#Master_Saleem #Bollywood_Singer in conversation with Navneet Anand and Varun Tiwari.

Master Saleem (as Saleem Shahzada), sometimes referred as Saleem Shahzada (Salim Shahzada), is an Indian singer from #Punjab, known for his work as a #devotional singer & playback singer in #Bollywood films, like #Heyy_Babyy (2007), #Dostana and #Love_Aaj_Kal (2009). He has also released private #albums, of #Punjabi_Music, #Religious and #Sufi_music.

Saleem's first album, Charkhe Di Ghook, was released when he was 10 years old. It was released on the label Sur Taal, created by his father's friend, Manjinder Singh Goli, and went on to become a hit. This led to several Punjabi music and religious albums and live shows. His song Dhol Jagiro Da also became a huge hit and giving him wide popularity. In the late 1990s, however as he was growing his voice started changing, which lessened his popularity. He made his comeback in 2000, with the Sufi number Aj Hona Deedar Mahi da, which he sang at a New Year's programme at #Doordarshan channel, and later released albums dedicated to #Goddess #Durga including, Mela Maiya Da (2004), Aj Hai Jagrata, Meri Maiya and Darshan Kar Lao.

Around 2005, singer #Jasbir_Jassi introduced him to music director #Sandeep_Chowta, who subsequently called him to Delhi to record single Sajni in #Sony_Music album #Teri_Sajni.

Eventually #Shankar_Mahadevan, of the music trio #Shankar_Ehsaan_Loy, heard his performances at a jagaran at the Devi Talaab Mandir, Jalandhar, being aired at a religious TV channel, and thus Saleem made his debut as playback singer with single "Mast Kalandar" from the film Heyy Babyy (2007) under their music direction. The song was a hit and launched his Bollywood career. This was followed by most well-known singles including "Tashan Mein" from the film Tashan and Maa Da Ladla from the film Dostana (2008), and Aahun Aahun in Love Aaj Kal (2009). and in 2010 some of his hit songs have been "Humka Peeni Hai" from "Dabangg and "Shakira" in "No Problem and "Chamki Jawani" in #Yamla_Pagla_Deewana. In 2011 one of his first hits was "Rola Pe Gaya" in Patiala House.
