Sadhana Sargam is a classically trained Indian playback singer who has recorded over 15,000 songs in 36 regional languages, ranging from Hindi and Marathi to Tamil and Bengali. She began her musical journey at the age of four under her mother, Neela Ghanekar, and later earned a government scholarship to study for seven years with the legendary Pandit Jasraj. Her career took off in the late 1980s with hits like "Har Kisiko Nahin Milta" and peaked in the 1990s with iconic romantic tracks such as "Pehla Nasha" and "Saat Samundar Paar". She holds the rare record of being the only non-South Indian to win a National Film Award for a South Indian song, "Pattu Solli".
In recent years, Sargam has remained a prolific artist, frequently touring internationally and releasing a steady stream of devotional music. In early 2026, she headlined the "Unforgettable 90s" North American tour alongside Kumar Sanu, performing to sold-out audiences in cities like Austin, New York, and Charlotte. Alongside her live performances, she continues to release numerous singles and albums under the Sadhana Sargam Bhakti Geet label, including recent 2026 releases like "Raghuvar Haule Chalo" and "Guru Vandana". Her enduring legacy is marked by prestigious honors, including the Lata Mangeshkar Award from the Government of Madhya Pradesh and several state-level accolades across India.
