Born on August 23, 1968, in Delhi, KK was not trained in classical music but found his calling through his sheer passion and talent. Despite holding a degree in commerce, he chose to follow his passion for music and took a leap of faith into the world of playback singing. Initially, he began by singing jingles for commercials, gaining popularity through his soulful voice. But it was his debut album Pal in 1999 that catapulted him to fame. Songs like "Pal" and "Yaaron" from the album not only won accolades but also became timeless anthems of friendship and youth.

Over the next two decades, he delivered numerous hits, becoming the voice behind some of the most iconic tracks of the 2000s and 2010s.

Whether it was the pain of heartbreak or the euphoria of first love, his voice could evoke the exact sentiment intended by the lyricist and composer.
