Abhay Jodhpurkar (Singer) Biography

Indian playback singer known for Moongil Thottam and Mere Naam Tu, praised for multilingual film work and awards.

Early life and background
Abhay Manoj Jodhpurkar was born on 31 July 1991 in Sendhwa, Madhya Pradesh, into a Marathi family with a musical lineage; his paternal grandfather was a Hindustani classical singer. Music entered his life very early — he began performing in competitions at about five years old and won multiple national-level contests during his childhood.

Jodhpurkar completed engineering studies, earning a B.Tech in Biotechnology, while pursuing formal musical training. During his time at SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai he joined A. R. Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory as a part-time student, balancing academics with vocal training and ensemble work.

Career
While studying at the conservatory, Abhay sang with a Qawwali group where his voice drew the attention of A. R. Rahman. Rahman tested him and gave him an early break: the duet “Moongil Thottam,” recorded with Harini for the Tamil film Kadal (2013). That recording introduced his voice to a wider audience and marked the start of his professional playback career.

Jodhpurkar’s playback work spans multiple Indian film industries. His recorded debuts include a Kannada film credit in Godfather (2012), an early Tamil project Konjam Koffee Konjam Kaadhal (2012), and a Telugu credit associated with Kadal (2013). He has since sung in Marathi, Malayalam and Hindi productions, with a noted Bollywood appearance coming in 2018: the song “Mere Naam Tu” from the Shah Rukh Khan film Zero.

Beyond playback assignments, Abhay leads a band called Sanskruti, which fuses EDM, dance-rock, electro-pop and progressive rock elements. The band reflects his interest in blending contemporary electronic textures with rock and melodic songcraft.

He won the Studio One Star Icon ‘Voice of the Year’ award in 2017 for his song in Vanamagan, and his performance on “Mere Naam Tu” earned a nomination for Upcoming Male Vocalist of the Year at the 11th Mirchi Music Awards. Subsequent honors include Mirchi Music Awards Marathi recognition in 2022 and, notably, the Best Male Playback Singer (Marathi) award at the 72nd National Film Awards in 2026 for a song from Gharat Ganpati.

Rahman, and he has spoken about early inspiration from the song “Mitwa.” Outside music, his interests include travelling, swimming, watching films, reading and dancing.
