The living legend himself, Shankar Mahadevan. As Himesh puts it, "Hindustan ki Naak". He is not only one of the finest music composers, but also one of the finest singers in bollywood. Him and his partners, Esaan and Loy are great at music directing and have had countless amount of hits. Some of the best music over the past decade has come from them. Including, Kal Ho na Ho, Dil Chata Hai, Bunty aur Babli, and the list is just too long to name. So many great hits. No doubt one of the finest music directors here. They have 1 National Music Direction Award, and 2 Filmfare Music Direction Awards. So they are well recognized and respected by everyone.
Not only is he a great music composer, but also one of the finest and most talented singers. He is extremely versatile and is able to sing emotional songs, to classical, to rock. Just amazing. Excellent voice quality, and lots of singing ability. He's won 2 national playback singing awards over the past decade. The only other male singer who did that last decade would be Udit Naryan. Just an amazing talent overall.
And then he also is a great human being. Always is smiling, and always is positive.
