His music, reflecting life and socio-political happenings in India which every Indian could identify with, became popular largely with the growing, English educated, Indian middle class. A popular stage performer in India, he has also taken part in many music festivals around the world.

Indian pop music (), often known as Indian-Pop, Hindi Pop, Indipop or Indi-pop, refers to pop music in India. Pop music really started in the South Asian region with the famous playback singer Ahmed Rushdi's song ‘''Ko-Ko-Korina''’ in 1966. It is based on an amalgamation of folk music and classical music with modern beats from different parts of the world.

Overview
The term "Indipop" was first used by the British-Indian fusion band Monsoon in their 1981 EP release on Steve Coe's Indipop Records. Pop music began gaining popularity across the Indian subcontinent with Pakistani singers Nazia Hassan and Zohaib, forming a sibling duo whose records, produced by the Indian Biddu, sold as many as 60 million copies. Indian popular music was further popularized in the early 1990s with grass-root efforts made by Alisha Chinai, whose albums were also produced by Biddu, and MTV India. Since then, it was Shashi Gopal who pioneered the spectacular growth of this genre by producing, marketing and launching some of the biggest brands (e.g. Magnasound) in the Indian pop scene.Much of Indian Pop music comes from the Indian Film Industry, and until the 1990s, only a few singers like Remo Fernandes, Usha Uthup, Asha Bhosle, Sharon Prabhakar and Peenaz Masani were popular outside of the film industry. Since then, pop singers in the latter group have included Baba Sehgal, Alisha Chinai, Shantanu Mukherjee aka Shaan, Sunali Rathod, Palash Sen, K.K, Sagarika, Colonial Cousins (Hariharan, Leslie Lewis), Lucky Ali, and Sonu Nigam, and music composers like Jawahar Wattal, who made top selling albums with, Daler Mehndi, Shubha Mudgal, Baba Sehgal, Shweta Shetty and Hans Raj Hans.
Besides those listed above, popular Indi-Pop singers include Papon, Zubeen Garg, Daler Mehndi, Raghav Sachar, Rageshwari, Devika Chawla, Bombay Vikings, Sunidhi Chauhan, Falguni Pathak, Anushka Manchanda, Bombay Rockers, Anu Malik, Jazzy B, Malkit Singh, Hans Raj Hans, Raghav, Jay Sean, Juggy D, Rishi Rich, Sheila Chandra, Bally Sagoo, Punjabi MC, Bhangra Knights, Mehnaz,Sanober and White Revoluteries. Also, Indian music composer and singer Himesh Reshammiya gave a new face to high pitch pop singing through his debut album Aap Kaa Surroor(2006) which had unprecedented success in Indian music album sales.
Recently, Indian pop has taken an interesting turn with the "remixing" of old Indian movie songs, new beats being added to them.
Global Reach
Indian-Pop has made its way to the American charts, with singers like Rishi Rich (working with Britney Spears), Jay-Z (working with Panjabi MC), Anand Bhatt, Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Truth Hurts. (A suit for copyright infringement of a Lata Mangeshkar song has been filed against Truth Hurts' song, "Addictive"). Indian-Pop entered American movies with the movie, ''Moulin Rouge!''. Its main number, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend (Hindi)", featured Alka Yagnik's song "Chamma Chamma" from the Indian movie, ''China Gate'' (1998).
Popular rock musicians of Indian descent in the US include Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Anand Bhatt, and Tony Kanal of No Doubt. Grammy-winning jazz singer, Norah Jones, is the daughter of sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar of international fame, (US-born Sue Jones being her mother).
Indi-Pop has also become popular in the UK through songs and remixes by the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Erasure, Bananarama, and Samantha Fox. Pop singers of Indian descent in the UK include Talvin Singh and Freddie Mercury of British band Queen, (who was born in Zanzibar, Tanzania, and started his first band in an Indian boarding school in Panchgani). Indo-British band, Cornershop, also fuses Indian and Western music.
In Canada, Indo-Canadian musicians include Dave 'Brownsound' Baksh (a former Sum 41 guitarist now forming his own band, Brown Brigade); percussionist Safwan Javed (of the pop-rock trio, Wide Mouth Mason);Raj Ramayya Singer, Songwriter (The Beautiful Losers, Bhang Lassi) bassist, vocalist, and producer Chin Injeti (formerly of the trio, Bass is Base); Ian D'Sa (of Billy Talent); and Ashwin Sood (drummer ( husband of Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan)).
In the Scandinavian pop music scene, musicians of Indian descent include Yusaf Parvez of the Norwegian black metal bands, Dimmu Borgir/DHG/Ved Buens Ende/Code. Newest entrant is PUNKH an indo-German hiphop act that has stormed the Indian scene with the song "Punjabi na aawe" The lead singer Deepak Nair is also the front man of the indo-German rock band GURU
Seattle-based band Manooghi Hi (featuring Indi-Pop singer, Mehnaz,) vocalize in a multitude of South Asian languages, including English, Urdu, Sanskrit, Hindi, and Bengali. The band claims to have active members living in both the United States and Mumbai.

| occupation | Singer |
| years active | 1987–present |

Vinod Rathod, the son of singer Pandit Chhaturbhuj Rathod, is a Bollywood playback singer. He has sung in numerous popular Bollywood films including Chal Mere Bhai, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Mission Kashmir and Baazigar.
Rathod sang the song "Baa Bahu Aur Baby" in the ''Baa Bahu Aur Baby'' serial. His guru's name is Aksh Bhardwaj, son of Mr. Tarsem Lal Bhardwaj his father used to be in Indian Air Force and his mother an air hostess.
Early life
Vinod Rathod was born to the late learned classical musician, Pandit Chaturbhuj Rathod. His father knew that Vinod is very talented and interested in music. Vinod could grasp the essentials of music and has shown a distinct flair for singing. Hence his father gave him basic training.
Career in Music
His career started when Usha Khanna [after listening to his voice in a cassette] called him on April 1986, to sing a qawwali, “Mere Dil Main Hai Andhera, Koi Shamma To Jala De” in Bedaag. Mohammed Aziz was his co-singer. Vinod recorded no less than 40 songs for the composer, and also sang for composers like Ajay Swami and Surinder Kohli in his struggle phase. His TV serial title song, “Yeh Jeevan Hai Akash Ganga” for the serial Akash Ganga proved very successful amongst viewers.He entered the big films league when composers Shiv-Hari called him to record “Baadal Pe Chalke Aa” with Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadekar which proved popular and “Zindagi Har Janam Pyar Ki Dastan” with Lata Mangeshkar in Yash Chopra's Vijay in 1988 proved to be a greater success. Vinod was the voice of Rishi Kapoor in this multi-starer film. He then sang for Rishi-Yash-Shiv-Hari again in Chandni in 1989. This song, “Parbat Se Kaali Ghata Takrai” with Asha Bhosle also proved a hit along with “Sheharon Mein Ek Shehar Suna” with Lata Mangeshkar.
However, he got his real break in 1992 when Laxmikant Pyarelal offered him “Romeo Naam Mera” for ''Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja''. It has proven to be one of the biggest hit of 1992. Laxmikant Pyarelal rapidly called him for more films, which instilled confidence for Vinod among the other composers like Anu Malik, Bappi Lahiri and Anand-Milind. As luck would have it, Nadeem-Shravan [Shravan is Vinod's elder brother] were at the crest of popularity, and though Nadeem favored Kumar Sanu, he gave Vinod Rathod the onus of being the voice of Shah Rukh Khan in Deewana. “Aisi Deewangi” with Alka Yagnik proved a rage and “Koi Na Koi Chahiye Pyar Karne Wala” too proved popular. This film was also released in 1992. By 1993, Vinod Rathod was a busy man. Laxmikant Pyarelal gave him excellent songs in several films like Bedardi, Dilbar and many other films, and decided that he would be the major voice of Rishi Kapoor in the R K film Prem Granth. Their hits with him included “Jab Se Main Jara Sa Badnam Ho Gaya’ - Gumrah and “Nayak Nahin Khalnayak Hoon Main” - Khal-Nayak. Anu Malik swept aside Nadeem-Shravan by late 1993-94 and Vinod Rathod was very much there in hits like “Ae Mere Humsafar”, “Kitabein Bahut Si”, “Samajhkar Chand Jisko” and “Chupana Bhi Nahin Aata’ - Baazigar. Followed Ladla, Elaan, Agnisakshi, Muhabbat Ki Arzoo, Chahoonga Main Tujhe, Gambler, Parampara, The Gentleman, Zamana Deewana, Shreemaan Aashique, Maidan-E-Jung, Policewala Gunda, Hum Sab Chor Hain, Chaahat, Vastav and the hits “Duniya Ye Duniya Very Good Very Good” - Trimurti and “Dil Dene Ki Rut Aayi” – Prem Granth.
Vinod had a triumph of sorts in the Zee Telefilm, Mr. Shrimati, in which he sang “Aashiq Ki Hai Baraat”. His other hits include his songs from Deewana Mastana, Army, Hero No. 1 and Dulhe Raja, Tere Mere Sapne, and his latest chartbuster, “Dholi Taro Dhol Baje” - Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, “Chalak Chalak” – Devdas, “M Bole To” - Munna Bhai MBBS which has given his career a new boost after 1999. His songs from Chal Mere Bhai have proved popular too.
“Main Hoon Number Ek Gawaiya” from Saajan Chale Sasural proved his classical excellence which he has incorporated from his father. He has sung for all the leading composers and his list also includes Jatin-Lalit, Ravindra Jain, Bappi Lahiri, Viju Shah, Rajesh Roshan, Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen, Shantanu Moitra and A.R.Rahman.
His voice is flexible and suits from Dharmendra, Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Nana Patekar, Govinda, Jackie Shroff, to Shahrukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Salman Khan.
An unabashed Kishore Kumar fan, Vinod's singing replicates the punch, energy and throw of Kishore Kumar. His great voice and strong classical learnings has impressed mentors like Laxmikant Pyarelal. His regret is that could never sing for Rajesh Khanna, despite getting his first big film Vijay, whose cast was headed by the ex-superstar.
Vinod has worked for almost all reputed production houses of India. To mention a few : R K Films, Yash Raj Productions, Factory, Ramesh Sippy Productions, K C Bokadia Productions, Boney Kapoor Productions, Manmohan Desai Productions, Rajshree Productions, Mukta Arts, Bhansali Productions, Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions etc.
Not only a huge list of production houses Vinod has sung more than 3500 songs in various languages such as Hindi, English, Gujarati, Marathi, Sindhi, Punjabi, Bengali, Oriya, Tamil, Kannad, Telugu, Rajasthani, Bhojpuri and Persian.
Personal life
Vinod is happily married to Prerna who is his lifelong inspiration. He is the brother of singer Roop Kumar Rathod and music director Shravan Rathod.
