Kailash Kher's spectacular journey from a humble upbringing to revered pop star, Bollywood playback singer and television celebrity is nothing less than remarkable. It is also a testament to the strength and appeal of what is undeniably one of the most unique voices in Indian music today.

The raw, earthy and soulful strength of his voice - often compared to the late qawwali maestro Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - caught the attention of every production house and film composer in Mumbai. His big break came with the song "Allah Ke Bande" from the movie Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II. The song became more famous then the film itself and its success made him a household name.

Though the Bollywood playback world has proven rewarding, Kher finds more personal satisfaction in the music he writes and records with Naresh and Paresh Kamath, brothers and prominent members of his band Kailasa. Kailash Kher & Kailasa released their first album, Kailasa, in 2006, which resulted in the smash hits "Teri Deewani" and "Tauba Tauba". This was followed by Jhoomo Re and Chaandan Mein, which were both also critical and commercial successes. Their latest album Rangeele was released in January 2012 to rave reviews and features a contribution by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan.

The time has come for the U.K. to discover a voice that millions of Indians already consider one of the greatest in music today.

"The moment I heard him, I knew that here was a voice that was so wonderful, and which had its own unique space... I want to say that Kailash Kher's voice has something that had been lacking a lot - it had pure soul! Allah Ke Bandey is one of my all time favorite songs." - Grammy and Academy Award Winning Composer A.R.Rahman
