INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pawandeep Rajan’s journey in music began long before he captured the spotlight as a celebrated singer. Born into a musical family in Uttarakhand, India, Pawandeep was influenced by his father, Suresh Rajan, a singer who performed at local events and public functions. This nurturing environment fostered Pawandeep’s passion for music from an early age, setting the stage for his future endeavors. During his college years, he actively engaged in youth festivals, where he not only showcased his vocal talent but also played various musical instruments. It was during this vibrant period of his life that he learned about auditions for the popular singing reality show, The Voice India 2015, prompting him to seize the opportunity and showcase his abilities.
Pawandeep’s participation in The Voice India 2015 proved to be a transformative experience, as he emerged victorious, capturing the hearts of both the audience and the judges. His win was not just about the accolades but also came with substantial rewards, including a cash prize of Rs. 50 lakhs, an Alto K10 car, and a contract with Universal Music Group, which allowed him to release his debut track, ‘Yakeen,’ in the same year. This victory not only solidified his status as a rising star but also led to his appointment as the Youth Brand Ambassador of Uttarakhand, further amplifying his influence in the region.
The subsequent years saw Pawandeep’s musical journey gaining momentum. In 2016, he collaborated with the talented Aaron Haroon Rashid, contributing to two songs in the album ‘Chholiyar.’ His versatility as an artist became increasingly evident, with his ability to master various musical instruments including the keyboard, drums, tabla, and guitar. His remarkable performance in Indian Idol 12, where he skillfully played the dholak, received acclaim from both judges and audiences alike, demonstrating his multifaceted musical prowess.
The culmination of his journey in Indian Idol 12 took place on the night of August 15, 2021, when Pawandeep was declared the winner. The competition was fierce, with him standing alongside five other talented finalists, including Arunita Kanjilal and Sayli Kamble, who were honored as runners-up. Winning the coveted trophy came with a reward of INR 25 lakh and another car, but Pawandeep’s reaction was a testament to his humility. He expressed that while he was grateful for the victory, he felt all the contestants were deserving of the title, emphasizing the camaraderie they had formed throughout the competition. His heartfelt statement, reflecting a sense of unity and friendship, highlighted that despite the outcome, their bonds would endure beyond the show, and they all planned to support each other in their future musical endeavors.
