Life
He was born in Nahan in 1966, studied geology, and formed Silk Route in Delhi in the 1990s with Kem Trivedi and others; Boondein (1998) and Pehchan were the band's albums. After Khoon Chala, Pritam's Tum Se Hi (2007) made him a film singer at forty-one; Rahman gave him Masakali, Rockstar (Tum Ho, Sadda Haq, Nadaan Parindey, Jo Bhi Main) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Saans, with Shreya Ghoshal); Vishal Bhardwaj gave him Pehli Baar Mohabbat. He won the Filmfare Award for Masakali and for Jo Bhi Main, and has received Himachal Pradesh's state honours. He lives in Mumbai with his wife, the lyricist Prarthna Gahilote.
The voice
Mohit Chauhan's voice is soft, nasal and unforced, with a folk singer's slide between notes and a Himachali lilt in the vowels; it sounds like a man singing to himself on a hillside, which is why Rockstar's songs of restlessness fit it so well.
