Shaan, his real name is Shantanu Mukherjee and he has a prolonged list of hit numbers associated to his name. Shaan belongs to a famous Bollywood family. Music seems to be in his blood. His father Manas Mukherjee was a successful music director and his grandfather Jahar Mukherjee was an eminent lyricist. Shaan is married to Radhika and has two sons Soham and Shubh.

He is the real name of Indipop genre. Starting his career with ad jingles, Shaan proceeded with remixes and cover versions. His first breakthrough came from 'Naujwan' which was his first album in collaboration with sister Sagarika. From that point, there was no looking back in Shaan's career and he went on to sky heights with his melodies.

From Indi-pop to playback singing Shaan has evolved a great way, with several hits to his credit. In the 1989 movie Parinda, when he was only 17 years of age, Shaan sang a single line in the song, "Kitni Hai Pyari Pyari Dosti Hamari".

His blockbuster like "Nikamma" and on the other hand soulful rag-darbari based "Paigham Laya Saawan" show the extremities of his vocal chords.
