Sonu Nigam's 19-year-old son, Nevaan Nigam, made his singing debut with his first single, Slide, released on November 6, 2026.

Being the son of one of India's most loved singers means growing up around music. For Nevaan Nigam, it has been a part of life since he was a little boy. Sonu Nigam's 19-year-old son has now decided to take his first step into the music industry with a song of his own. His debut single, Slide, was released on YouTube on November 6, 2026.

Who Is Nevaan Nigam?

Nevaan is the son of singer Sonu Nigam and Madhurima Nigam. He was born on July 25, 2007, and completed his schooling and education in Dubai. Music has been a part of Nevaan's life since childhood. He often accompanied his father to concerts and even got a chance to sing in front of audiences at a very young age. Sonu revealed that Nevaan recorded Kolaveri Di in a studio when he was just four. At four and a half, he also performed Abhi Mujhme Kahin live on stage.

However, Nevaan did not grow up in the spotlight. He spent his time working on his interests and improving his singing. He has also undergone a major physical transformation over the years.

Nevaan Comes From A Family Of Singers

Music is not just a big part of Sonu's life. Nevaan's grandfather, Agam Kumar Nigam, is also a singer. He is known for performing classic songs originally sung by Mohammad Rafi and Mukesh, among others. He has also organised several stage shows during his career.

Sonu Nigam Shares A Heartfelt Note For Son Nevaan

Sonu recently shared a picture of Nevaan on Instagram to announce his singing debut. The singer spoke about how much his son has changed over the years and how hard he has worked to get here.

In his post, Sonu wrote, "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. 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)! 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.."

Sonu also revealed that Nevaan takes his training seriously. He spends around 16 hours a day practising vocal exercises with his coach. He has also been working on his dancing and recorded music with American record producer Poo Bear.

Sonu Nigam Once Said He Did Not Want His Son To Become A Singer In India

Interestingly, Sonu had a different view about his son's career plans in 2020. In an interview with Times Now, the singer said he did not want Nevaan to become a singer in India. At the time, Nevaan was living in Dubai and was also interested in gaming.

Speaking about his son, Sonu said, "Frankly, I don't want him to be a singer, at least not in this country. Anyway, he does not live in India anymore, he lives in Dubai. I have already got him out of India. He is a born singer but he has another interest in life. As of now, he is one of the topmost gamers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He is number 2 in Fortnite. There is a game called Fortnite and he is the top gamers in the Emirates. He is a brilliant child with a lot of qualities and talent. And I don't want to tell him what to do. Let's see what he wants to do himself."

What Is Nevaan Nigam's Debut Short Film Slide About?

Nevaan's debut song, Slide, comes with an interesting time-travel story. According to the film's YouTube description, it follows a scientist who gets stuck in different time periods after losing a special watch. The watch, along with his glove, helps power his time machine. Without it, he has no easy way to get back home.

As he travels through time, he finds himself in different worlds, from the Wild West to the disco era. Along the way, he meets a girl and takes her with him on his adventures, showing her different places and experiences. Slide plays in the background as the scientist sings to her during their journey.

The film's description calls it "an ambitious introductory step that realizes the imagination of the artist." Nevaan came up with the idea for the short film and co-directed it with Alexander Cobian. The music has been composed by The Audibles.
