His self-pride too very often acted as a hindrance to his progress. Though SonuвЂ™s father was talented, however he never had the will and the drive to make it big in the world music. Rafi song вЂKya Hua Tera VaadaвЂ™ from Hum Kisise Kum Nahin.His fatherвЂ™s lack of ambition was what drove Sonu to tread on the path of success. Only 3 years old, while accompanying his father for a show, Sonu gave his first public performance in the town of Jind by singing the popular Mohd. After bagging every possible singing competition at the junior level, there came a point when Sonu was not permitted to compete in not only his own category, but the senior categories as well! The organizers then had to resort to calling him as chief guest! He moved to Mumbai at the age of 18 but stopped giving stage performances here, as his father felt this would affect his future career.

He began competing in music competitions. Young Sonu debuted on stage at the age of three, with a rousing rendition of вЂKya Hua Tera VadaвЂ™ and began accompanying his fatherвЂ™s troupe at wedding parties and festivals. SonuвЂ™s father is Agam Kumar, a very popular stage singer in the provincial circuit. Along with his father he also started singing in birthdays and marriage ceremonies in Delhi. Many people do not know this but Sonu Nigam acted as a child artiste in films like Kaamchor, Ustadi Ustad Se, Hum Se Hai Zamana, Taqdeer and Betaab. To support himself he started taking on bit roles in movies. Life was not smooth for the aspiring singer.
