His unique ability to blend eastern and western styles without compromising authenticity has made him a fan favourite amongst the diaspora.

CAREER
His music first gained attention in 2012, when he stirred up massive online buzz with his Punjabi remix of Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake,” featuring vocals from Amar Sandhu.

In 2015, Singh was named Best North American Act at the Brit Asia TV Music Awards.
