[4] His father, Naresh Sharma, was a leading expert of musical arrangements, [5] having worked with almost all of the top composers in more than two hundred movies. Mithoon's father and his uncle Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma formed one-half of the composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal. [6]
Mithoon started learning music at the age of eleven. Since his father remained busy, he sent him to knowledgeable people to train himself.

In 2006, Mithoon's friend recommended his name to Onir, (director of Bas Ek Pal), who wanted an electro-based title track. This led to his first original song as a composer, "Bas Ek Pal" with singer KK, and was followed by "Tere Bin" (by singer Atif Aslam) in 2006. Both songs were included in the film Bas Ek Pal. . [8]
He wrote the score for Anwar, released in 2007 and his compositions Tose Naina Lage and Maula Mere are still extremely popular.
He also worked as a guest composer for songs on several nonmovie albums, such as "Kuch Is Tarah" from Atif Aslam's album Doorie , [9] and Abhijeet Sawant's and "Ek Shaqs" from the Abhijeet Sawant album Junoon. He released his own album, Tu Hi Mere Rab Ki Tarah Hai in 2009 with T-Series. For this album, Mithoon traveled to the United Kingdom to rope in musicians. There, he worked with musicians of the Philharmonic Orchestra. [10]
In 2011 he composed two songs "Aye Khuda", "Phir Mohabbat" for the film Murder 2 which also marked the debut of Arijit Singh.
