his albums, Shaan has sung playback vocals for various Bollywood films, including Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai , Lakshya, Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, Hum Tum, Dhoom, Dus, Salaam Namaste, Fight Club, Don - The Chase Begins Again, Fanaa, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, and Om Shanti Om. He hosted the television show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee TV, which won the Music Programme of the Year award at the Indian Telly Awards in 2003.

Shaan is now the host of another very popular music show called 'Star Voice of India (SVOI) which airs on Star Plus. Along with singing, Shaan has also acted in the movie, Daman, also starring Raveena Tandon. He has made appearances in his songs in the movies, Zameen and Hungama.
