Monty Sharma - Judge 1

Monty Sharma

Date of Birth - 17th April

Star Sign - Aries

First Big Hit - Saawariya

Music runs in his genes, Monty Sharma is the grandson of the legendary Pandit Ram Prasad Sharma & the nephew of the music maestro Pyarelal ( of Laxmikant-Pyarelal fame). He started learning music at the tender age of five from his grandfather who not only trained him in Western & Indian Classical music, but also taught him the fine art of fusing the two together.

Monty didn't have it all on a golden platter, he has had his own share of hardships too. Before coming to the foreground with 'Saawariya' , he worked as a keyboard player in Shekar Kapoor's 'Mr. India' & also for Ismail Darbar. He arranged the title track of Nimbooda in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' on a special request.

After that, he moved on to do the background scores for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' & 'Black'. Only after this stage did he hit the jackpot & compose for "Saawariya", which won him the Filmfare R. D. Burman Award for New Music Talent in 2007.
