Described by the BBC Asian Network as “one of the most popular and beloved playback singers in India”, the 38-year-old’s music is listened to by nearly 50 million people a month, according to Spotify.
The vocalist, whose music often features in Bollywood films, is performing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday.

When is it?
How to get there
Planned Tube strikes are not set to start until Sunday and so will not affect concertgoers’ journeys.
The nearest station is White Hart Lane (zone 3) on London Overground’s Weaver line, which is a five-minute walk away.
Northumberland Park (10 minutes’ walk) Tottenham Hale (25) and Seven Sisters (30) are other options.
Local buses include the 149, 259, 279 and 349 although these will be diverted to the east of the stadium at Lansdowne Road.
Transport for London (TfL) has warned of “large crowds and increased traffic levels with local road closures in place around the stadium”.
Are tickets available?
There were no standard tickets remaining, as of Thursday afternoon, but some premium seats, starting at £399, are still available along with hospitality packages.
What is the weather forecast?
It is not due to rain, with sunny intervals and light winds forecast.
Temperatures will be about 20C when the doors open, dropping to 16C by the end of the concert.
