Mohammad Faiz: Rajasthan’s Biggest Global Music Star

From winning hearts on Superstar Singer 2 to becoming the most streamed Rajasthani artist ever, Mohammad Faiz has built a global musical identity that extends far beyond the numbers.
There are artists who need an introduction, and then there are artists whose numbers, music and cultural impact speak for themselves. Mohammad Faiz increasingly belongs to the latter category.
The singer, who first captured nationwide attention after winning Superstar Singer 2, has gone on to establish himself as a recording artist with a distinct musical identity and an increasingly global audience. Today, Faiz stands as the biggest Rajasthani artist on the planet ever and the most streamed artist to emerge from Rajasthan, with billions of streams across platforms.
His journey since Superstar Singer 2 has seen him move beyond the reality show stage into a career spanning contemporary pop, romantic music, R&B, regional sounds and collaborations across musical styles. His growing catalogue includes popular tracks such as “Dekhha Tenu,” “Kabhi Shaam Dhale,” “Tu Hi Tu,” “Matt Jaao,” “Teri Galiyon Mein” and “Eyes,” among others.
Several of his songs have developed lives of their own across streaming platforms and social media. Tracks such as “Dekhha Tenu” and “Kabhi Shaam Dhale” have reached audiences across India and beyond, helping establish Faiz as one of the most recognisable voices of his generation. His strong visual identity has also become part of his appeal, with fans frequently describing him as one of the most handsome and stylish singers in India and celebrating his fashion, personality and onstage presence.
His connection with Rajasthan and its musical heritage has remained central to his artistic identity. Rather than treating his regional roots as a separate part of his career, Faiz has increasingly incorporated Rajasthani influences into his contemporary sound, helping bring the language and musical culture of Rajasthan to a wider digital audience.
In 2026, Faiz further strengthened this connection through his work with Coke Studio Bharat, contributing as a co composer and co lyricist on a track that also featured acclaimed Rajasthani folk artist Mame Khan and composer musician Vaibhav Pani. The collaboration brought together contemporary pop and Rajasthan’s traditional musical identity, with Faiz contributing to the song’s composition and lyrics.
One of his other releases, “Eyes,” reflects this direction particularly well. The track combines contemporary R&B and trap influences with Rajasthani musical roots, with Faiz credited as the vocalist, composer, lyricist and video writer. Featuring Akanksha Choudhary and produced by Hiten, the song further demonstrated Faiz’s expanding role as a creator rather than simply a performer.
His influence has also extended beyond recorded music. Faiz has performed for audiences across India and internationally, taking his music to destinations including Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Maldives, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago and other international markets.
As I Popstar Volume 2 brings together a new generation of music talent and places renewed attention on performance, originality and audience connection, Faiz’s presence has also sparked a strong reaction among viewers and fans. Many fans have called him “the judge this show deserves,” with some expressing that they would like to see Faiz join the panel in the future, particularly given his journey from a reality show winner to an established recording artist, composer, lyricist and performer. The second season of the franchise launched in September 2026, with Neha Kakkar, Aditya Rikhari and KING serving as mentors.
When Faiz won Superstar Singer 2 at just 14, it marked the beginning of his public journey. What followed has been a transformation from reality show winner to recording artist, composer, lyricist and performer with a distinct connection to his roots.
Today, Mohammad Faiz represents Rajasthan on a global musical stage. With billions of streams, an international audience, major songs and a catalogue that continues to expand, his story is no longer simply about a singer who emerged from a television competition.
It is the story of an artist who has taken Rajasthani music and identity to a global audience, becoming the biggest Rajasthani artist on the planet and the most streamed Rajasthani artist ever.
The numbers tell the scale. The music tells the story. And the journey of Mohammad Faiz is now firmly bigger than where it began.
