	Movies - Himesh Reshammiya

Himesh Reshammiya is an Indian film music composer and singer. Early in his career, he received critical acclaim for his music scores, although the movies associated with them were not popular at the box office. As of early 2006, he has become a popular name in the industry. His first film was Bandhan (1998), in which he collaborated with Anand Raj Anand to produce the musical score. Although it was not the first film to which he contributed music, it was the first one on which he was listed as a contributing music director.

Music Director

Reshammiya was first noticed in Bollywood for his work in the film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kiya (1998). He became good friends with Salman Khan, a famous Bollywood actor who starred in the movie, and composed songs for some subsequent movies in which Salman starred. From this experience, Reshammiya was able to develop his own unique style of composition, based on pop music. He also places a particular emphasis on melodic tunes and on adjusting his music to suit the theme of the movie. With a series of popular film scores, he is considered one of the top music directors in Indian cinema today, along with A.R. Rahman and Anu Malik.

Singer

Reshammiya, like a lot of music directors, sings several of the songs that he composes. However, he has had unprecedented success in this regard. He won a Filmfare Award in 2005 for Best Male Playback Singer (for the title song of Aashiq Banaya Aapne), becoming the first music director to do so.

Reshammiya has also released a solo music album entitled Aap Ka Suroor. He has made it clear, however, that he still plans to put most of his effort in Hindi films.

Recently, music directors have released music videos for songs for movies that have not been screened. Reshammiya has continued this trend with "Zara Jhoom Jhoom," from the yet unreleased movie Tom, Dick, and Harry. A music video for an alternative title song for the film Humko Deewana Kar Gaye is also being screened on various music channels these days. Himesh Reshammiya and Tulsi Kumar are the singers, and the video is filmed on the movie's actors Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar.

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa

Reshammiya, along with fellow music directors Ismail Darbar, Aadesh Srivatsava, and Jatin-Lalit, served as a judge on Zee TV's Indian musical contest show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005. In addition to their function as judge, the music directors also mentored the contestants throughout the contest.

Fashion Style

Reshammiya has a unique fashion sense that makes him a recognizable face within the Indian film industry. He wears a baseball cap and is usually seen wearing a pair of jeans with a conspicuous belt buckle. These days he is also sporting a stuble.
