Sonu Nigam reveals childhood temper fueled his singing career
Sonu Nigam: As a child, I used to have a very bad temper · thehansindia.com

Sonu Nigam is a famous singer from India who sings songs for movies.

He recently talked about his life on a special music show.

He said that when he was a little boy, he had a very bad temper.

Instead of letting his anger hurt him, he learned to use it to sing with lots of fire and energy.

One day, he sang for three hours in the afternoon and then another three hours in the evening at the famous Sydney Opera House.

He could do that because there was a lot of fire inside him.

His father taught him an important lesson: you can have fun now and struggle later, or struggle now and have a good life later.

Sonu chose to work hard, so he moved to Bombay when he was 18 instead of going to college.

By the age of 21, he was already on the singing show 'Sa Re Ga Ma'.

Today, he says he is living a comfortable life because he worked hard when he was young.

I did that at the Sydney Opera House- one three-hour afternoon show and another three-hour evening show on the very same day. I was able to do that because there's a lot of fire inside me. And within that fire, there's anger"”
