Singer Surabhi Singh has sung more than 1,000 songs so far, performed in over 50 music video songs, and done countless live shows in India and abroad. Her live shows are especially popular in Africa, Dubai, Cambodia, and across India.
Surabhi made her Bollywood singing debut with Bappi Lahiri’s film Rashtraputra. Recently, her songs were featured in Bhuj –The Pride of India and the web series Odd Couple. In the near future, she will be singing in an upcoming Yash Raj Films production, along with several more songs that are set to release.
She was once an excellent badminton player but chose singing as her career. She has been honored with the title “Banaras Kokila”. Surabhi also won the reality show Folk Jalwa on ETV Uttar Pradesh. She has sung in several languages, including Hindi, Marathi, and Punjabi, and plans to continue singing in diverse languages.
Surabhi shared how she reached this milestone in her musical journey. A native of Varanasi, she completed her early education there. She had a passion for singing since childhood. Listening to legendary singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, and Anup Jalota, she would naturally start singing along. She actively participated in school programs, where her talent was highly appreciated—turning her passion into dedication.
At a young age, she got an opportunity to sing for a children’s program on Doordarshan. Later, she sang for All India Radio (Akashvani) after clearing its audition test. She trained in classical music and earned a degree in music from Mahatma Gandhi Vidyapeeth University, Prayagraj.
In 2005, she got her first big break in Mumbai when she performed with Udit Narayan. Since then, she has been based in Mumbai, focusing entirely on her singing career.
She believes that parents should certainly guide their children in career matters, but they must never force them into choices. Instead, children should be encouraged to pursue careers aligned with their own skills and dreams. According to her, when passion drives a choice, work is done with devotion and joy. But if a career is imposed, children feel trapped—making it difficult for them to succeed and live happily.
