He also made his debut in the Tamil film industry in 2015 with the 'Neeye Vaazhkai Enbena' song from 'Pugazh'. Exploring the vocals and music style further, Singh released his first-ever single 'Rihaa' under his banner Oriyon Music in Hindi and Bengali in October 2020. He is a proud recipient of four Mirchi Music Awards, six Filmfare Awards, three IIFA Awards, two Screen Awards, two Zee Cine Awards, and a Stardust Award.
