Mohammed Aziz Biography

Mohammed Aziz was an Indian playback singer known for his work in Bollywood, Bengali and Odia music. Born Syed Mohammed Aziz-un-Nabi, he rose to prominence

Early life and background

Syed Mohammed Aziz-un-Nabi, popularly known as Mohammed Aziz and nicknamed Munna, was born on 2 July 1954 in Guma, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India. He grew up in West Bengal and developed an early passion for singing, taking inspiration from the legendary Mohammed Rafi. Aziz began performing publicly at a young age, singing in venues including a restaurant in Kolkata called Galib.

Career

Aziz launched his professional career in regional cinema and later established himself in the Hindi film industry. His first recorded playback work came in Bengali cinema with the film Jyoti, while his Bollywood debut is listed as Ambar (1984). A significant breakthrough arrived in 1985 when composer Anu Malik gave him the song "Mard Taangewala" for the film Mard; the song’s success helped raise Aziz’s profile and led to wider recognition among music directors and audiences.

Through the late 1980s and into the 1990s Aziz recorded a number of well-known songs that became associated with him, including "My Name Is Lakhan" from Ram Lakhan (1989), "Aap Ke Aa Jane Se" from Khudgarz (1987), and "Mera Karma Tu" from Karma (1986). He worked with prominent composers of the era such as Laxmikant–Pyarelal, Naushad, R. D. Burman, Bappi Lahiri, Rajesh Roshan and others. Pyarelal in particular is noted as a composer who recognized Aziz’s talent and collaborated with him on multiple projects.

Aziz’s output was not limited to Hindi films. He sang extensively for the Odia film industry, performed numerous Odia bhajans and private albums, and remained active on stage for decades, giving shows in India and abroad. He was known for a strong vocal range and for being able to hit high notes, a quality that at times drew comparisons with Mohammed Rafi. Over the course of his career he recorded a very large number of songs across languages and genres, including film tracks, devotional bhajans and Sufi numbers.

Recognition and achievements

Aziz received several honours during his career. He was awarded the BFJ Award three times in Kolkata, the Aashirwaad Award twice in Mumbai, and the Mother Teresa International Award. He was also presented with an award for musical excellence by the then President of India, Gyani Zail Singh. He received Filmfare Award nominations twice in the category of Best Male Playback Singer.
