For all my fans this is how I got my start. I was actually pursuing a career in Information Technology but I guess music was my destiny. Actually, things changed for me when I met businessman Ketan Somaia in Kenya, who suggested that I take music professionally, and there was also the support of my family, my dad in particular who really is the backbone of my present career. I was honestly just messing around when I was recording my first song. I had absolutely no idea about the Indian pop scene, I recorded the song, a video was shot, the next thing I remember was the album sold a hell of a lot. I was in total shock. But you must keep in mind that it is not a single persons' effort that spells success. I mean, everyone down the line matters, right from my parents blessings, to the financier, the engineer, producer, tea boy, A&R Manager, secretary, the record company, THE FANS !My family is from a little village known as "Dalli" which is in the district of Jallandhar, in the northern state of Punjab in India. During my childhood, visits to India were not that often, after I left India, I remember going back on four occasions in the span of 20 years. I guess my father being a priest in the Sikh Temple in Kenya really helped, we always spoke Punjabi at home, all my Punjabi friends spoke Punjabi, most of my gujrati friends also spoke Punjabi, my dreams were also in Punjabi. My Parents and family have always been very supportive towards my music, despite the fact that I come from a very religious family, so much so, that my dad also pens most of my songs.
The high point was when my first album was nominated for the best debut album, I was nominated for the best male singer, The video of 'Punjabi munde' was nominated for the best video. The best Concert must have been the one in Chandhigarh. Some famous people that I keep in touch with would be Jeetendra, The BIG B, Rakesh Roshan, Neelam, Rajesh Roshan, Anu Malik, Pankaj Udhas, Moorty, DalerJI, Lucky Ali, Jaaved Jaffrey, Fluffy. Out of all my songs the one that makes me smile the most when I hear it would be GAL BAN GAYEE ! I guess its because a very special person 'helped' me write it ! I followed quite a few singers ranging from M.J. (Michael Jackson), Bob Marley, Jagjit Singh, Lataji, Ashaji, to Def Leopard, Monica Lewinsky, ooooooops !! not too sure about the last one.......My music is a blend of many different styles, but I try to keep the 'Bhangra' element a little more dominant than the other styles. The pioneers to the kind of music that I produce have got to be all the Punjabi bands in the U.K. like Alaap, Heera, D.C.S, Sahotas, Malkit Singh, Bill Singh Clinton. It has been done many times, but unfortunately not legally, If the re-mix is good, then I guess I'll let him/her walk.....But if its awful, then I'll sue the !*$ out of them ! Just kiddin' but a word of advise to all those D.J's doing that kind of a thing, if you release an album officially through a record label, you will surely reap the benefits ! I love any Indian dish. But my favorite one has to be the one Minal makes. yummmmyeeeee!! I am Married Of course, for the last 5 years ! In my spare time I cook, build/fly model aircraft, fish, swim, parasail, read, sleep, keep a close eye on the universe (astronomy), write, did I mention sleep ? I plan to do a concert in New York and New Jersey Very soon.......hopefully, if all goes well !!! I would like to thank you, all my fans for their love and support, all the people involved in my career, my parents and family for their support, My wife Minal for her constant, undenied Love and support, And finally 'OUCH' Fluffy.
