Harshit Saxena

Harshit Saxena, born in Lucknow is a 24-year-old singing sensation. Harshit is one of the many contestants who participated in Voice of India Harshit left his Physiotherapy semester exams for the Voice of India (VOI) auditions.

His passion for singing began showing in his early school days when he was in class 8th. He was and is a die-hard fan of Kishore Da. Most beginners choose to perform popular numbers; he was busy grooming his voice so that he could at least match the melody and depth of kishore da. He used to record his songs on kishore da's karaoke tracks at the tender age of 14.

His mother and uncle acted as his source of inspiration. Seeing his passion for singing his father bought him a home theatre recording system and after that, he had his own different world in his small room where he would practice for hours and hours. Harshit started grooming his skill with Shri Gulshan Bharti ji as his 'Guru'.

Harshit has a distinctive style of singing that is completely unique and resembles with no one. He has sought much appreciation from the judging panel for his playback style of voice, something the industry has been missing. His vocal style is baritone; soft during romantic songs, but upbeat and powerful during pop songs.

He is a humble and simple man who does not take his opportunity for granted. Being a part of Voice of India is a dream come true for him, he has been able to reach new heights. He says he got a lot of exposure during VOI. His current project with Mr. Bhatt, a proclaimed filmmaker, is playback for up coming movies.

All the celebrity guests that came on the show praised him a lot. Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy promised to sing with him. He is surely singing with Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt . The best compliment he got until date was from Lata Mageshkar when all VOI participants reached to wish her birthday. Lata Ji said that "Harshit you are the VOI and you deserve to be the VOI" On being asked how do you feel as a heartthrob he replies with a shy and sweet smile "Its a headache wherever I go, girls catch me yet I am enjoying it and I love it".
