Who is Pawandeep Rajan?
Pawandeep Rajan, the winner of Indian Idol Season 12, rose to fame with his soulful voice, musical versatility, and humble persona. He triumphed over five finalists—Arunita Kanjilal, Mohd Danish, Sayli Kamble, Nihal Tauro, and Shanmukha Priya—securing the coveted winner’s trophy, a brand-new car, and a cash prize of Rs 25 lakh.
However, Pawandeep’s journey to success started long before Indian Idol. Hailing from the Champawat district in Uttarakhand, he was born into a musically talented family. His mother, Saroj Rajan, father, Suresh Rajan, and sister, Jyotideep Rajan, are all accomplished Kumaoni folk musicians. Pawandeep displayed his exceptional musical talent from an early age, winning the Youngest Tabla Player Award at just 2 years old. His breakthrough came in 2015 when he won The Voice India, mentored by singer Shaan. That victory earned him a Rs 50 lakh cash prize and a car, marking him as one of India’s top young musical talents.
