Coming out of the narrow streets of a small town and leaving an indelible mark on the glamorous world of Mumbai is not an easy task. Every day, thousands of youth enter this city of dreams with skills and hopes in their eyes, but the crown of success adorns the head of only those who never give up in the face of continuous failures and bitter rejections. Today, one such name has emerged with great strength in the Indian music world, which has ruled millions of hearts with its soulful voice and deep understanding of music. We are talking about the well-known playback singer and musician Vishal Mishra, who hails from Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, who is today being compared with music legend Arijit Singh and whose traditional song sung by Mahaparva Chhath is breaking all the records of views on social media and YouTube these days.
Vishal Mishra is in the news these days for the traditional song of Chhath Puja included in the upcoming Bollywood film ‘The One’. In this film starring Tamanna Bhatia and Siddharth Malhotra, Vishal Mishra has sung the song ‘Chhathi Maiya’ based on the great festival of folk faith Chhath in his special Sufiana and emotional voice. The poignant lyrics of this song have been written by well-known lyricist Kushal Kishore, while along with the song, its entire music arrangement and composition has also been composed by Vishal Mishra himself. Since its release on YouTube on September 10, this song has become the first choice of listeners of all ages and till now it has been viewed more than 4 crore 76 lakh times. The wonderful confluence of traditional devotional sentiment and modern instruments has made this song the biggest devotional chartbuster of this year.
For Vishal Mishra, the journey of making a strong identity in Bollywood has been full of thorns. In his initial days, he used to earn his living by doing odd jobs and making scratch recordings in studios. To turn his singing dream into reality, he auditioned for the fourth season of the famous reality show ‘Indian Idol’, but the judges at that time threw him out saying that he was too young for singing and he still needed to learn a lot. Instead of getting discouraged by this failure, Vishal sharpened his musical practice and started practicing classical music rigorously. On the strength of his dedication, he once again tried his luck in Season 6 of ‘Indian Idol’, but fate continued to test him and he had to face rejection from the same stage for the second time in a row.
Despite being rejected from two big reality shows in a row, Vishal Mishra never gave up music. His struggle got the first big break in the year 2016, when he got the opportunity to compose and sing for the bilingual Tamil film ‘Devi’ starring Prabhudeva and Sonu Sood. The immense success of the songs of this film drew the attention of music directors towards his extraordinary talent. After this he never looked back and gave many superhit songs to Bollywood. Songs like ‘Jaane De’ from ‘Qarib Qarib Single’, the iconic song ‘Kaise Hua’ from Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Kabir Singh’, the blockbuster track ‘Pehle Bhi Main’ from the film ‘Animal’, ‘Jaan Ban Gaye’ from the film ‘Khuda Haafiz 2’ and the patriotic ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’ made him one of the frontline singers of Bollywood. Today, due to his pained and velvety voice, music lovers consider him to be the most sensitive artist of the modern era, which proves that no platform can ignore true talent for long.
