==Early life and education==
Anoop Seelin, born in [[Hassan, India|Hassan]] on 24 October 1979, always aimed to become a playback singer and film music composer. After completing his primary and high school education in Hassan, Karnataka, Seelin and with his family, moved to [[Bangalore]] where he pursued higher education. Completing his LLB, he opted to become a lawyer.

==Career==
Due to his vocal background and the musical influence of his family members, Seelin began singing with a band and other groups in Bangalore as a hobby. This hobby led him to pursue a career as a full-time vocalist when he started working as a chorus singer in 1999 with [[Hamsalekha]], a legend of the [[Kannada]] music industry. Over the next 6 years, Seelin was given a chance to sing track songs for numerous Hamsaleka compositions, with [[Hamsalekha]] personally guiding Seelin to become a renowned playback singer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2008/feb/1019647.htm|title=Mid-Day}}</ref>

===Break in the Kannada film industry===
His break in the Kannada music industry came when he got the chance to sing "Yaro yaro nannavalu yaro..."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/OndagonaBaa.php|title=Kannada Audio Ondagona Baa}}</ref> from the movie ''[[Ondagona Baa]]'', followed by hit songs from movies like ''Sarvabhoma'', ''Madana'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Madana.php|title= Kannada Audio Madana}}</ref> ''Dharma'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Dharma.php|title=Kannada Audio Dharma}}</ref> ''Janapada'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Janapada.php|title=Kannada Audio Janapada}}</ref> ''Nenapirali'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Nenapirali.php|title=Kannada Audio Nenapirali}}</ref> ''Sixer'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Sixer.php|title=Kannada Audio Sixer}}</ref> and ''Thaballi''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kannadaaudio.com/Songs/Moviewise/home/Thabbali.php|title=Kannada Audio Thabbali}}</ref>
