Talking about it, the late singer had told TOI, “From the beginning, I was able to learn a song by just hearing it, it is something that I’ve been blessed with. I later learned that Kishoreda had never learnt music, so I had even more reasons to not go to a music class.”

Before getting his break in Bollywood, the late singer reportedly lent his voice to over 3000 jingles in 11 different languages.

Sourced from a report, KK used to work in the hotel industry before he moved to Mumbai in 1994 to pursue music. The late singer often credited his wife Jyothy for her support to pursue his dreams
