Currently she is one of the top playback singers in Bollywood - having sung for top actresses such as: Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor, Kajol, Urmila Matondkar, Rani Mukherji, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Asin, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt.
She started her singing career at a very early age of four. She participated in many competitions and made her presence felt. Her family soon shifted to Mumbai when Tabassum, a TV host spotted her talent and expressed to her parents that she could further her career if they went to Mumbai. She became quite famous through the various competitions she participated in. Her performances were telecast all over India through the National Television channel Doordarshan, through the music show Meri Aawaz Suno where she won the "Lata Mangeshkar Trophy" for the best female singer of India along with Pradip Somasundaran in the male category. This was the first such televised contest in India in 1996. Her first break in a Hindi film was in the film Shastra followed by Gang, Veergati, Dahek, Bade Dilwala, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Shyam Benegal's Samar and the Vidhu Vinod Chopra film Mission Kashmir. She had no formal training before she entered into various national singing competitions. Lata Mangeshkar offered to train her when she won on the nationally-telecast "Meri Aawaz Suno"
Her singing career got a big boost when Sandeep Chowta gave her the first major break in Mast. After Mast there was no turning back. Sunidhi Chauhan had been getting lots of criticism for an extremely mature voice despite being young. However this criticism ended once Chameli came with her biggest song to date "Bhaage Re Mann" and today she and Nihira Joshi are known as the most versatile singers since Kavita Krishnamurthy and Asha Bhosle.

ऐसा ये मुझको कवच दिया रे
इस राह पे कण कण कण कण
कण गयी मैं
कंधे पे जोग का धनुष उठा के
सीधी तन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
तन मन धन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
अब मन ये हुआ है धूनी
और आँगन है रण भूमि
अब काल भी आँख में
आँख ना डाले
ऐसी ठन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
हो योद्धा बन गयी मैं

बन गयी बन गयी बन गयी
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
के कई जोगी सब माया है
झूठी वैरी ये काया है
जो मान रहे तो प्राण रहे
सूरज है तो ही छाया है
अब आंधी हो या बवंडर
करना है पार समंदर
हाँ शंख की नाद पे
रास रचा के
ऐसी सन्न गयी मैं
योद्धा बन गयी मैं

तेरे प्रेम की बरखा ने सुन पिया रे
Your love's downpour, my dear, I've heard
ऐसा ये मुझको कवच दिया रे
It has given me such a shield
इस राह पे कण कण कण कण
On this path, every speck
कण गयी मैं
I got lost
कंधे पे जोग का धनुष उठा के
With the bow of devotion on my shoulder
सीधी तन गयी मैं
I stood tall
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
I became a warrior
हर सांस में आग का रंग मिला के
With every breath, I found the color of fire
तन मन धन गयी मैं
I lost myself, body, mind, and wealth
अब मन ये हुआ है धूनी
Now my mind has become a tune
और आँगन है रण भूमि
And the courtyard is a battlefield
अब काल भी आँख में
Now time is in my eyes
आँख ना डाले
It doesn't blink

That many yogis are all illusions
झूठी वैरी ये काया है
False enemies, this body
जो मान रहे तो प्राण रहे
Those who believe, they live
सूरज है तो ही छाया है
If there's a sun, then there's also shade
अब आंधी हो या बवंडर
Now whether it's a storm or a tempest
करना है पार समंदर
We have to cross the ocean
हाँ शंख की नाद पे
Yes, to the sound of the conch
रास रचा के
Dancing in celebration
ऐसी सन्न गयी मैं
I became so ready
योद्धा बन गयी मैं
