Amrik Singh Arora (born: 1943 – died: 3 June 2011) was an Indian singer who born in Kolutola Street, Kolkata, then British India. He was also known as Amrik Singh. He is one of the promoters of the new modern style of Shyama Sangeet.[1] He had a natural voice. Although a member of the Sikh community, he created the first example of non-Bengali man to practice Shyama Sangeet. He became the first vocalist to songs, ghazals, Punjabi Bhangara film songs and Bhojpuri songs to input in Kolkata. He has given voice to more than two thousand modern, folk and spiritual Bengali songs. However, most of his songs were devotional.
