Shahnawaj Khan has been struggling in singing since the age of 12. His father Mr. Nisar Mohammad said that since childhood he was very keen to learn singing and playing musical instruments. He is a great Piano player and was mentored by his father. He moved to Muskut in 2002 and started performing in 5 star hotels, he stayed there for almost 8 years and that helped him to unearth his extraordinary ability to sing that led to wide spread acknowledgement. He is the only financial support for his family and comes form a relatively poor household. He came back to India in 2010 for his marriage and is now settled in Udaipur where he owns a orchestra group named ‘blue star orchestra‘ at Premidwara Marg, Amal ka Kanta, Inside Surajpole.
He has numerous awards to his name and has even been the winner of “The Voice of Rajasthan”. His dream of meeting the singing sensation Sonu Nigam came true in X Factor where he is a member of the Deewana Group that made its way into the competition by their outstanding performance on “Piya Haji Ali ” at indore auditions and has since cruised through the boot camp in Mumbai and Goa, the group holds its position among the top 12 contestants and is widely applauded for its breathtaking stage performances.

June 12, 2011 at 11:48 pmi still remember very well about 8 years back when i was kid , this man shahnawaz along with his orchestra came to perform in our town, he sung so well the song of border movie “sandeshe aate hai”n many other. that time i wonder why he is not among the top singers like sonu , udit n all, i thought it was the matter of fate, but no i was wrong the hard work pays at the end , and now he is on path of success.

This boy had worked very hard n May ALLAH Bless him what ever he wishes because I have seen him Playing in Orchestra for Receptions, Birth Day Parties and other occasions late nights. He was the only Key Board player who use to sing.
I remember people use to laugh and make fun of him in early days when he tried to copy SONU NIGAM’s Songs. But See the STAR today. …….. welllllllllllllllll lets pray for him.
