Early life and career

Kamal started learning music at age five from his mother, who became his musical mentor and his ideal. His mother also a music lover. Later he left his studies as he started taking part in singing competitions and musical shows. Until he appeared in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, his father did not want him to become a singer. He mentioned in one of the episodes of the show, wherein his father gave a guest and surprising appearance, that upon his father's advice, he started working in a factory where his daily wage was only Rs. 40 a day. On his pay day, he requested his father to collect his first salary. When his dad went there to get Kamal's first salary, he cried and realised that he should let Kamal pursue his singing. Kamal got his surname 'Khan' from their listeners and friends when he was a contestant of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa because he likes Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's songs and he sings their song like him.[2][3][4]
