Music director Vishal Bhardwaj gave singer KK his breakthrough opportunity in the mid-1990s. The composer selected the newcomer for a song in Gulzar's film Maachis. KK appreciated Bhardwaj's willingness to work with fresh talent when established music directors typically chose experienced vocalists. This collaboration marked the beginning of KK's successful playback singing career.
The versatile artist built his reputation across multiple Indian languages without formal classical training. KK performed his final concert at Nazrul Mancha auditorium in Kolkata on May 31, 2022. The venue exceeded capacity limits during the college festival event. After completing his performance, the singer collapsed at his hotel and died upon hospital arrival.
