Music Directors Who Sang For Other Music Directors

This post documents the work of music directors who have sung Hindi film songs for other music directors. I’ve limited the scope of this exercise by considering only those music directors who meet the following criteria:

  1. They are relatively well known.
  2. They are known mainly for their work as music directors even though they have sung songs.

As a result, I’m not including artists like Shankar Mahadevan, Hemant Kumar and Vishal Dadlani who are music directors in their own right but have sung extensively for others. The list includes only one song for each MD-singer pair even if they have collaborated on more than one song. I’ve also excluded recreations, If MD1’s song is recreated by MD2 and the recreated song is sung by MD1, it is not counted. The MySwar Advanced Search featured can be used to further explore artist collaborations.
