Kailash Kher

Left home at 14 looking for a music guru, picked up folk and Sufi influences along the way that never really left his sound. "Teri Deewani" off his band Kailasa's 2006 debut is the song most people know him for, and he picked up a Padma Shri in 2017 for the body of work around it. Rougher, more devotional than most Bollywood playback — that's the appeal.
