Sonu Nigam to make music debut
Singer Sonu Nigam marked Diwali 2026 by introducing his 19-year-old son Nevaan Nigam to the world through his debut short film, Slide, which also features his music.
Sonu Nigam and his wife, Madhurima Nigam, shared a joint post announcing Nevaan’s physical transformation and musical endeavour over the years.
As a child artiste, Nevaan performed live on stage to one of his father’s soulful hits, Abhi Mujhme Kahin. However, there was a time when Nevaan felt shy about singing in front of his own father.
Sharing a picture of Neevan, Sonu Nigam announced, “On this auspicious and pious occasion of Diwali, Nevaan embarks upon his journey into the world of Music venturing into a path far flung from his Grandfather and Father to explore his own horizons.”

The singer added, “From a chubby little boy to a fit and lean young man, from someone who was extremely shy to sing in front of his own father, to someone who’s practicing the vocal exercises taught to him by his brilliant vocal coach 16 hours a day and cracking one take recordings in the studio with the legend Poo Bear, from someone who had a tough time jogging even for merely 3 minutes, to someone who’s doing hours of dance practise to hone his skills; Nevaan has truly made our family very very thankful and happy, (Proud, is a word I avoid using in life).”
Sonu Nigam continued his post, “From Kolaveri di in studio at age 4 to Abhi mujhme kahin live on stage at age 4 and a half, he’s been fortunate to receive your enormous and unfathomable love. Do bless him that he continues his journey ahead with dignity, hardwork, passion and humility. Give him your love.. Presenting ‘SLIDE’ BY NEVAAN NIGAM.”
Nevaan entered the world of music following the traditions of his grandfather and father, to explore new horizons of his own.
It tells the story of a journey through time, in which a scientist is unexpectedly lost across various eras, from the Wild West to the Disco Era. Cut off from his only means of getting home—a totem watch that, together with his glove, powers his time machine—he finds himself drawn into a series of unforeseen adventures. On his way, he meets a girl and takes her on an extraordinary journey through time, showing her the wonders of the world by singing the song “SLIDE” to her.
The YouTube description of Slide reads, “Nevaan Nigam’s debut song, the short film is an ambitious introductory step that realizes the imagination of the artist.”
Alexander Cobian and Nevaan Nigam have directed it. The concept was developed by Nevaan, while The Audibles composed the music.
