This may come as a shocker, but there was a time in Arijit Singh’s life when people hated his voice. The singer revealed that his original voice is very different from his current voice. He shared that he tortured and broke his vocal chords in a way to sculpt it to people’s liking, as people hated his original voice. In Arijit’s words:
“Meine toh apne voce ko toda hai, mera voice thodi aisa tha pehle. Mera voice alag e tha. Who voice back karne ke liye mujhe 2-3 mahina saab chor dena parega, but people hated that voice. Meine jab usss voice mei ganna shuru kia tha, people didn’t like that voice at all. So, I had to change my voice. to kind of cut through. Gaale ko tod tod ke textures banaya hai meine. It’s almost like sculpting your voice. Bohot torture kia ha apne aap ko ek tarike se taaki voice ka projection alag ho jaye, bascally voice ka muscle banne jaisa.”

Arijit Singh shared that in this world of AI, it is very easy to copy voices and identities, as AI has access to every individual, so it is very important for a singer to patent his voice. He added that more than the voice, it’s his singing that he wants to license, and he, along with his team, is preparing to patent his voice. He also added that he would love to license his voice if others use it, as it’s all about the singing.
Arijit Singh shared that after his song, Channa Mereya became a hit, many other music composers and directors came to him to sing something like Channa Mereya yet again.

Now, if you try to make something like it, something else will be produced because this is how things work.
