Born July 7, 1973 in Merut on the outskirts of Delhi, India to a family with Kashmiri roots, Kher moved to New Delhi as a young child. Kher’s father, a Hindu priest, was an amateur musician whose performances of traditional folk songs were a regular household event. Even as a four year old, Kher revealed a natural musical talent and he would often impress friends and family by belting out songs with his prematurely powerful voice. At the age of 14, Kher left home in search of a guru to further his musical training, and he embarked on years of classical and folk music study.
At first, his parents discouraged his dedication to music, and in deference to their wishes Kher tried his hand at the import/export business. Clearly, his passions lay elsewhere, as this endeavor proved a dismal failure. In 2001, Kher left New Delhi for Mumbai, the epicenter of India’s highly competitive music industry, to seek his fortunes as a professional singer. For a while, Kher struggled, living in cheap residence hotels and eking out whatever musical work he could find to make ends meet. Kher’s first recording was on an advertising jingle for a diamond company, for which he was paid the equivalent of $100.
Soon after recording a handful of jingles, 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. By 2004, Kher had been catapulted into the national spotlight, and has since performed on over one hundred and fifty Hindi film soundtracks, has sung in over fourteen languages on a number of regional Indian films, not to mention recording more than four hundred radio and television advertising jingles.
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. Fixtures on the Indian rock and pop scene, Naresh and Paresh were veterans of the popular band Bombay Black.
Combining Kher’s strong traditional folk sensibilities and lyrics invoking Sufi mysticism, with Naresh and Paresh’s more modern rock, electronic and funk influences, Kailash Kher & Kailasa released their first album, Kailasa, in 2006, which resulted in the smash hits “Teri Deewani” and “Tauba Tauba.” This was followed in 2007 by their second album Jhoomo Re, which was also a critical and commercial success.
In 2008, Kher was invited to become a judge on the television series Indian Idol, the local version of the successful singing competition. With his bubbly spirit and an infectious, expansive personality, Kher endeared himself to the Indian mainstream. It is impossible for Kher to walk the streets anywhere in India without his being besieged by adoring autograph seekers, and he has earned even further admiration for the openness with which he treats his fans.
In 2007, Kher participated in a concert tour in the US, Canada and the Caribbean entitled The Incredibles, a massive stage extravaganza that also starred fellow Bollywood singers Asha Bhosle, Sonu Nigam and Kunal Ganjawala. While the show allowed Kher to perform in front of huge audiences at major amphitheaters, it was his appearance with Kailasa at the January 2008 edition of GlobalFest at New York’s Webster Hall where Kher’s true artistry was on display. The group’s performance that evening electrified the audience, and proved to be the first step in launching Kher’s career as a global world music star.
Never ones to rest on their laurels, 2009 promises to be an entirely new adventure for Kailash Kher & Kailasa with the release of their first international album on the acclaimed independent record label Cumbancha. The album will feature new songs, re-recorded versions of their most appealing tracks and acoustic versions of enduring hits. The time has come for the world to discover a voice that millions of Indians already consider one of the greatest in music today.

के फिर जुड़ ना पाया
लूटा लूटा किसने उसको ऐसे लूटा
के फिर उड़ ना पाया
ओ टूटा टूटा एक परिंदा ऐसे टूटा
के फिर जुड़ ना पाया
लूटा लूटा किसने उसको ऐसे लूटा
के फिर उड़ ना पाया
आकर गिरा ज़मीन पर
ख्वाबों में फिर भी बादल ही थे
वो कहता रहा मगर
के अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे
अल्लाह के बन्दे
अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे
जो भी हो कल फिर आएगा
अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे
अल्लाह के बन्दे
अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे
जो भी हो कल फिर आएगा
खो के अपने पर ही तो उसने था उड़ना सिखा
खो के अपने पर ही तो
खो के अपने पर ही तो उसने था उड़ना सिखा
गम को अपने साथ में ले ले दर्द भी तेरे काम आएगा
अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे
अल्लाह के बन्दे

टूटा टूटा एक परिंदा ऐसे टूटा
A bird broke in such a way that it couldn't be mended
के फिर जुड़ ना पाया
It could not be fixed
लूटा लूटा किसने उसको ऐसे लूटा
Who robbed it in such a way?
के फिर उड़ ना पाया
It couldn't fly again
ओ टूटा टूटा एक परिंदा ऐसे टूटा
Oh, it broke so badly
गिरता हुआ वो आसमां से
Falling from the sky
आकर गिरा ज़मीन पर
Landed on the ground
ख्वाबों में फिर भी बादल ही थे
Clouds were still in dreams
वो कहता रहा मगर
It kept saying

जो भी हो कल फिर आएगा
Whatever happens, tomorrow will come again
खो के अपने पर ही तो उसने था उड़ना सिखा
It learned to fly by losing itself
खो के अपने पर ही तो
By losing oneself
गम को अपने साथ में ले ले दर्द भी तेरे काम आएगा
Take sadness with you, even pain will be useful to you
आ आ आ टुकड़े टुकड़े हो गया था हर सपना जब वो टूटा
Every dream shattered when it was broken into pieces
टुकड़े टुकड़े हो गया था आ आ
Broken into pieces
टुकड़े टुकड़े हो गया था हर सपना जब वो टूटा
Every dream shattered when it was broken into pieces
बिखरे टुकड़ों में अल्लाह की मर्ज़ी का मंज़र पायेगा
In the scattered pieces, you will find Allah's intention
अल्लाह के बन्दे हंस दे (अल्लाह के)

Every step i took forward, Set me way back ! At 40 .. What could be worst than being a toss pot !
It's ok to be broke and trying than being lost and crying 😅
Remember nothing is permanent !
