ITF Singer Shubham Pandey Hardoi

Shubham Pandey is an Indian singer and music educator who rose to national attention through his participation in the reality television show India’s Talent Fight. Hailing from Hardoi, a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Shubham represents the voice and determination of India’s grassroots talent.
Born into a middle-class family, his father is a farmer and his mother a school teacher. He also has a sister. Despite the financial and social limitations around him, Shubham developed a deep passion for music from a young age.
He began singing without any formal training, and his first experience in a local singing competition in Hardoi ended in defeat. However, instead of giving up, this failure inspired him to learn and grow. Initially, his family was skeptical of his musical aspirations, but their attitude changed as Shubham started winning local competitions. His parents eventually gifted him a guitar, which he taught himself to play due to the lack of formal music instruction available in his town.
Over the years, Shubham performed at live shows, devotional events (jagran), orchestras, clubs, and cafés—balancing his artistic journey with a day job to support his family. He faced numerous challenges, including betrayal by friends, but never gave up on his dream. To help others who shared similar struggles, he founded a music class in Hardoi where he not only teaches singing but also performance techniques and instrument training.
Currently, Shubham works as a music teacher in a private school. For him, music has transformed from a hobby into a way of life. Although he auditioned for various platforms and was selected several times, a lack of connections and support often held him back from progressing further.
That changed with India’s Talent Fight. Learning about the show became a turning point in his life. His selection brought immense joy to his family and true friends who had always stood by him. Despite ongoing negativity from some around him, Shubham has proven that courage and passion can overcome any obstacle.
To Shubham, music is not just sound—it is emotion, purpose, and a way to inspire. His journey on India’s Talent Fight marks the first step in turning his lifelong dream into reality
