Neeraj Shridhar is a professional singer based out of the finance capital of India, Mumbai. The singer-songwriter was the lead vocalist of Indian pop and rock group, Bombay Vikings. He is a popular Bollywood music director, playback singer, and lyricist. Bombay Vikings became popular with remix hits like Woh Chali, Kya Soorat Hai, and Chod Do Anchal.
The group caused a sensation in India as well as abroad among the Indian music community due to its unique combination of classical Bollywood style. It has been one of the most notable musical groups in India to rise in the past decade. It is the first group to perform songs in Hinglish, ie, a mix of Hindi and English.
The band mainly performed English songs with Neeraj adding a strong Indian influence.
This idea of combining the two languages to produce a beautiful and melodious song first came to Neeraj Shridhar. Shridhar is now a playback singer for many Bollywood films and has delivered many hits in recent years.
After some years, most of the band members separated, but Neeraj chose to keep the name of the band for forming another band with the remaining members, but this time, he was ready to perform in India.
He started working as a Bollywood playback singer in 2006 with the song, Tumko Dekha, for the film, God Tussi Great Ho, starring Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra.
In 2006, his songs ‘Halke Halke’ (from Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd) and ‘Bhagam Bhaag’ (from Bhagam Bhaag) were huge hits, which opened all the doors for him to be victorious in Bollywood as well. The video of the song ‘Bhagam Bhaag’ was the most expensive Bollywood video produced.
