Aditya Rikhari Biography
Aditya Rikhari is an Indian singer, songwriter, composer and music producer from New Delhi who rose to prominence with independent releases and later found
Early life and backgroundAditya Rikhari was born on 30 July 2000 in New Delhi, India. Raised in the city he still calls home, he developed an interest in music early in life and began exploring singing, writing and composing while still in school and college. From a young age he moved beyond performing to creating his own material, building the skills that would shape his independent music career.
Career
Rikhari began sharing his self-made music online during his college years, and his professional journey is generally traced to 2020 with the release of the song "Tu Kahan." Prior to that he released independent tracks such as "Kya Karein," which gained traction after a lyric video upload and crossed the 100,000-streams milestone. He continued releasing a steady stream of singles including "Tu Rehti Hai," "Dil Hai Na," "Pal Bhar" and "Tu Kahan."
The viral use of his music by online creators pushed his songs to wider audiences. One example was the comedy channel Hasley India using "Tu Rehti Hai" in a popular clip, which helped increase his visibility. Management by the talent agency CollabX followed as his profile grew.
In 2022 Rikhari released "Samjho Na," a song that caught on across social media and reached listeners beyond India, reportedly finding popularity in countries such as Pakistan and the UAE. His breakthrough on the mainstream music scene arrived in December 2023 when T-Series released his song "Sahiba." Rikhari wrote, composed, produced and performed the track; its music video featured Ankita Chhetri and struck a chord with younger listeners.
The year 2023 also saw additional singles from Rikhari, including "Do Jahaan," "Raaton" and "Bin Tere." In 2024 he wrote the lyrics for "Paaro" after being inspired by Anurag Kashyap's film Dev.D; that song later became part of his first studio album Jaana. In December 2024 Universal Music India released Jaana, an eight-song collection that compiled new material and showcased his songwriting and production abilities.
Rikhari's work expanded into film music as well. A new version of his song "Samjho Na" titled "Jaana Samjho Na" was produced for the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3; Rikhari and Tulsi Kumar recorded the vocals for that version, and he received songwriting and composition credits along with collaborators. He composed songs used in several films between 2025 and 2026, including "Sunn Mere Yaar Ve" for Param Sundari (2025), "Raat Bhar" for De De Pyaar De 2 (2025), "Dil Waale Chor" for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do (2026), and "Tu Jahaan" for Dacoit (2026).
Throughout his career Rikhari has collaborated with established singers such as Tulsi Kumar, Rochak Kohli, Shirley Setia, Gajendra Verma and Shreya Ghoshal. In January 2026 he performed his first stadium-scale show at the NSCI Dome in Mumbai, and later that year he participated in Coke Studio India.
Public profile
Rikhari's public profile was strengthened by a multi-year partnership announced in August 2025 with T-Series covering films, non-film music, albums and EPs. In 2026 he appeared as a judge on the reality singing show I-POPSTAR Vol. 2, which streamed on Alright! TV and Netflix. Media coverage in 2026 also noted that his song "Sahiba" held the No. 1 spot for 17 weeks on Spotify India's Top Songs chart, establishing a record run for a non-soundtrack single at that time.
Rikhari has described his approach to songwriting as deliberately simple and relatable; he said he focuses on accessible lyrics and melodies rather than complicated language. In lighter interviews he has jokingly replied that when asked about favourite things he names the actor Shah Rukh Khan as his single favourite.

In the period covered by the available information, Rikhari continued to release music, work on film projects and expand his live performance footprint. His early independent releases evolved into mainstream collaborations and placements in films, and he remained active as a singer, songwriter, composer and producer through 2026.
