Himesh Reshammiya son of Veteran Gujarati music director Vipin Reshammiya, was born on 23rd July 1973.

Himeshji studied at Hill Grange School in Peddar Road where he met his best friend Prashant Chadha. Prashant is responsible for Himesh’s new look and for directing all of Himesh’s music videos from his private album “Aap Kaa Surroor” as well as promotional videos for the movies “Aashiq Banaya Aapne”, “Aksar” & “Tom, Dick & Harry”.

At just 16 years old and before Himesh Reshammiya went into music direction, he produced television serials for TV which included serials such as “Andaz” & “Amar Prem”.

The first big break came when Himesh Reshammiya approached Salman Khan (who had just made it big with the hit movie “Maine Pyar Kiya”) who gave Himesh the chance to be a music director for the movie “Bandhan” along with the composer Anand Raj Anand.

Himeshji entered bollywood on 29th June 2007 with the release of his first film ‘Aap Kaa Surroor the moviee: The Real Luv Story’ The film was released on his mother’s (Mrs Madhu Reshammiya) birthday & the film has done tremendous success by breaking all box office records to date.

Himesh Reshammiya was the winning guru for the music reality show Sa Re Ga Ma PA challenge 2007. Wow Himesh Congrats, Aunik has made you feel proud that he is in your garana.

Himesh Reshammiya decided to make music as is his career to fulfill his father’s wishes after his brother’s tragic demise. His first big break came when he approached Salman Khan and got the chance to be a music director for the movie “ Bhandan along with the composer Anand Raj Anand. Despite the criticism for his nasal twang , he is considered to be one of the top music directors in Indian cinema today, along with A.R.Rahman and Anu Malik.With a series of popular film scores , his music is associated with the youthful and trendsetting culture that has recently been pervasive in India , particularly due to the popularity of the remixes of his songs. He entered BOLLYWOOD as an actor , on 29th June 2007 with the release of his first film “AAP KA SUROOR the movie: The Real Luv STORY”. His latest music venture in Tamil for Dasavatharam starring Kamal Hasan was instant hit with all his fans.

Himesh Reshammiya, Bollywood’s hottest composer began his career nearly 10 years ago, with ANDAZ. He was a producer for TV serials and could compose hit title tracks. He has put in nearly 1500 hours for Zee TV alone. Himesh entered films when he composed a chart topping number for the flick PYAAR KKIYA TO DARNA KYA in 1998. Two years later, he got his first solo break with DULHAN HUM LE HAYENGE. In an industry which is severe with music composers, insiders and producers have noticed that Himesh’s numbers strike the right note with the audience through the flicks themselves are total losers.

He smashed all records with his music for TERE NAAM (2003), which has remained a best seller for over a year while the promos of his next project DILNE JISSE APNA KAHAA hit TV screens. A truly unprecedented record for any composer! Both raga based melody and youthful peppy numbers come easily with this hard-working composer. While JULIE has already become a hit and TAARZAN-THE WONDER CAR slated to become another hit, the young composer is confident of becoming numero uno of Bollywood.

The composer opines that his music usually has a strong melodic base, while it is also tailored to a situation. The success of JULIE has also ensured the success of its music. HUMRAAZ, which marked a turning point in his career, had fresh and youthful music, with haunting melodies since the film was a thriller. After the hit of this movie, he has teamed up one again with Abbas-Mastan for TARZAN-THE WONDER CAR. For this flick, he did a lot of sound design and with many instruments. Of course, the composer quickly points out that melody is the backbone of music, not the orchestra or the number of instruments.

He is very happy that his music does well, irrespective of the film’s success at the box office. Himesh tries to compose at least two to three tunes every morning using imaginary situations, since some producers demand good songs in a jiffy. Therefore his music bank contains a few thousand tunes. This has proved to be of great use to him, because only very few filmmakers give a long time for the background score and songs to be finished.

TERE NAAM has been one of the best selling soundtracks in the last seven or eight years. He is grateful to his producers, to director Satish Kaushik and of course, Salman khan for giving him a great deal of freedom while composing the music. Himesh is quick to brush aside accusations that his music has a very strong flavour, reminding one of Nadeem-Shravan’s music. He points out that perhaps their music is subconsciously present in his mind. In the present scenario, a music director is known only by his last film. Therefore, Himesh is very serious about his films. Besides, good music is very successful in fighting piracy. His future projects include DIL NE JISSE APNA KAHAA, Mahesh manjrekar’s LIKFE HO TO AISI; Boney kapoor’s MILENGE MILENGE and an untitled venture with Salman.
